C.2 Clean the LPOD PS 1 Heat Sinks
To clean the LPOD PS 1 Heatsinks, do these steps:
Step
Task
1
Disconnect power from the LPOD.
2
Remove the eight screws – four on either side of the fan shroud – see
Figure C-3.
Make sure that you use the correct screwdriver to avoid
damaging the screws.
3
Lift the fan shroud assembly far enough off the chassis to expose the
heat sinks and access the fan's power supply connection – see Figure
C-4.
4
Disconnect the fan power supply. First, depress the connector's locking
mechanism, and then pull apart the mated components – see Figure
C-5.
5
Visually inspect the exposed LPOD heat sinks, located on the top and
either side of the chassis, for any accumulated debris or blockage that
may be obstructing airflow. Use compressed air to clear and clean the
heat sinks as needed – see Figure C-6.
Make sure that you blow between the heat sink fins to remove
any foreign object accumulation.
