4. Setup and Installation

The HYTE LS30 qRGB Light Strips require a HYTE Nexus Portal NP50 or THICC Q60 primary node for connection and power. Ensure you have one of these devices available before proceeding.

4.1. Connecting the Light Strips

1. Identify Primary Node: Locate an available Nexus Link Type-C port on your HYTE Nexus Portal NP50 or THICC Q60.
2. Connect First Strip: Take one LS30 light strip and connect its Type-C cable to a Nexus Link Type-C port on your primary node.
3. Sequential Connection: If installing multiple LS30 strips, connect the second strip to the available Type-C port on the first LS30 strip. This allows for seamless sequential connection of multiple strips and other Nexus Link compatible devices like fans.

4.2. Mounting the Light Strips

The LS30 strips offer versatile mounting options:

• Magnetic Attachment: The strips feature 21 embedded Neodymium magnets. Simply place the strip onto any ferrous metal surface within your PC case or setup. The magnets provide a strong and secure hold.
• Adhesive Strips: For non-metallic surfaces, use the included adhesive strips. Peel off the protective backing and firmly press the light strip onto the desired clean, dry surface.

• Cable Management: Ensure that connection cables are not kinked, pinched, or under excessive tension, which could lead to damage over time.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HYTE LS30 qRGB Light Strips, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lights Not Illuminating:
  • Check Connections: Ensure all Nexus Link Type-C cables are securely connected to the primary node (NP50/THICC Q60) and between sequential strips.
  • Power Supply: Verify that your primary node is receiving adequate power and is properly connected to your system.
  • Software Status: Open the HYTE Nexus software to confirm that the light strips are detected and not disabled. Check for any error messages within the software.
• Incorrect Colors or Effects:
  • Software Settings: Review your lighting profiles and settings in the HYTE Nexus software. Ensure the correct effects are selected for the LS30 strips.
  • Software Update: Make sure your HYTE Nexus software is up to date. Outdated software can sometimes cause display inconsistencies.
  • Re-sync: Try re-syncing or re-detecting devices within the HYTE Nexus software.
• Intermittent Lighting:
  • Cable Integrity: Inspect all Nexus Link cables for any visible damage or loose connections.
