Using Lighting Node PRO (CRYSTAL 280X RGB only)

• Turn your system off prior to installing your Lighting Node PRO.

• Plug the mini USB cable into the back of the Lighting Node PRO then plug the 9-pin end into an available internal USB 2.0 header in your system.
  

• Connection Notes

  The Fan LED wiring must be connected to the fan hub in the order you want the lighting effects to be displayed.
  Fans must start at “1” and continue in series. 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6
  Any fan not connected in series will break communication and the RGB LED lighting function will not work.
  

• Mount the fan(s) to the location of your choice in the chassis.

• Find a location for the fan hub that allows connection for all of the fans RGB LED cables installed in your system to reach.

  The fan controller will also need to be plugged into the fan hub for control of the RGB LED lighting.

• Mount the fan hub with the provided mounting strips.
