Intel MB440LX manual Replacing the Fan Below the Power Supply, 123

Replacing the Fan Below the Power Supply

See Figures 4-23 and 4-24. The arrow on the fan indicates the direction of airflow. The fan pulls air through the hot-docking bays and exhausts it out of the system.

1.Place the plastic housing—flexible tabs facing up—on a flat surface.

2.With the power cable side of the fan facing up, place it inside the plastic housing. Route the cable through the slot in the side of the housing.

3.Press down on the fan until the inner flexible plastic tabs on the housing snap into place on the fan. Make sure you do not pinch the cable between the housing and the fan.

4.Place the assembly—fan-side down—on a flat surface. Attach the finger guard to the fan with the screws you removed earlier.

5.Position the plastic housing and fan assembly inside the chassis below the top power supply, and align the tabs with the slots in the back of the chassis.

6.Insert the bottom flexible tab through the bottom slot in the back of the chassis. Then press the top flexible tab through the top slot until it snaps into place.

7.Connect the fan power cable connector to the fan header on the hot-docking backplane.

8.Replace the top cover and both side covers (page 80).
