The 100D also has two power fan points. I was able to put the LNA on the original fan, then readjust the fans like below. I ran both for a week however sometimes the old fan would whir up, so I ended up disconnecting the original and left the NF-A4x20 and it has been stable!<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I got hold of a Fortinet Lab FG-100D.
