Ensure the fan cable is correctly routed through the opening in the lower-
right corner of the fan cage.

in the fan with the holes in each corner of the fan cage, then pull the
grommets through until they snap into place.
NOTE:
Airflow direction and orientation are shown on the side of the fan.
Insert the tabs along the bottom of the fan cage into the corresponding slots
on the cage housing, then rotate the fan cage forward until it snaps into place.

system board (see "System Board Components" on page 103).
