Directions

illustration

1. Use four (4) 15mm screws to attach the 40mm fan to the Internal 40mm Fan side panel. Here the fan is used as an intake.

2. Place the assembled side panel against the case body. Note that the top and bottom screw holes are not symmetrical. This fan will act as a second intake in the front, opposite the one on the Raspberry Pi.

3. Fasten with four (4) M3 screws at least 8mm long.
