Power Mac G5 Take Apart

Front Inlet Fan(s)

The front inlet fan assembly consists of one or two fans in a plastic bracket. If the computer

is a uniprocessor, the assembly contains a single fan; if the computer is a dual processor,

the assembly contains two fans connected by a single cable.

You must remove the front inlet fan assembly to access many other parts within the

computer. For this access, remove the bracket with the fans attached. You will have to

remove the fans from the bracket only if you are replacing the fans themselves.

Tools

The only tool required for this procedure is needlenose pliers.

Preliminary Steps

Before you begin, open the computer and lay it on its side with the access side facing up.
