Ensure that air flows toward the heatsink and toward the rear of the blade.
Place the bracket on the side of the fan where the rotating blades are located.
Insert 4 screws you removed in the previous step and tighten.
6. Attach the fan to the heatsink by replacing the two screws you removed in step 3.
Ensure the fan is mounted so the power cable:
• Is on the bottom, against the motherboard
• Exits the right side of the fan, closest to the CPU FAN1 header on the
motherboard
7. Connect the power cable to the CPU FAN1 header on the motherboard.
The fan is now replaced. You can now return the blade to a chassis as described in
