Konfigurazioa eta Instalazioa
Follow these steps to install your Thermaltake SWAFAN EX 12 RGB fans:
1. Magnetic Fan Connection
The SWAFAN EX fans feature a magnetic force design for easy connection. Align the fans side-by-side, and they will snap together securely, forming a daisy-chain. This reduces the number of cables needed for multiple fans.

2. Swapping Fan Blades
The SWAFAN EX fans come with swappable fan blades, allowing you to easily change the airflow direction (push or pull) without reorienting the entire fan. To swap blades:
- Gently twist and pull the pre-installed standard fan blade from the fan frame.
- Align the desired reverse fan blade with the motor hub and push it firmly until it clicks into place.
