Replacing Rear System Fan

This section covers the removal and installation of the rear and front system fans.
Follow the instructions in this section to remove and replace the rear system fan:
1.
Remove the side panel as shown in "Pre-installation Instructions" on page 16.
2. Rest the system on its right side on a padded surface so as not to scratch the system.
3. Disconnect the fan cable from the system board. See Figure 2-13 on page 34 for the
location of the fan cable connection.
4. Locate the two fan release buttons on the back side of the rear panel, as shown in
Figure 2-12.
5. Using a pointed tool (such as a Phillips-head screwdriver), push on one of the
release buttons while at the same time pulling the fan upward until the release
button comes out of its notch. Keep upward pressure on the fan while pushing on
the second release button until the fan is released from the chassis. Figure 2-12
illustrates the procedure.
