To install the new front system fan:

1Place the new front system fan into the recess in the front of the bottom drive cage. Orient the fan with the label toward the inside of the chassis (toward the system board) and the fan power cable to the right of the drive cage.

2Secure the fan to the drive cage with the four screws previously removed.

3Place the bottom drive cage into the chassis under the middle drive cage and slide it forward so that the support tabs on top of the bottom cage engage the middle drive cage. Slide the bottom drive cage right to align the screw holes with the holes on the front of the chassis.

4Secure the drive cage with the four screws previously removed. Make sure to correctly route the fan power cable.

5Replace the plastic card guide and any expansion cards removed previously.

6Replace the hard drives into the bottom drive cage.

7Reconnect the data and power cables on the hard drives.

8Plug the fan power cable into the appropriate connector on the system board.

9Replace the bezel, then close the case by following the instructions on page 20.

10Reconnect peripherals, the modem cord, and the power cord, then turn on the system.
