Assembly

1. Print mounting plate
   
   
    
2. Assemble fans to mounting plate with normal screws.
   The fans must be fixed on the face with mountig domes of the plate (backside, facing into the casing).
   Make sure that both fans have the same air flow direction (push or pull if desired)
   
   
   
    
3. Assemble Anti-Vibration Fan Mounts
   
   
   
    
4. Place assembly in computer casing
   
   
   
   
   Assembled from the back side.
   Just pull the fan mout tips throug the metal sheet opening.
   Do not pull too much, so there is no direct contact from mounting plate to casing to ensure acoustic de-coupling.
   Make sure the fans are not blocked by any wires from inside the casing.
    
5. Connect fans to main board
   Use Daisy-Chain-Adapter to connect both fans to main board.
