Removing or Installing the Cooling Shroud Fan

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

NOTICE: Never remove the memory cooling shroud without first powering down the system. Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the system and the loss of data.

1Remove the front bezel, if attached. See "Removing the Bezel" on page 50.

2Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 53.

3Release the fan bracket from the cooling shroud by squeezing the blue latches on each side of the fan bracket, and then rotate the bracket to the up position. See Figure 3-13.

NOTE: Do not remove the cooling shroud from the system to perform this step.
