It has an extra fan kicking around in the drive bay, which appears to theoretically be blowing on the processor--ie. it is there, but was not connected to a power source. The repair manual for this machine does not show a fan in this location--though the case is clearly designed for one. Has anyone ever seen a fan in this location, and if so, does it blow or suck on the processor? Since it is in there, I guess I might as well wire it up and use it--just need to know which way it should be blowing air. >>
Many responses so here's mine. Unless you have a second HDD in the lower don't worry about it. In my experience it will cool a hard drive in the lower bay. YMMV. --glen For more details check out: http://www.geocities.com/glenstrek/7500_fan.html And you can find the unauthorized installation guide for the fan at: http://www.geocities.com/glenstrek/7500_Cooling_Fan.pdf (best cut and paste since geocites seems to be case sensitive for links) -glen -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
