EMac Fan Noise - Zalman FanMate 2 Installation Help Needed

Hello everyone,
I'm after some help on how to install a Zalman FanMate 2 to my eMac to reduce the fan speed and therefore noise.
I purchased a Zalman FanMate after reading a previous thread on the discussion board on how to reduce fan noise. There was helpful info and links on the discussion, however the installation instructions (which included switching and soldering some wires) related to installation of the discontinued FanMate 1. The FanMate 2 I had purchased has slightly different wiring. Unfortunately the link on the discussion for installation of FanMate 2 is broken, and I can only seem to find conflicting instructions on the web on which wires to solder to which.
So, here's how the wires are currently arranged if the FanMate 2 is plugged into the eMac:
FanMate (F) to eMac Fan (M): Yellow>Red, Red>Black, Black>Yellow
FanMate (M) to eMac Power (F): Black>Green, Red>Black, White>Yellow
Having already unsuccessfully tried one suggested rewiring combination (the first FanMate 2 popped and gave an exhausted puff of smoke), I'm a little cautious and would really appreciate some sound advice before I do some serious damage.
Many thanks in advance, folks.
Best wishes,
Ewan

Hello Jon,
I don't thnk that model of fan drive is compatible.
If it looks different. I'd take it back.
There are fan add-ons and software that can tweak this issue(I went with software).
There is an article here: http://www.lbodnar.dsl.pipex.com/eMac/eMac-upgrade.html
Scroll down and you'll see the guy did similar to you with the Zalman.

  • Retina MBP making fan noise - Apple store unwilling to help

    Hi All,
    Any adivice would be appreciated with my problem.  So I got a Retina MBP when it first came out and noticed it had a ding so I took it to the Apple store and exchanged it - no questions asked.  The newer unit they gave me, which I currently have is making a very odd fan noise.  It is faint but apperent when working in quite enviroments like at my office.  Its really annoying.  I took it to the Apple store recently and explained the situation and told them that the original unit i had didn't have this problem at all so I know its not the typical fan noise.  They maxed out the CPU, RAM, etc. and said they couldnt' here it and as such, are unable to replace my unit.  I told them that I do not do that much intensive work on it and only can here it when its quite - they probably wouldn't here it in the loud store. 
    As a result, I have now recorded the faint sound coming from the fans but I don't know what the best approach is to have the just replace my unit.  Should I take it back to the apple store with the recording?  Should I just call apple care?  Apple is getting worse and worse in my opinion with customer service.  I remember a time where, if i was unsatisfied with their product, they would exchange it no matter what. 

    Hi,
    Yeah Apple solved it.  I called Apple Customer Support, not "Applecare" and the person was very helpful.  I told them that i recorded the noise - it was in my downloads folder.  The person set it up so I could mail in the laptop through an Apple store and they replaced the fan.  I was without a laptop for like a week though. 
    Hope that helps.

  • EMac Fan noise! how to quieten it down a tad...

    hello, i've got an old 1ghz power pc G4 eMac with a roaring great fan that makes life as we know quite unbearable. i saw a fantastic article on the web about six months ago with super detailed instructions with illustrations of how to fit a variable resistor at some point near the fan to quieten it down. now i know some would say that the eMac would overheat and end up as a giant paperweight but if it doesn't shut up a bit it's going to be a paperweight anyway.
    now that i have a bit of time to explore the resistor idea i can't find the article on the web... does anyone know where it is? has it? has a similarly fool proof manual?

  • Installation help needed

    I'm struggling to install the new Flash Player 10 on my OLPC
    XO laptop. I have downloaded the program OK but I'm really lost
    when it comes to installing it. Rigt now I cannot get video or
    sound on my laptop from YouTube or web sites. Can anyone please
    give me some simple eay to follow steps that would help me to
    install this program. I'm hoping that there will be another OLPC XO
    user out there who has more gifts in this area than I have. I will
    greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
    PS - Another possibility is a lead to another site that might
    offer specialty help in things like this - I've tried the OLPC site
    but the Wiki stuff is very complicated!

