Removing or Installing the Cooling Shroud Fan

CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety
precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE:
Never remove the memory cooling shroud without first powering down the system. Overheating of the
system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the system and the loss of data.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 53.
3 Release the fan bracket from the cooling shroud by squeezing the blue latches on each side of the
fan bracket, and then rotate the bracket to the up position. See Figure 3-13.
