Follow these steps to remove the power supply fan and shroud (Figure 9-9).
Reverse removal steps to install.
NOTE:
The fan must be installed with its flow direction arrow pointing
away
from
the power supply. When the fan is reinstalled and before reassembling the
ventilator, confirm correct air flow: connect AC power, turn on the
ventilator, then check that the fan blows air
away
from the power supply.
1. Remove the top enclosure (see “Top Enclosure” on page 9-4).
2. For 9.5-in. GUI, disconnect cables from the backlight inverter PCB
(see Figure 9-10). For the original 10.4-in. GUI, disconnect cable
from the DC/DC converter PCB (see Figure 9-13).
3. Remove the air inlet hose from the power supply shroud, then use a 4-
mm Allen wrench to remove the five screws that secure the shroud.
4. If present, disconnect the lithium battery.
5. Tilt the front of the shroud carefully and disconnect the fan harness
connector by lifting up on the latch from underneath.
6. To remove the fan from the original shroud, remove the four nuts,
screws, and twelve washers that secure the fan to the shroud.

secure the fan to the shroud.
