8 - 278 Section 8-11 - Back End Processor (BEP) parts replacement
8-11-6-5 Back End Processor Fan installation
Follow these steps to install the replacement fan:
1.) Position the new fan in position so its mounting holes are aligned with the respective holes in the
BEP frame. Ensure that it is turned so the wire will reach the plug on the motherboard and so it will
blow the correct way, when running..
(See:
Figure 8-243 "BEP replaceable fans" on page 8-277 .)
2.) Insert the thin end of one of the new rubber mounts from the BEP frame’s outside and through the
fan’s fastening hole.
3.) Pull the rubber mount so the thicker part of the rubber mount is pulled through the fan’s fastening
hole.
4.) Repeat the steps above for the three other rubber fasteners.
5.) When done, cut away the excissive thin rubber from the rubber fastner.
6.) Plug in the fan’s plug to the connector on the motherboard.
7.) Install the BEP in the VIVID E9.
8.) You may want to power up the VIVID E9 for a short time, just to check that the new fan is running
OK, and running (blowing) the correct way, before you continue. Turn the VIVID E9 off again, as
soon as possible (within a few minutes), due to the risk of overheating when the covers are
removed.
9.) Install the BEP Cover as described in these steps:
a.) Insert the base of the BEP Cover inside the base of the BEP.
Be sure the bottom lip of the BEP Cover rests inside the BEP.
b.) Tilt the top of the BEP Cover toward the VIVID E9.
c.) Install the fixing screw(s) for the BEP Cover:
- On BEP6 there are two finger screws on the top of the BEP Cover.
- On newer BEP5 there are three Phillips screws, one on the top and one on each side of
the BEP Cover.
- On older BEP5 there is one finger screw at the top of the BEP Cover.
10.)Install the Left Side Cover.
NOTICE
Be careful not to pinch any of the cables when installing the BEP Cover.
