3/ ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND PRODUCT USAGE
Apogee® Drive connections
•
Power:
connect
the
4-pin
Molex
connector to your power supply.
•
RPM sensor: connect the 3-pin single
wire connector to the motherboard CPU
fan header.
Critical recommendation:
Connecting the pump RPM sensor to the CPU fan header is critical in order to monitor the
pump. All modern motherboards have safety features that you can enable in the BIOS that will
shut down the power in the event of a CPU fan failure or in this case in the event of a pump
malfunction. We cannot stress enough how important it is to enable this safety. While the
system will overheat if the radiator fan fails, it can still operate for a prolonged period of time
when the CPU is at idle, whereas a pump malfunction will result in a rapid (a few minutes) and
catastrophic system failure in all cases!
