Section 2 – Memory Cooler Removal and
Installation Process

All P620 systems ship with fan assemblies that sit over the memory DIMMs to
provide sufficient airflow to those components. Follow the steps below to remove
or install the memory cooler assemblies. Note that removing the memory cooler
assemblies will likely make it easier when installing or uninstalling the CPU.

To remove the memory cooler assembly:

• Unplug the 4-pin fan connector noting the specific location of the header on
the motherboard.

• Push on the spring-loaded tab on the side of the memory DIMM slots, then
lift and rotate the assembly off the DIMM slots using a clockwise motion.

• Do this for each memory cooler assembly installed on the system.
