The SilverStone SST-ES02-USB is a 2.4GHz wireless computer power and reset remote switch designed to provide convenient control over your computer's power and reset functions from a distance. This device allows users to turn their computer on or off and initiate a reset without needing to physically interact with the computer's case buttons.
The core function of the SST-ES02-USB is to wirelessly extend the power and reset buttons of your computer. It consists of two main components: an ES02 adapter and a remote control. The ES02 adapter connects to your computer's motherboard, specifically to the USB 9-pin connector and the existing power and reset pin headers. Once installed, it acts as a receiver for signals from the remote. The remote control, a handheld device, sends wireless signals to the adapter, triggering the corresponding power or reset action on the computer. This setup is particularly useful for computers that are placed in hard-to-reach locations, integrated into home theater systems, or for users who simply prefer the convenience of wireless control. The 2.4GHz wireless frequency ensures a reliable connection between the remote and the adapter, allowing for control within a reasonable range.
Installation of the SST-ES02-USB involves a few straightforward steps. First, the ES02 adapter needs to be carefully installed into the USB 9-pin connector on the motherboard. Following this, the "POWER SW" and "RESET SW" cables from the adapter are connected to their corresponding pin headers on the motherboard, effectively replacing or paralleling the existing case buttons. It's crucial to ensure these connections are secure and in the correct position. If there's difficulty connecting to the motherboard's USB 9-pin header, a 90-degree adapter is included to facilitate the connection. Before installation, it's essential to turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the case cover for safety.
Once the adapter is installed, the remote control needs to be prepared for use. This involves removing a screw on the remote, inserting a CR 2032 battery, and then resecuring the remote by reinstalling the screw. After the adapter and remote are ready, the computer's power cord and other necessary cables can be plugged back in. The computer can then be turned on by pressing the power button on the remote.
The device also includes a re-syncing feature for the remote and adapter, which is useful if the computer fails to turn on despite both LED indicators being lit. This process involves pressing and holding a black button on the ES02 adapter for 3 seconds until its indicator lights up, then pressing any button on the remote until the indicator light on the ES02 adapter turns off. This ensures that the remote and adapter are properly paired and communicating.
Maintenance for the SST-ES02-USB primarily revolves around ensuring proper functionality and addressing common issues. If the computer fails to turn on when the power button on the remote is pressed, the first step is to check if the LED indicator on the remote blinks. If it doesn't blink, it indicates that the CR 2032 battery in the remote needs to be replaced. This is a simple procedure involving removing a screw, swapping the battery, and resecuring the remote.
If the LED blinks but the computer still doesn't turn on, further troubleshooting is required. Users should unplug the computer's power cord for safety and then verify that the "POWER SW" and "RESET SW" cables from the adapter are securely connected to the correct pin headers on the motherboard. Loose connections can prevent the signals from reaching the motherboard. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to check the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI menu to ensure that USB power-on functions are enabled, as some motherboards may require this setting for the remote switch to operate correctly.
The device is designed for ease of use and minimal ongoing maintenance, with battery replacement being the most common user intervention. The robust 2.4GHz wireless technology aims to provide a stable connection, reducing the likelihood of signal-related issues. In case of any difficulties in finding the corresponding pin header on the motherboard, users are advised to refer to their motherboard manual, highlighting the importance of consulting existing documentation for system-specific information.
