Before trying to change the direction of a power supply fan, please be aware
that power supplies hold a charge even when they are unplugged.  There are
numerous warnings against opening a power supply, for good reason.

I had an occassion where I wanted to reverse a power supply fan, but in may
case the power supply had never been used.  You might be well advised to go
purchase a new power supply which already has the "blowing out"
configuration.

I have heard of ways to fully discharge a power supply, but have never done
so and would be reluctant to post those instructions by memory.  You might
do a search for information on this.
