The Optional Fans - Antec Nine Hundred User Manual

The Optional Fans

There are two optional 120mm fan mounts—the side fan (on the left side panel)
and the middle fan (at the rear end of the HDD cage). We recommend using Antec
120mm TriCool™ fans and setting the speed to Low. These two fans should be
installed so that the air is blowing into the case.
The Side Fan — the side fan opening is there to enhance VGA cooling. Just drop a
fan into the bracket on the side panel so that air is blowing into the case.
The Middle Fan — the middle fan is designed to cool the CPU, VGA card or the
power supply if you choose to use a fanless power supply depending on which
drive bays you install the HDD cage into. You can use the middle fan on whichever
drive cage you do NOT install hard drives in. This design is especially useful in
cooling dual VGA card implementations.
1. To remove the black middle fan mount, press in on the clips
that secure the bay to its cage.
2. Place a 120mm fan inside the mount and press it into place.
5. Clip the fan mount/fan assembly onto the
back of an empty HDD cage.
6. Connect the fan to the power supply.
3. Use the long screws provided to secure the fan to
the mount.
4. Run the power (and control
switch if using a TriCool™
fan) through the cable
guide that runs along the
side of the fan mount.
