FAN MATE 2 Installation and Usage 1) Installing FAN MATE 2 on the Inside of the System 2) Installing FAN MATE 2 on the Outside of the System Double - sided Tape Fan Connector (CNPS9500) FAN MATE 2 6-Pin Connector Motherboard Connect the appropriate 3-pin connector on the cable to the motherboard fan header and the CNPS9500's fan connector. Pull the 6-pin connector out of the system through the back and connect it to FAN MATE 2, which should be installed on the case using the included double-sided tape ( ). When the speed control knob on FAN MATE 2 is turned fully counter-clockwise, the fan operates in Silent Mode. Turned fully clockwise, it operates in Normal Mode. You can select the desired fan speed by turning the knob. Note) FAN MATE 2 has been specifically designed for the fan of this product. Zalman Tech Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damage to systems or CPUs caused by using it with other types of fans. 11. Notes on Usage 1) Checking CPU Compatibility Please refer to "Compatible CPUs" on page 3 to confirm that your CPU is compatible before using the CPU cooler. 2) Cautions During Booting When booting the computer, it may automatically power down after an alarm sound by a system monitoring program to indicate that the CPU fan is rotating slowly. If this happens, turn the speed control knob fully clockwise to increase the fan speed. Then set `CPU Fan Detected' to `Disabled' in BIOS settings, or set the slowest rotational speed of the CPU fan in the system monitoring program to less than or equal to 1300rpm. Note) Some motherboards do not boot if the rotational speed of the CPU fan is below a certain rpm. If the BIOS settings are updated, Silent Mode can be used. For more information on updating your BIOS, please refer to your motherboard manufacturer's website. Disabling CPU fan speed detection in BIOS settings does not affect computer performance. 3) OVERCLOCKING Zalman Tech Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damage resulting from CPU OVERCLOCKING. 7 12.
