The N15E-Qn Graphics heat sink / fan assembly uses one type of design, and the N15M-
Q2 uses another. The location of the cards within the system and the removal and
replacement procedures are similar for all of these heat sink / fan assemblies. The
following graphic shows where the heat sink / fan assemblies are located in the ZBook
17 (top view):
Note: The N15E-Q3/Q5 heat sink / fan assemblies have a copper cover on the top side (as
shown in the top view graphic above); the N15E-Q1 and N15M-Q2 have an aluminum
cover.
If a 75W or 100W NVIDIA Graphics MXM card is removed, you must replace the thermal
pad by applying it to the system board before replacing the MXM card.
Note: The thermal pad is much thicker than the other thermal pads used the Graphics
heat sink / fan assemblies discussed above. Be sure to use the correct thermal pad for
this location.
Tech Tip: There is one additional thermal pad on the HP ZBook 17 between the top cover
and the system board. This thermal pad should be replaced each time the system board
is removed. This pad is included with the System Board spare. The following graphic
shows the location of this thermal pad:
Note: The N15M-Q2 graphic card and Graphics heat sink / fan assembly is used on both
the HP ZBook 17 and HP ZBook 15 products. Please refer to the previous section for the
details and layout of this option.
The following graphic shows where the heat sink / fan assemblies are located in the
ZBook 15 (top view):
Note: The N15P- Q1 and N15M-Q2 have an aluminum cover, and the N15P-Q3 has a
copper cover. The following graphics show the top views of the two heat sink / fan
assemblies.
The thermal pads required for each Graphics heat sink / fan assembly are included in the
spares kit for that assembly. In addition, FRU components that require the removal of
the Graphics heat sink / fan assembly will also provide thermal pads.
The following table provides the part numbers for the assemblies and components
discussed in this job aid.
