2.10.2 HDD fan

To remove the HDD fan:

1.Loosen the thumb screw that secures the HDD fan cage to the chassis.

2.Hold the outer side of the fan cage, then pull sideways to release it from the chassis.

3.Disconnect the 3-pin fan cable from the fan connector on the backplane before completely detaching the fan cage from the chassis.

Due to space constraints inside the chassis, some cables may interfere with the removal of the fan cage. To easily remove the fan cage, try to slightly push it inward (toward the motherboard) before pulling it out of the chassis.
