Removing and installing the hard disk drive air duct
Attention: The hard drive front air duct must be installed correctly to allow the
flow of air for the hard drive; incorrect installation can result in hard drive failure.
The hard disk drive air duct should not be removed unless it is broken or installed
improperly. Once the air duct is removed, it typically cannot be reinstalled. A new air
duct (one that has never been installed) must be installed in the unit.
To remove the hard drive air duct:
1. Open the unit. See “Removing and installing the top cover” on page 12.
2. Using a small flat blade screw driver, unlatch the snap latches1 on the left
and right sides of the hard drive air duct and remove the air duct2.
3. To install the hard drive front air duct, reverse this procedure.
