[comp.sys.next] fan on old cubes

In response to my message re: cube fans

Regarding your question about reversing the fan on an older NeXT: Iattended NeXT technical service training at NeXT in Redwood City. They
specifically told us not to ever reverse the old style fan (I have
one myself). Apparently the venting within the Cube itself is matched
to the direction of the airflow. A old Cube with a reversed fan will
not cool properly. Related note: Just last week NeXT sent me a service
upgrade kit that included a sample dust filter and cleaners for both
the OD and the disks themselves. You may want to contact your service
rep about availability of these.
