Note:
The two installed fans
nearest the 5.25-inch drive
bays (fans 6 and 7 in
Figure 25) are separated by
a square piece of foam (the
piece with a crescent-
shaped hole) that extends
perpendicularly from the
front of the fans (in
Figure 25, it is the rectangle
between the round faces of
fans 6 and 7). You must
remove this piece to access
the two fans it separates
(pull it straight out).
