Installation
Follow these steps for a successful installation:
- Connection Notes:
- Connect the fan LED wiring to the fan hub in the desired order for lighting effects.
- Ensure fans are connected sequentially (1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6). Failure to do so will disrupt communication and RGB LED functionality.
- Mounting the Fan(s): Mount the fan(s) to your desired location within the chassis.
- Fan Hub Placement: Find a location for the fan hub that allows all RGB LED cables from installed fans to reach it.
- Fan Controller Connection: The fan controller must be plugged into the fan hub to control the RGB LED lighting.
- Mounting the Fan Hub: Use the provided mounting strips to secure the fan hub.
Installation Continued
- RGB LED Controller Placement: Position the RGB LED controller for easy cable reach to the fan hub and button access.
- Mounting the RGB LED Controller: Use the provided mounting strip.
- Connect Fan Controller to Fan Hub: Plug the 3-pin cable from the fan controller into the fan hub.
- Connect Fan Hub Power: Connect the SATA power cable from the fan hub to an unused SATA power connector from the system PSU.
- Connect Fan Power: Plug the fan power cable into an unused fan port on your motherboard or fan controller. This cable provides power and PWM control for the fan.
- Connect RGB LED Cable: The RGB LED cable provides power and control for the RGB LEDs.
- Ensure Proper Connection: Both cables must be plugged into their respective ports for the fan to operate correctly.
Optional Installation
An optional cable is included to allow connection to an external switch for controlling mode, color, and speed.
- Chassis buttons like reset or power switches can be used with this optional cable.
