Replacing the fan is not specifically mentioned, but it should be easy. Open the case as per the instructions, follow the power wire from the fan to the motherboard, unplug the connector from the motherboard, and then remove the assembly. Some of the earlier fan shrouds just lift up and out, but others have tabs to hold them in. There might be two release levers accessible from inside the case, but the one by the PSU can be hard to reach. It maybe easier to push the retaining tabs in from outside, using a small screwdriver, pen or whatever. The installation of the new fan, is just a matter of fixing the new one in place and connecting the cable.

You will need to get the replacement fan from Dell Spare Parts.
