Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to flip up the right handle, and the thumb and index finger of your left hand to flip up the left handle of the fan that you want to remove. 3. Firmly hold the handles and pull up the fan until it is disengaged from its connector. Avoid touching the fan blades while removing the fan. Spinning fan blades may cause injury! Note on the power supply mid-fan When you re-install the mid-fan for the power supply module(s) make sure that the arrow points to the direction of the rear panel. Installing the fan otherwise will cause CPU overheating. ASUS RS260-E3 2-35
