Installing the fan

1. Position the fan above the pipe

and heatsink assembly.

2. Fit the grooved edge to the

heatsink.

3. Carefully push down the fan until

it snugly fits the heatsink, then

connect the fan cables.

4. The above photo shows the fan

installed on the motherboard.

• Plug the fan cables to any of the HP_FAN1~3 connectors on the

motherboard.

• Make sure the fan is installed correctly to prevent damage to the fan and

motherboard components.

Install the fan only if you are using a passive cooler or a water cooler. Installing

the fan with an active CPU cooler will interfere with the airflow and destabilize

the system.

5. Repeat step 1-4 to install the other fans.
