Note: The minimum voltage to start a typical TriCool™ fan is 5V. We recommend that you set the fan
speed to High if you choose to connect the fan(s) to a fan control device or to the 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 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.
