Installing a case fan

[jaylek55]

I know this is a stupid question but how do you know which way to install a fan? I currently have a PC & Power Cooling Silencer fan which came with no instructions for this newbie. I want the fan to blow air out of the case. So which way must it be installed, label facing the back of the case or label facing the front of the case? Is there an easy way of knowing?

If you look on the housing of the fan there should be arrows telling you which way the blades will spin and which way the air will blow.

Plug it in, start'er up and see which way the air flows

Not ture Paulson, the 60MM 38CFM delta fans have the Global Win logo on the opposite side of the air flow....

Some Fans have logo on both sides.

If you hold a fan there is one face that has the moving Rotor, and the other side is stationary. The air flows from the Rotor to the Stationary.
