Easy. 4 screws (2 in each side) hold the back of the cabinet in. The fan is mounted to this. It can be a bit painful to slide out and get back in but it isn't too difficult. There is a temperature sense clip screwed to the heatsink of the transmitter that is supposed to control the fan speed. IMHO this isn't needed and your replacement fan probably won't have it. The only reason to reduce the fan speed is for noise reduction if it is used as a "desktop" repeater. Don't bother trying to order the fan from 'M' - just get a generic computer-style 12v fan of the same size (it is a standard size). For longevity use a ball-bearing fan - a bit more expensive but still cheaper than an overheated TX PA due to fan failure. BTW, when reinstalling the rear cover be sure to a) make sure that all interconnect cables are sitting neatly and not fouling the fan, and b) get all the screws lined up and started before tightening any of them. Oh, yes. The rear cover has a second set of mounting holes that can be used to mount it slightly protruding from the rear of the cabinet to provide more clearance if required. Hope this helps. -- Rodney Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
