Yup.  It should be pulling air through the Amiga and out the fan.  This can have
the disadvantage of also pulling dust into your Amiga, but it's done this way
because the fan is mounted in the power supply.  If it forced air in from the
back, it would get heated across the supply before going to your boards and all.
