Hello Marcel, We do not provide instructions on how to install components (redundant fan in this case) into your server.
We would be more than happy to provide you with a link to a youtube video that describes the process.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should require more assistance with this install.

The order was smooth. The only thing is the model of the delivered hard drives is not the exactly mode I ordered. Later I called back and I was told they are the same drives.

Great service as always

I have ordered from Hard Drives Direct on multiple occasions over several years, and have always been satisfied with the product and with the range of devices supported. They have saved much more money in extending device lifespan than the drives have cost.

As with previous orders no issues. Product as presented on the website and worked great. Bear in mind if you order from Canada they ship to their Canadian office first which means you get a delivery confirmation for that delivery and then the product is shipped to you. Not a real issue, just poorly communicated.

Hello Mark,
Thank you for your feedback and for being a returning customer! We are glad the product met your expectations again. We appreciate you pointing out the shipping communication. While the majority of our Canadian orders do ship from our Ottawa office, occasionally we may need to ship from our US warehouse (we cover all cross border fees). We will look into making that clearer moving forward. Thanks again for your continued support!
