FAN INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
STARTER KIT
This section will provide a brief guide on how to install your LX-R RGB Starter Kit.
Create or Add Into a Fan Group
Connect the LX-R RGB fan into an existing fan group by aligning and inserting the connectors into the open active (I) and passive ports (J).
Set Up the LX-R RGB Fan Group
After connecting your LX-R RGB fans together, insert the iCUE LINK cable (F) into an open active port (I) on one of your LX-R RGB fans.
Install LX-R RGB Inside the Case
Mount the LX-R RGB fans onto your case with the supplied QuikTurn mounting screws (C).
Please note that QuikTurn screws thread much faster than traditional self-tapping screws; we advise only hand-tightening QuikTurn screws with a screwdriver to avoid over-threading your LX-R RGB fans.
