9.9 Checking the CPU fan
On the CPU (processor) there is a heatsink with cooling fan.
Check the CPU fan frequently under normal conditions.
The fan can be checked with “hardware monitor” software supplied with the
motherboard. This software can warn the operator if the fan speed is under a
minimum threshold setup.
The heat sink + fan provided from the factory is a long life type, but if the
temperature of the heatsink often rise over 70°C th e lifetime of the fan can
considerably drop.
Caution
The motherboard must work only with the (factory-approved) heatsink
+ cooling fan installed on the processor and well operating.
If the fan fails, it must be replaced with a factory-approved one.
To replace the heat-ink with fan cooler follow instructions on the motherboard
user’s manual.

If the fan fails, the whole power supply unit must be replaced.
