Framework Laptop 16 Graphics Module Fan Installation

Place the fan onto the Expansion Bay Shell, making sure to thread the cable through its slot.

Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to tighten the four captive screws securing the fan.

Use your fingers to grip the brown pull tab and slide the fan cable straight into its socket.

Use the flat end of your Framework Screwdriver, or a clean fingernail, to press down the locking tab on the fan ZIF connector.

Place the cover over its slot on the Graphics Module.

Use your Framework Screwdriver to install the four 3.6 mm‑long T5 Torx screws securing the Graphics Module cover:

Two screws on the flat surface of the module, next to the fans.

Two screws on the thin edge of the module, near the ends. You'll need to flip the module on its back edge to access them.
