Loosen the captive knurled screws (Fig. 23, pos. 1) and pull the fan slide-in module upwards out of the fan
compartment (Fig. 23, pos. 4).

Replace the fan slide-in module with a new functioning one and push the latter into the system fan compartment until
it is attached to the connector.

Tighten the knurled screws up again.
6.
Close the device and secure the cover with the knurled screws.
