Installing Your DigitalDoc5
Connecting The Fans
Each Fan Connector has three wires, red, black and yellow. The red wire
is the power (+ 12VDC), black is the ground (GND) and the yellow is the
RPM
Speed. Each DigitalDoc5 comes with a 40 x 40 mm fan, designated at the
factory as Fan 1. It is connected to the number one temperature sensor.
All other Fan Connectors are clearly marked as Fan 2, Fan 3, Fan 4...
Although there should be only one way to attach each Fan Connector to
each Fan, make sure the wires are matched up correctly. Unless you are
connecting a 2-pin fan, red should match with red, black with black and
yellow with yellow.
If you are using a 2-pin fan the yellow wire will not be
used.
The Power Cable
The DigitalDoc5 Thermal Sensor is designed to connect to a +12 VDC
power - source-no batteries are required. One end of the power source
cable supplied with the unit is a standard 4-pin female connector; it is
designed so that there is no way to incorrectly insert it. The connector at
the other end connects to the DigitalDoc5 PCB at location marked
PWR_CON. This connector is also designed so that is can only be
connected the correct way. Following is a drawing of the power cable:
Install The DigitalDoc5 In An Open 5 1/ 4" Bay
After you attach the power cable you can now mount the DigitalDoc5 in
any open External 5 1/ 4" Bay. Install it as you would any 5 1/ 4" device
with the screws provided in the package.
Tip
:
Your DigitalDoc5 also
acts as a Hard Drive
cooler. You can mount a 5
1/ 4" hard drive assembly
right on to the DigitalDoc5
bracket. You don't lose a
bay and cool your hard
drive off. Cool!
