    Most ceiling fans I have ever seen have 2 cap values in a single unit with 3 wires (one of them being common to both caps) attached to the rotary switch on the wall plate.
    High speed has no cap.

    The capacitor is installed inside the CBus fan relay as per the images in the instructions.

    If you are unsure how to do this or not qualified I suggest you find someone else to do the work or instruct you.
