Fan/heat sink assembly NOTE: The fan/heat sink assembly spare part kit includes replacement thermal material. Description For use on computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with discrete memory For use on computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with UMA memory Spare part number 606575-001 606574-001 NOTE: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 in) of clearance on the left side of the computer. The computer uses an electric fan for ventilation. The fan is controlled by a temperature sensor and is designed to turn on automatically when high temperature conditions exist. These conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/battery conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software requirements. Exhaust air is displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer. Before removing the fan/heat sink assembly, follow these steps: 1. Shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system. 2. Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer. 3. Disconnect the power from the computer by first unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet and then unplugging the AC adapter from the computer. 4. Remove the battery (see Battery on page 43), and then remove the following components: a. Hard drive (see Hard drive on page 44) b. Optical drive (see Optical drive on page 51) c. Keyboard (see Keyboard on page 53) d. Top cover (see Top cover on page 56) e. Display assembly (see Display assembly on page 65) f. System board (see System board on page 76) Remove the fan/heat sink assembly: 1. Turn the system board upside down with the front toward you. 2. Disconnect the fan cable (1) from the system board. 3. Loosen the captive screws (2) that secure the fan/heat sink assembly to the system board. NOTE: The number of captive screws securing the fan/heat sink assembly to the system board vary by computer model. Computer models equipped with a graphics subsystem with discrete memory have six captive screws securing the fan/heat sink assembly to the system board, as shown in the first illustration below. Computer models equipped with a graphics subsystem with UMA memory have three captive screws securing the fan/heat sink assembly to the system board, as shown in the second illustration below. 80 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
