Installation
Hardware installation
Shut down your PC and separate the system from the mains.
Ensure that there is no remaining static charge in your body or the enclosure. We recommend using anti-
static gloves and touching the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 only with anti-static gloves. Avoid any direct contact
with the components on the PCB.
Take the Alphacool Heatmaster 2 from the packaging and mount the unit in a suitable spot in the enclosure.
Connect the USB connection cable first.
Make sure that the USB connectors are connected with the correct polarity both on Mainboard and
Alphacool Heatmaster 2!
Please note that connection with wrong polarity may lead to destruction of the Mainboard and / or
the Alphacool Heatmaster 2.
Now connect the power cable (4-Pin plug). Be very careful not to damage the other components on the
board.
Now connect the components which are to be controlled or monitored (e.g. fans, sensors, relays, buttons,
pumps or LEDs).
It is possible to automatically boot and shut down the PC via the Alphacool Heatmaster. For this feature the
Power-Connect cable (not included) is needed. Should you already have ordered this cable it can now be
installed.
Shut the enclosure of your PC, reconnect it to the mains and start up your PC.
