The fan IS listed in the Hardware Maintenance Manual, I'm looking at the 
relevant pages right now. Download the manual from

No, that is only one of six possible fan assemblies. Download the above 
manual, then look through the parts list and find your Machine Type and 
Model Number in the listing for the fan assemblies (No. 25 in the 
exploded view). Then you will have the correct FRU number and can start 
trying to find the part for sale somewhere.
