That model number is for one of the 16 port 56k modem cards. Max model numbers are typically like MXHP-2T1-48NA (4048 for example). Anyway, here is what you need to do. Remove all the screws from the sides of the max including the ears and the longer screw holding the front panel on. Pop off the front panel. The top will lift off from the bottom with a little effort. The fans just screw onto the bottom of the case. You will need to solder (spelling is probably wrong) the wires for a good connection as there aren't any clips. If you call the fan manufacturer, they will tell you where you can buy the fans at or try http://www.indek.com/ Paul At 11:02 AM 1/19/2001, you wrote: >Hello All, > >we have a MAX 4000 (MX-SL-16MOD-S56) which has a cooling fan that is >starting to develop noise, it sounds like a bearing or similar starting to >fail.
