Ok thank god it's just not me that had trouble ;) the female ends are tucked inside and you just have to font them mine where just next to the dad rom slots

I can't find the connection either. Checked the schematic and I did not see any socket. So I have an adapter collecting dust!

The internal fan is broken, same with mine. Opened it up and its a cheap computer fan. I replaced it for 4 dollars at a computer store and it works. If you're under warranty, send it back or take the risk and replace the fan.Good luck

Connect a molex to the fans if you want to use the integrated fan controller. There should be a female molex connector coming for the controller

The cable you need comes with the fan. One end into the fan's USB and the other end into the PC's USB and you're good to go.

if you remove the lighting fixture, or cover if your fan does not have a light. You will see the capacitor there. Just color match the wires and Connect.

The fan has a connector block that accepts a stripped end, which is then screwed down with a set screw. The block doesn't have a ground, so only a 2-wire cord is necessary, and the fan draws very little power, so a beefy cord isn't necessary. Best would be 2-wire into a GFI socket or 3-wire with ground to the housing.

check page 7 of the booklet. on the end where the on/off button is there is an opening rather hard to see just pull it out and there's the opening for the USB cable ...HOPE THIS HELPS.

It should turn on as soon as you plug in the USB. If it's not, the USB port might not be getting power for some reason, or it's just broken, like mine is. And honestly, it works almost as well without the fan.

Hi,you can not control the fan, since you only have a two pin connector on your card. Best regards,Jens

There's a cable with the little fan connectors on it. Additionally, some motherboards have 1 or 2 fan control plugs (in addition to the CPU fan control). If your motherboard has them, then it's *probably* a good idea to use those for the primary case fan, as the BIOS will rev the fans up and down according to its needs. (I think the included cable is designed to plug into an old-style Molex connector from the power supply, but I'm not 100% sure and I can't get to my machine at the moment.)

Use the power button. Pressing it: 1st time - turns the unit on with the fan on high, 2nd press - Medium fan, 3rd press, low fan.

Yes, take out of box, plug in. Push one of four buttons to select fan speed.

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

It's to turn on the fan that is attached to the rack...and the fact that if you were to have a PSU hooked up to this (Via the 24 pin connector) without the On/Off switch (Which also turns on the fan) you would have no means of turning on your PSU. A PSU "Has to" be attached to something in order for it to turn on, which is why so many people think they have a broken PSU when they simply plug in the A/C adapter & nothing works. So it's kinda' two-fold. Now, if you are merely using it to "Hold" your drives, and you are powering everything from your primary PSU in your tower, then technically you don't need it. Your drives may run hot though without the fan!

there is a usb cable in the bottom of the unit. there is no switch so the way to turn it on is plug the cable into your computer.
