- Connect FAN MATE 2 (adjustable fan speed connector) to the 3-pin connector of a fan as shown in Figure 1. - Connect FAN MATE 2 to the 3-pin CPU fan connector of the mainboard. - Turn on the computer after assembly is finished. - When the speed control knob is turned fully counter-clockwise, the fan speed is minimum, and the fan operates in silent mode. You can select the desired fan speed by turning the knob.
When booting a computer in which FAN MATE 2 is used with the CPU fan, an alarm sound may be generated by a system monitoring program to indicate that the rotation of the CPU fan is slow.
If this happens, you may turn the speed control knob fully clockwise to increase the fan speed, set "CPU Fan Detected" to "Disabled" in the BIOS settings, or set the slowest rotation of the CPU fan in the system monitoring program to less than or equal to 1500 RPM.
* Some mainboards do not boot if the rotation of the CPU fan is below a certain number of RPM. If the BIOS settings are updated, Silent Mode can be used. For more information on updating your BIOS , please refer to your mainboard manufacturer"s web site.
