Installation
When installing the NF-S12A FLX on a heatsink, radiator or other devices that use a custom mechanism for fan
installation (fan clips, proprietary screws, etc.) please use this mechanism for installation.
When installing the NF-S12A FLX as a case fan, you can either use proprietary clip systems (if your case features a
clip system for fan installation) or the supplied mounting screws and silicone anti-vibration mounts. In order to install
the fan using the silicone mounts, please first pull the silicone mounts through the mounting holes of the case. Then
put the fan onto the silicone mounts and pull them through the mounting holes of the fan:
Connection
The NF-S12A FLX features a standard 3-pin fan connector. Please note that the fan can also be connected to 4-pin
mainboard fan headers though. If you would like to connect the fan directly to your power supply, please use the
supplied a 3:4-pin adaptor (NA-AC1).
The NF-S12A FLX features a short 20cm primary cable in order to help you minimise cable clutter in typical applica-
tions. If you need a longer cable, please add the supplied 30cm extension (NA-EC2).
The NF-S12A FLX comes with Low-Noise (NA-RC10) and Ultra-Noise Adaptors (NA-RC12) that allow you reduce the
fan speed from 1200 to 900rpm (NA-RC10) and 700rpm (NA-RC12) in order to achieve even quieter operation.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Fans inside computer cases tend to accumulate dust over longer periods of usage. In order to maintain maximum
performance, please clean your fans regularly using a duster, slightly moist tissue or canned air. Please be careful
not to use too much force in order to prevent any damage to the fan. Please don’t use a vacuum cleaner as this may
apply excessive force to the fan.
In order to ensure flawless operation over many years of usage, the NF-S12A FLX’s premium grade SSO2 bearing is
fully sealed to prevent the entering of fine dust particles. Please note that the fan is not designed to be taken apart
by the user. Removing the impeller from the frame will break the sealing of the bearing and results in a loss of
warranty.
