4. Panduan Pemasangan

4.1 Connecting Fans and ARGB Devices

1. Sambungkan Kabel ARGB: Connect the 3-pin ARGB cables from your fans or other ARGB devices to the 3-pin ARGB headers on the hub. The hub supports up to 12 ARGB devices.
2. Connect PWM Fan Cables: Connect the 4-pin PWM cables from your fans to the 4-pin PWM fan headers on the hub. The hub supports up to 12 PWM fans.
3. CPU Fan Connection: Ensure your CPU fan's 4-pin PWM cable is connected to the dedicated red 'CPU FAN' port on the hub. This port is specifically designed for motherboard speed recognition.

4.2 Sambungan Kuasa

Connect the provided SATA power cable from your power supply unit (PSU) to the SATA power input port on the hub. This provides stable power to all connected fans and ARGB devices.

4.3 Motherboard Synchronization

Connect the included motherboard sync cable (featuring both 3-pin ARGB and 4-pin PWM connectors) to the corresponding headers on your motherboard. This enables synchronization of ARGB lighting effects and fan speeds with your motherboard's software.

4.4 Pengurusan Kabel

Utilize the double-sided adhesive stickers provided to mount the hub securely within your PC case, typically behind the motherboard tray, to maintain a clean and organized build.

5. Operasi

5.1 ARGB and PWM Synchronization

Once connected to your motherboard, the hub allows for synchronized control of ARGB lighting effects and PWM fan speeds through your motherboard's software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync).

5.2 Fungsi Kawalan Jauh

The included IR remote control provides direct access to various lighting modes and adjustments. Point the remote towards the hub's IR receiver for optimal functionality.

5.3 Nota Penting

• 12V 4-pin RGB Not Supported: This hub is designed for 3-pin 5V ARGB devices only. Do not connect 12V 4-pin RGB devices, as this may cause damage.
• Fan Speed Recognition: Due to motherboard IC reading principles, only the fan connected to the red 'CPU FAN' port will have its speed recognized by the motherboard. Other fans connected to the hub will receive PWM signals but their individual speeds may not be reported to the motherboard.
• Remote Control vs. Motherboard Control: The remote control offers independent lighting effects. If you wish to synchronize with your motherboard's software, ensure the hub is set to motherboard control mode (if applicable via remote or switch) and that the motherboard sync cable is properly connected.

6. Penyelesaian masalah

• No Power to Fans/ARGB:
  - Ensure the SATA power cable is securely connected to both the hub and your PSU.
  - Verify your PSU is powered on.
• ARGB Lights Not Working/Syncing:
  - Check all 3-pin ARGB connections to the hub and the motherboard sync cable connection.
  - Confirm that your motherboard's ARGB header is 5V 3-pin. Do not connect to 12V 4-pin RGB headers.
  - If using the remote, ensure it has a working battery and is pointed at the hub's IR receiver.
  - If using motherboard software, ensure the software is updated and the hub is in motherboard control mode.
• Fans Not Spinning/Incorrect Speed:
  - Check all 4-pin PWM fan connections to the hub and the motherboard sync cable connection.
  - Ensure the CPU fan is connected to the red 'CPU FAN' port for proper speed reporting.
  - Verify fan headers on the motherboard are correctly configured in BIOS/UEFI.
• Alat Kawalan Jauh Tidak Menjawab:
  - Check the battery in the remote control and replace if necessary.
  - Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the hub's IR receiver.

7. Penyelenggaraan

The Thermalright ARGB and Fan HUB X12 IR Black requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check connections to ensure they are secure. Keep the hub free from dust accumulation to ensure proper operation and longevity. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, as this will void any potential warranty.
