Removing the Processor Fan/Heat Sink Assembly

NOTICE:

Do not touch the fan blades when you are removing the processor

fan/heat sink assembly. This could damage the fan.

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 105.
2 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on

page 107).

3 Disconnect the processor fan cable from the system board (see "Inside

View of Your Computer" on page 109).

4 Carefully move away any cables that are routed over the processor fan/heat

sink assembly.

5 Loosen the four captive screws securing the processor fan/heat sink

assembly and lift it straight up.

CAUTION:

Despite having a plastic shield, the heat sink fan assembly may be

very hot during normal operation. Be sure that it has had sufficient time to cool
before you touch it.

NOTE:

The processor fan/heat sink assembly in your computer may not look

exactly like the one shown in the illustration above.
