Noctua NF-A14 ULN [2/2] Cleaning and maintenance

Installation

When installing the NF-A14 ULN 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-A14 ULN 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-A14 ULN 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 3:4-pin adaptor (NA-AC1).

The NF-A14 ULN 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-A14 ULN comes with an Ultra-Noise Adaptor (NA-RC12) that allow you to reduce the fan speed from 900 to

650rpm 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-A14 ULN’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.
