I have made a diagram to show you exactly how to wire the fan to the GPIO pins. Wiring the fan for the mod is dead simple, but you do need to get it right. Just a nice firm press for about 30 seconds and it will be firmly in place. You donвЂ™t need to put a tremendous amount of pressure and risk breaking the case. This allows you to get the adhesive dot right in the middle of the fan sticker and not obstruct the airflow with a bad alignment. It is useful to rotate the top part of our case around so you can see down through the ventilation slots. Now line up the fan with the center dot and then firmly press it down and to the side against our half dot on the side.

Here is a picture to see where I placed it: Right near the middle of the ventilation slots is the sweet spot. The fan can sit above the GPIO pins but you need to have it far enough away from the top corner that you wonвЂ™t bump into the wires we plug into the GPIO pins in the next step. Room in this case is *very* tight so you need to place the fan away from the GPIO pins where we are going to be plugging into the fan. Now that you have cut the material and cleaned the surfaces thoroughly with rubbing alcohol (let the alcohol evaporate off before placement) you are ready to place the adhesive dots. The 3M dot material acts almost as a soundproofing material which will give you extremely quiet operation. This also has the benefit of keeping of preventing any fan noise or ratting of the fan against the case. We will use this to give further stability to the side of the fan to ensure that we have a solid mount. Next cut a second adhesive dot in half giving a crescent moon shape.
