About this task
NOTE:
The fan may become hot during normal operation. Allow sufficient time for the thermal fan to cool before you touch
it.
NOTE: For maximum cooling of the processor, do not touch the heat-transfer areas on the thermal fan. The oils in your skin
can reduce the heat-transfer capability of the thermal grease.
The following image indicates the location of the thermal fan and provides a visual representation of the removal procedure.
