Thermal Armor for ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77

The Thermal Armor for ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 consists of a rear I/O cover fan, and
a cover fan assembly, providing effective dissipation of the heat generated from the
motherboard components. To ensure the most optimum heat dissipation, follow the
instruction below to install the I/O cover fan to the rear I/O cover.
Installing the first accessory fan:
1. Remove the screw on the rear I/O
cover, and then remove the lid to
show the fan socket.
2. Secure the accessory fan to the
designated fan slot of the I/O fan
cover lid using the two bundled short
screws. The fan cable must be on
the bottom right corner opposite to
the installed I/O cover fan lid, and the
back of the fan faces the screw hole
of the I/O fan cover lid.
• Use the bundled 40mm I/O
cover fan lid if you want to install
a 40mm fan.
• The arrow markings pointing
in one direction determine the
fan's back part and the direction
of the airflow.
3. Remove the release paper, and stick
the adhesive sponge on the opposite
side of the installed I/O fan cover.
• The sponge acts as a filler
between the PC board and the
fan.
• The sponge is not needed
if you choose to install the
40mm fan.
