Ceiling Fan - Safety Cable
I'm replacing an existing ceiling fan with a new one. The new one has a safety cable that needs to be attached to a ceiling joist. How am I suppose to install this safety cable without tearing out the ceiling drywall? Is it necessary to use the safety cable? I have never seen one on a ceiling fan before. This particular fan is fairly heavy. Thanks.

The box is rated for ceiling fans.
I actually have three that I am doing. One is Ellington (Antoinette) and the other two are Savoy House (Gossamer and Monarch). All three have the safety cables. I got the fans at a local retail lighting store.
