I'm confused.... installing psu

newby newb newb. I have a neopower 480. I also have a removable psu bracket on the case. So now I've taken the bracket off and put it on the psu and I don't know which way to put it back in. I think I read that the fan goes down, but that makes the Antec emblem upside down. To further confuse matters the stickers on the other side are the opposite way.
Which way does the psu go into the case, fan up or down (Neopower 480)? thanks in advance.

The quick way to find out is how hte screw hols in the psu line up with the screw holes in the case - they will only match up one way, and thats the right way. If you don't have any screw holes, as long as the fan is pushing air out of the case, it doesn't matter which way up is right.

Fan usually points down, but Vulcan is right, the screw holes will only line up one way unless this removable PSU braket will allow both directions.

Yeah, the bracket only goes on the psu one way, but it goes in the case either way.

The internal fan should be an intake and the rear should be an exhaust. The intake goes towards the main compartment of the case.
