Use the following steps to install the
fan assembly. Follow the ESD precautions outlined in Safety Instructions.
- Connect the 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe AUX
power cables to the card. Gently connect the 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe AUX power cables to the AUX connectors on
the card (shown in the following figure) and ensure they are mechanically fixed
(with a click).
- Bend the 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe AUX power
cables underneath the card. This ensures the fan assembly mounting bracket will
properly attach to the card. Do not over bend.
- Attach the metal fan mounting bracket. Align the metal fan mounting bracket
and attach it with the three screws as highlighted.
- Connect the fan power connector. Gently plug the fan power connector from
the fan assembly to the card.
- Attach the fan assembly to the card. Angle the fan assembly so the notch
(circled in the image) goes under the card shroud. While holding onto the edge
of the metal fan mounting bracket, push the fan assembly down until it is firmly
attached. When attached, it is held in place by the metal fan assembly
bracket.
- Secure the fan assembly to the mounting bracket with the six screws
(highlighted in the following image).
Fan assembly is successfully attached.
