Which way around do these fans work?

Hello,

I am fitting, 2 silent eagle 1000 fans to my pc case. One on draw and the other on expel. I cannot tell with the fan running if its sucking or blowing. If the sticker on the middle of the fan is facing outward from inside the case is it sucking air in or out?

If you look on the fan itself, on the side there are 2 arrows indicating direction of flow and rotation, if youve got it fitted, try holding a piece of paper in front of it to see what way its blowing.

The frame that the motor is attached to is always on the rear of the fan. The fan draws air in the front and out the rear.
