4 537499-001 — Removing and Replacing the System Fan
8 Locate the CD/DVD drive in its cage, and the fan
below it.
9 Remove the system fan screw.
10 Push in the metal tab (1) above the fan as you tip out
the top of the fan (2), and lift the fan (3) partway out
of the computer.
11 Trace the system fan cable (1) to the motherboard,
disconnect it (2), and set the fan aside. Write down
where it was connected so you have that information
when you install the new fan.
CAUTION: Note there are two fans in the
computer. For this procedure, you remove
the system fan directly below the drive cage
(shown in the rectangle), not the processor
fan to the left (shown with the circle and X).
IMPORTANT: Recording the plug location and
orientation helps ensure you correctly install the
replacement fan.
