How to put a FAN to RB433?

Wed May 21, 2008 1:20 pm

Hi,

anyone can help me with this?

I tried to connect the fan to the 5VDC connector in the RB433 and this not work even if I change health configuration in winbox.

wich is the correct configuration, connection and type of FAN? I read that the fan should work with same POE Power voltage? Then why 5VDC?

Thanks,
Martín.

apparently the software doesn't support the fan controls yet (wait for 3.10), but the fan itself should work. there are two fan connections, one is 3.3V which is marked on the board. The unmarked one is the same voltage as the board input. So if you plugged the 5V into the second one, you probably burned it. If you plugged it into the first one - there was probably not enough power for it :)

They are the only connectors on the board ... :?

They are ~2cm below the left corner of the miniPCI card slots.

Normis: The fan is the power input? No voltage regulation? Good thing I use 12v automotive on my solar instead of 24v. The 12v fan in there would be "cleared for takeoff!" Zoom!! Pop!! Oh, the humanity...

5VDC connector is not used, because there is no 5V converter on the board (it is unloaded).
