Default Antec TruePower 2.0 TPII-550PGB fan question

If anyone has the Antec TruePower 2.0 TPII-550PGB power supply, can you help me with this simple question. I got mine today, looks great and all, but I was just wandering- is the big fan on top exhaust? Does it blow heat out of the PSU or suck it in to be expelled out the back? I need to know because I might need to cut a few holes in my case on the top if it is exhaust. Cheers.

It's an intake into the PSU. The mesh by the plug and switch is the fan exhaust ouput.
The fan probbaly should be positioned facing down.
The screws should go that way.

looks like you mounted it upside down, it is an intake meant to be on the bottom side

The 120MM fan i think you are reffering to on the bottom of the PSU should be facing the motherboard so to speak. The fan on that PSU is an intake and gets rid of the hot air out the back of the PSU.
