Disconnect the fan

Use a pair of tweezers to grip the edges of the fan connector and pull up to disconnect it from the motherboard.
Pull the fan cable by its connector, not the wires themselves.
During reassembly, be gentle while plugging in the fan connector.
If the connector is misaligned, the use of too much force can damage the fragile internal pins.
