Note: The minimum voltage to start a 120 mm TriCool™ fan is 5V. We recommend that you set
the fanspeed switch to high if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device or to a fan-
only connector found on some Antec power supplies. A fan control device regulates the fan
speed by varying the voltage, which may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ fan
set on medium or low to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start
because the already lowered voltage from the fan control device will be further reduced by the
TriCool™ circuitry below 5V.
4.3 Washable Air Filter
From time to time it will be necessary to clean the installed filter. Not washing the air filter
will result in higher system temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend
checking the air filter at least once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on
system usage (users whose systems run 24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than
those who don't use their systems every day) and on environmental conditions.
To clean the filter:
1. Remove the filter screw on the right
side (if installed).
2. Grip the handle on the right side of
the intake vent as shown, and pull
away from the case.
3. Wash the filter as needed.
Latch the filter back into place and
4.
secure with screw (if desired).
