3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your JAZZCOOLING DM-120 PC case fans:

1. Identify Mounting Location: Determine the optimal locations within your PC case for fan installation (e.g., front intake, rear exhaust, top exhaust). Ensure the fan size (120mm) matches the case's mounting points.
2. Orient the Fan: Observe the arrows on the side of the fan frame. One arrow indicates the direction of airflow, and the other indicates the direction of blade rotation. Install the fan to achieve desired airflow (e.g., intake cool air, exhaust hot air).
3. Secure the Fan: Place the fan against the mounting holes in your PC case. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the fan firmly. The integrated rubber pads on each corner of the fan help absorb vibrations and reduce noise.

4. Connect Power: The DM-120 fan offers two power connection options: a 3-pin connector for motherboard fan headers or a 4-pin Molex connector for direct power supply connection.
• Motherboard Connection: Connect the 3-pin connector to an available 3-pin or 4-pin fan header on your motherboard.
• PSU Connection: Alternatively, connect the 4-pin Molex connector to a compatible 4-pin Molex plug from your power supply unit (PSU).

Important: Do not connect both the 3-pin and 4-pin Molex connectors simultaneously to avoid potential short circuits or damage.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and connected, the JAZZCOOLING DM-120 fan will operate automatically when your computer is powered on. The fan is designed for continuous operation to maintain optimal internal temperatures.

Performance Characteristics:

• Speed: Approximately 1,200 RPM (±10%)
• Airflow: Up to 43.28 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute)
• Noise Level: ≤ 24.18 dBA

5. Maintenance

The JAZZCOOLING DM-120 fan is designed for low maintenance due to its high-performance hydraulic bearing. This bearing type is engineered to absorb and conserve lubricating oil, effectively reducing wear and noise over its operational lifespan.

Recommended Maintenance Practices:

• Regular Dust Removal: Periodically inspect the fan blades and frame for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust, ensuring unobstructed airflow.
• Bearing Longevity: The hydraulic bearing is sealed and does not require user lubrication. Avoid disassembling the fan, as this may compromise the bearing's integrity and lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your JAZZCOOLING DM-120 fans, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Fan Not Spinning:
  • Ensure the fan is correctly connected to either a 3-pin motherboard header or a 4-pin Molex PSU connector.
  • Verify that only one power connector (3-pin or 4-pin Molex) is used per fan. Connecting both simultaneously can prevent operation and cause damage.
  • Check if the power supply unit (PSU) is functioning correctly and providing power to the connected header/cable.
  • Inspect for any physical obstructions preventing the fan blades from rotating.
• Excessive Noise:
  • Confirm that the fan is securely mounted with all screws tightened. Loose mounting can cause vibrations.
  • Ensure the rubber pads are properly seated at each corner of the fan to absorb vibrations.
  • Check for any cables or objects touching the fan blades.
  • Clean any dust buildup on the fan blades, which can cause imbalance and increased noise.
• Poor Cooling Performance:
  • Verify the fan's orientation. Ensure it is pushing air in the desired direction (e.g., intake for cool air, exhaust for hot air).
  • Ensure there are no significant obstructions to airflow inside or outside the PC case.
  • Clean any dust filters or vents in the PC case.
