I have just installed the cool Panel and do not understand how to hook up the fan monitors. The directions explain nothing about this feature, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Usually, there's a small assortment of pins on the HD-side or near the IDE channels where you can plug in the fan information wires; it usually says something like "chassis_fan" and then has the ground plug on either end and 2 labelled pins.

All I can say is to try and line up the labelling on the wires (sometimes saying "1", "2", and "GRND" on them, or just 123...many different ways) with the labelling on the mobo, which could require a magnifying glass. That's how mine is, anyway, although for the longest time I never even bothered connecting it.

Just remember to unplug the computer and ground or de-static yourself before messing around too much.

I hope this is helpful, and at least accurate.
