Okay, so we want to open this little guy.
We remove the cap with the HDD and the stand first...
... then unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom.
Instead of cutting the stickers you should consider just to pull them up, in case cutting will get you in trouble with warranty issues.
Too late for me, my fingers were faster than my brain.
Next, gently lift the front panel from the main case.
Don't break these 2 pins as they are needed to put the panel back in its exact position later.
See how much tape they used?
Ah, take care of the power button coz...
... you don't want to lose these two parts.
Okay, looking at the top you see these 2 clips.
Carefully lift the case here to...
... unclip both sides.
The same we'll do with the other one and voila...
... you can open the case like a book.
Now cut the tape so you can completely remove one side of the case.
Don't cut this little pad
So now we can have a look on the Ultra's mainboard. If you want to have a look on the other side of the board, I marked the 4 screws that you'll need to remove.
Otherwise... here's the Mini PCIe port for the 16GB SSD module.
But since I don't have that PCIe SSD, let's continue.
After removing the 4 screws, lift the board up and...
... we get to see the other side of the board. The cooling solution doesn't look very common I think so...
... it will be difficult to find a replacement fan later in case the used one will get louder in future, anyway...
... we got what we wanted: we disassembled the Ultra