    The "unix executable file" just indicates the flag for the file, but it doesn't mean it's going to run, even less to install.
    There are several possibilities:
    You got an incorrect download, and it's actually a windows program.
    Your download is corrupted.
    The install file, for some reason, is missing its right file extensions, such as .dmg, .pkg
    You got the file from a disk burned with Roxio or other burning utility, which could cause such trouble with file extensions.
    You can try opening Applications/Utilities/Installer, and select the path to the file, but I don't think it will work.
    Some apps like Macromedia Dreamweaver MX used to show like that, and used their own flash installer.
    I think you'll have to contact the software developer.
    Good Luck.

  • Solaris 10 Installation - Help Needed Please

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded a copy of Solaris 10 and I cannot get it to install on my system.
    At the moment I am using the GUI to try and install the OS. I can get past the part where you select the language 0 for english.... It then thinks about it for a bit and display the error message "No Disks Found, make sure they are cabled and connected". I then get put into the terminal window.
    My system spec is as follows:
    Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard
    Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 160GB Serial ATA150 Hard Disk.
    LG CD Burner
    LG DVD Burner
    XP installed on half the hard disk. Nothing on the other partition.
    I don't really know what I am doing wrong, so any advice would be gratefully recieved. This is the first time I have tried to install Solaris so it doesn't matter how basic the instructions are. I could do with keeping the XP installation, but it is not essential.
    Is it possible to get Solaris to dual boot?

    Refer to this link in the Solaris 10 documentation:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5177/6mbbc4g3d?a=view
    Follow it for more info on setting up SATA support. As for dual booting, it should be possible with something like grub.

  • VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

    Hi All,
    I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
    I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
    I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
    I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
    Error message as attach.
    I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
    My Question:
    Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
    How to get the reporting server to working?
    What port is needed to it all working??
    VCM server Ms Win2012.
    SQL version 2012.
    Many thanks to all who reply.

    Hi Simonhoo79,
    For SSRS,   first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/75910bcb-a879-4eb7-9757-acc45201fa3a/can-not-connect-to-reportserver-http-404-file-not-found?forum=sqlexpress
    For SQL server ODBC connection,
    Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
    1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
    2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
    3. Select SQL server and click finish
    4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
    5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
    6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and  check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
    7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
    VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2  and it doesn't support windows server 2012  but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.

  • Xspf player installation- help needed DESPERATELY

    I've been trying for over 2 months to install the xspf player on my iWeb site.
    This is the URL:
    http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/Audio_4.html
    which shows what I haven't managed !
    I just checked on a Windows PC and the page is blank- not even a blue rectangle. In iWeb, it looks exactly the same as this page viewed on a mac; ie. the player hasn't properly established itself either.
    This is the HTML code I used:
    <object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”400” height=”170” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF”
    data=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?

    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#FFFFFF” />
    </object>
    PLEASE can someone help, or I'll need a brain transplant soon !
    Thanks,
    SeaDream.

    Can't really help, but, if it is any consolation, it works very well on my machine (using Firefox)
    hmm...
    (goes to test)
    Okay, good news, works in Safari, works in Opera. Songs load very quickly too!
    Doesn't work in... Internet Explorer. Go figure...
    BTW very nice site, matches the music well (my first impression). And both somehow match your nickname.
    (...and since everyone's a critic ) Your music sounds very clean and quite delicate. I'm going to listen more intently to it later on. Souunds and looks like a nice job, Kay!

