In order to install a front fan, the front fascia needs to be removed. This is accomplished by simply pushing on the six locking tabs and gently pulling the fascia away from the case. While the front fascia is removed this is a good time to remove any of the break away tabs covering the 5.25" slots as needed, and remove the floppy drive bay cage. The installation of the floppy cage and optical drives can also be performed without removing the front fascia. The holes for the front fan are large enough to allow for good air flow, so removing the stamped grill is not necessary.
