ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 Manuale Utente

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77

2-33

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.

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.

•  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.
