Installing the Panel Connecting the fan controller and temperature sensor

1) Remove the cover of an empty 5.25" 1) Connect the fan cable connector to J .
external drive bay.

2) Insert all cables into the empty drive bay.

2) Connect the other end of cable K to
Push the allinone into the bay until it is
the fan headers on the M/B.
flush with the chassis front panel, the
screw holes should align with the chassis
drive bay holes.

3) Secure the Allinone with screws of I .

3) Connect P to the temperature sersor cable
connector from the allinone panel.
Use the adhesive tape to stick the temperature
sensor probe of P in the appropriate location.

CAUTION :
In auto mode, the fan speed will be controlled
automatically, please place the sensors in the
appropriate position.

NOTE :
Do not place the sensor between
the heatsink base and the CPU surface.
Place the sensor on the side of the heatsink
near the base.
