Replacing fan on My Cloud PR4100 - Error message received

My Cloud OS 5 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud
1

An error message says “fan not working”. On the back of the outer case are three screws - one each side and one at the top. The cover is still on firmly after I take them out. Obviously there are other steps. Before I ruin this thing does anyone know how to remove thecase s i can get at the fan? Thanks.
