Replacing a fan

To replace a fan, remove the failed fan module and replace it with a new fan module.

A video for this task is available at:
  1. Identify the fan module that you must replace by checking the console error messages or by locating the lit LED for the fan module on the motherboard.
  2. Remove the fan module by pinching the locking tabs on the side of the fan module, and then lifting the fan module straight out of the controller module.
