Quick question: What is push/pull configuration?

[KickAssCop]

Got an H80 corsair. Want to setup push/pull to bring in air. Just want to know simple thing, how do I set it up?

Best way to let me know is which side the fans are facing?

The way I understand is that the side of fan which has the corsair sticker on it faces the front (that is I can see it from either side of the radiator once installed). Essentially, I should be able to see corsair sticker on the fan for both fans (be it left or right side of the radiator).

Is this correct? Any pictures to illustrate (from both sides of the radiator)?

one fan blowing air (push) into the rad & the other pulling (pull) air out of the rad.

Most fans have arrows on them showing you the direction of the spinning blades and the direction of airflow.

From the blog article seems like one fan will not show the corsair sticker (the one on the left hand side).

You have to look at the direction the fans are blowing. You want them blowing the same direction, the direction depends on how you set it up in your case. Some people use them as exhaust fans, some use them as intake fans. What you don't want is the fans blowing opposite directions either both toward each other or both away from each other.