  • Database patch installation help needed

    Dear All,
    I have downloaded a patch (PHSS_37042) for HP-UX v3 for Oracle Database 11g r2. This patch is in text format instead of a tar. Kindly guide me how could I able to install this patch because there is no installation instruction available on the patch. (File attached)
    Regards,

    Its inside ur txt file (:
    Pretty simple
    1. Back up your system before installing a patch.
    2. Login as root.
    3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.
    4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:
    cd /tmp
    sh PHSS_37042
    5. Run swinstall to install the patch:
    swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
    -s /tmp/PHSS_37042.depot
    By default swinstall will archive the original software in
    /var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_37042. If you do not wish to retain a
    copy of the original software, include the patch_save_files
    option in the swinstall command above:
    -x patch_save_files=false
    WARNING: If patch_save_files is false when a patch is installed,
    the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful
    when using this feature.
    For future reference, the contents of the PHSS_37042.text file is
    available in the product readme:
    swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_37042.depot

  • GPIB-232CT-A Installation Help Needed

    I work in our company's Calibration Lab. We calibrate a lot of our instruments via GPIB using Fluke's MetCal software.
    We have some instruments that have either GPIB or RS232 comm ports, but not both.
    We would like to be able to use the MetCal software to calibrate these RS232 instruments as well as the GPIB units.
    We recently purchased a GPIB-232CT-A, because NI's sales rep said it would work for this application.
    I have spent quite a few hours trying to get this GPIB-232CT-A to interface between the GPIB computer and the RS232 instrument....to no avail.
    Any "Tech Tips" out there???
    I would have liked to have been able to take with someone at NI but, it from what I can see on the website, phone assistance with purchased products comes at a premium.

    Hello,
    The GPIB-232CT-A is basically a string repeater from one interface to another (depending on the mode it's in). Here are two great documents which should give you all the information you need:

  • Weblogic Express | Installation help needed

    I have to install Weblogic Express. As mentioned in the http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/faq/wlx.html#939948, I followed the link
    http://commerce.bea.com/downloads/weblogic_express.jsp for installing the trial version of Weblogic Express but it takes me to the link for installing Weblogic Server/Express. I chose to download
    "WebLogic Server/Express 8.1 with SP3" but that installed Weblogic Server and other Weblogic features other than Weblogic Express.
    My question is that how can I install Weblogic Express and where can I find a good documentation for the same as I am finding it hard to find?
    Also I want to know that can Weblogic Express be integrated with JCA feature?
    Please Help.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Gaurish.

    Where can I get the weblogic express license? Does it come with the 8.1 SP4 evaluation download? Under WEBLOGIC_HOME, i only see license.bea and license_scale_limited.bea, none of which mentions anything about Express. Thanks!

  • OS X installation: help needed

    This week Yahoo changed their browswer requirements, forcing me to upgrade my Safari from 1.0.3 to 2.0. I found the Apple online download for that and was computer-notified that I need at least OSX 10.4.2 to be able to use Safari 2.0. I currently am running OSX 10.2.8. I found the download for 10.4.7 PPC at Apple and made a partial installation until the dreaded "This computer will not support this software" came up. I went back and found OSX 10.4.2 on page 6 and loaded this earlier version and the same thing happened. According to the specs listed, there shouldn't be a problem with "Latest Firmware". Upgrading to the latest G5 Intel is not an option.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Teacher Tom! And Welcome To Discussions!
    Joaquim, Axl & JMVP have posted excellent advice[..snip..].
    But if you do choose to upgrade to Tiger,
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    A Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    More info here Tip: Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    Once Tiger is installed, you can use the e 10.4.7 Combo Update, to upgrade to the most current version.
    Tiger System Requirements
    Additionally,
    "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
    Download The order Form Here. Media Exchange Program
    Shop Carefully, Examine All Documention, And Good Luck!

  • New Installation Help Needed - Connection Timeout

    New to the home and Verizon service from a combination modem/router. In Airport Utility, chose to connect to a wireless network and add AE in order to extend my current network (the issue is distance to an important computer). The utility seems to run okay and there is a green light at the end of the routine. I have tried every combination available and either continue to get the Connection Timeout or cannot see the network at all.
    Any suggestions?
    I tried adding in my old Linksys router and while the network name appears an error message is always given that the user is not connected to the internet.

    josephchatham, Welcome to the discussion area!
    To extend the wireless network created by the Verizon base station you will need to connect the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet. The AX can not wirelessly extend the network created by that base station.
