Make sure you orient the fan closest to the fan port correctly. The orientation is shown in the image below.

  1. Install the fan onto the RUBIK Pi 3 and secure it in place.

warning

We recommend that you do not remove the fan after installing it on your RUBIK Pi 3. Removal will cause the fan's push pins and thermal pads to degrade and may result in product damage. If the push pins are damaged, deformed, or not clipping securely, stop using the fan.
