System Unit Fans

 

Your system unit has several fans that are used to cool various areas

 

within the unit. See Figure 5-9for fan area locations. Since you are

 

allowed only to remove the hard disk drive fan, this section just covers

 

that task.

CAUTION

If one of the fans in the fan areas shown in Figure 5-9is not working as

 

indicated by an LCD error message, you need to call your local

 

Hewlett-Packard support representative. Continuing to operate your

 

system unit with a bad fan will cause damage to the system unit. To

 

determine the fan that needs to be replaced, read Chapter 7 of this

 

document.
