Cleaning the Cooling Components

After removing a fan, you may spray compressed air into the fan to clean the fan. In addition, you should periodically clean the air intake.

  1. Remove the front bezel from the chassis.
    Remove the front cover
  2. Gently wipe the front fan bezel that contains the perforated air inlets with a clean, dry cloth. Alternatively, use compressed air to clean out the perforated air inlets.

    Note:

    Only the removable fan bezel has vent holes that require cleaning.

    To prevent damage to the painted finish, do not use any solvents or liquids to clean the perforated air inlets on the front of the chassis.

  3. Blow compressed air through the air filter to remove any dust.
  4. Replace the air filter and then the front bezel.
