Alienware Area-51 R5 Service Manual
Procedure
WARNING Despite
having a plastic shield, the processor liquid-cooling assembly may
be very hot during normal operation. Ensure that it had sufficient
time to cool before you touch it.
CAUTION To ensure
maximum cooling for the processor, do not touch the heat transfer
areas on the processor liquid-cooling assembly. The oils in your skin
can reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal grease.
- Lay the chassis on the right side.
- Disconnect the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump-fan cable from the system board. For more information on the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump-fan cable connector, see “system-board components”.
- Disconnect the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump-fan cable from the system board. For more information on the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump-fan cable connector, see “system-board components”.
- In reverse sequential order as indicated on the processor cooling-assembly pump, loosen the captive screws that secure the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump to the system board.
- Remove the four screws (M5x10) that secure the processor liquid-cooling
assembly fan to the chassis.
- Slide and lift the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan and processor
liquid-cooling assembly pump out of the chassis.
