lower fan’s screws are covered by another sheet of metal, so I had to glue the grille to it
with some E6000 industrial adhesive (see Figure 4.3). As you can see, because the lower fan
was glued in place, the mounting tabs that are present on the upper fan needed to be
removed. I accomplished this task by scoring the break point of each mounting tab with a
file and simply bending the metal until it broke.
