Note: The tape used to secure the fan is not ordinary
tape, but a special tape with safety characteristics. This
tape is part of the Mylar FRU.
If you need to replace the fan, besides the new fan, you
need to get from the Mylar FRU the following: the tape
mentioned above, two sponge strips to stick on the sides
of the fan, and a double-sided adhesive tape to attach on
the underside of the fan. Refer to the old fan.
Warning: The fan cable should follow the path shown in
the figure. If the fan cable gets pressed or weighed down
and is damaged, the chassis might get short-circuited.
Warning: When removing the fan, do not tilt the fan too
much to any one side. The post that steadies the fan is
delicate and will break if too much pressure is exerted on
it. Take care in removing the fan, it should be done as
vertically as possible.
