Replacing the FSX 1600 fan assemblies
6
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
To replace a fan assembly, perform the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the top right corner of the chassis front.
2. Using the flathead screwdriver, loosen the four captive screws that secure the fan (marked
“Fan A” or “Fan B”) to the back of the chassis.
3. Remove the fan from the chassis by inserting your fingers underneath the fan enclosure and
pulling the enclosure toward you as shown in Figure 62. Pulling the enclosure unseats the fan
connector from a chassis connector.
Be careful not to accidentally insert your fingers into the fan while removing it from the chassis.
The fan may still be spinning at a high speed.

4. Insert the new fan assembly into the fan slot and push the enclosure in until the face plate is
flush with the chassis. Pushing the enclosure in seats the fan connector with the chassis
connector.
