4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your AsiaHorse Rocket-X fans:
- Prepare your PC case: Ensure your PC is powered off and unplugged. Open the side panel of your case.
- Mount the fans: Securely attach the fans to your desired locations (e.g., front, top, rear) using the provided mounting screws. Ensure proper airflow direction.
- Connect fans to the hub: Connect each fan's cable to an available port on the AsiaHorse control hub. The fans do not require a specific connection order.
- Connect hub to power: Connect the SATA power cable from your power supply unit (PSU) to the control hub.
- Connect hub to motherboard (optional ARGB sync): If you wish to synchronize the fan lighting with your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync), connect the 5V 3-pin ARGB cable from the hub to the corresponding 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard. Do not connect to a 12V 4-pin RGB header, as this will damage the LEDs.
- Connect reset switch (optional): If you want to control lighting effects via your PC's reset button, connect the reset switch cable from your case to the 'RESET SW' port on the hub.
- Cable management: Organize cables neatly to ensure proper airflow and a clean build.
- Close case and power on: Close your PC case, plug in the power, and turn on your computer.
