  Removing the system fan

To replace a system fan assembly, there are four plastic tabs that must be aligned carefully in
corresponding chassis holes and then rotate and snap.

NOTE

Be sure to also reinstall the memory fan.

Power supply

1.

Disconnect power from the system (

Predisassembly procedures on page 57

) and remove the side

access panel (

Side access panel on page 63

).

2.

Disconnect the power supply cables from the system board.

CAUTION

Be sure you can differentiate which power cable was disconnected from the

PCI Express x16 graphics card and which power cable was disconnected from the system
board. These two cables have different pin counts and different colors. The PCI Express
power cable has a 6-pin black connector, and the system board power cable has an 8-pin
white connector. When power is present, you must 

never

 connect the PCI Express power

cable to the system board. If you do so, the system board can be damaged and your warranty
voided. To see a picture of the PCI Express cable and where it must be connected, see
the 

PCI installation on page 79

.

3.

Disconnect all other components connected to the power supply, such as optical drives, diskette
drive, hard drives, and select models of add-in cards.

4.

Remove the four screws 

1

 from the back panel.

5.

Slide the power supply toward the front 

2

 and lift up 

3

 to remove it from the chassis.
