NZXT Phantom: Requesting help connecting two LED fans

[Pat Moloney]

The button for controlling the on/off switch only allows one LED connection at a time. Is there a way I could connect two LED fans to this switch? I'd be very grateful for step by step guides.

The button for controlling the on/off switch connects to the motherboard, same as the power led.

But where do I plug the LED cable that is attached to the fan? Both fans have this cable.

Are the fans bought separately?

Yes. I have the stock LED fan and another NZXT LED fan that I just got two days ago.

I don't remember NZXT led fans coming with separate wires for leds. Have you connected the fan and led doesn't work?

I'm saying there are two cables: One for connecting the fan to the fan controller and the other turning the LED's on/off with the button on the back.

All NZXT LED fans come with these two cables.

Then look for the wires coming from the button on the back.
If not finding them, tomorrow I'll open the case and look for them, as I really can't remember right now.

I know where the wire for the button is but I'm saying this one room for a connection. You can only plug one LED into it at a time.

No need to open the case (for me).

If wanting to connect the other leds too, you can try connecting them in parallel (+ to +, - to -)

But how do I tell which one is + and -?

 

[alexoiu]

Actually, connect each led, separately and note which wire to which goes. Then make the connections for all 3 leds, respecting polarity. I hope I was clear.

I'm not sure what you mean. How do I connect each led separately?

 

[alexoiu]

I mean connect one led to the switch and note which wire to which (like a to a and b to b). Disconnect, connect the other one, note again. Same for the third. Then connect all 3 leds so that the a led wires are connected to the a wire of the switch and b led wires to the b wire of the switch.
