An illustrated guide to installing the Corsair Airflow Pro Dynamic Memory
Display unit using compatible Corsair DHX Pro equipped modules.

How To Install the Corsair Airflow Pro
Airflow Pro Introduction
The Corsair® AirFlow Pro™ mounts above the Corsair AirFlow 2 fan, and connects to
any Dominator® memory that supports DHX Pro technology to provide a dynamic
display of memory activity and temperature for up to six modules.
Corsair's signature LED peak meters are used to reflect memory activity by DIMM and
memory rank. In addition, LEDs in the center of the display adjust their color based
on the measured temperature of the DIMM. The Corsair Airflow PRO adds function
and flash to any build.
Features:
 RGB Temperature Monitoring LEDs
 Activity LEDs with support for up to six modules
 Easily installs on top of Corsair Airflow 2 fan
Requirements:
 Dominator Memory with DHX Pro technology (DOMINATOR Modules with part
numbers starting with CMP and CMT)
Corsair Airflow 2 fan SKU # CMXAF2

How To Install the Corsair Airflow Pro
1 Attach the Fan Clips
The fan clips for the Corsair Airflow fan attach
to each end of the fan body with 4 thumb
screws as shown to the right. Note the hole in
the fan clip. It is referenced in steps 2 and 3.
You will need to replace 1 set of the thumb screws with the new screws included
in your Airflow Pro mounting hardware. See the illustration below. The new Air-
flow Pro screws are hollow and threaded as seen on the left. The stock screws are
solid knurled thumb screws seen on the right. Be sure to use the included washers
on both sets of screws.

2 The Pro Modules and Connectors
The Airflow Pro unit is compatible with
Dominator Memory with DHX Pro technol-
ogy; DOMINATOR Modules with part num-
bers starting with CMP and CMT. The con-
nector is pictured left.
The best method we have
found is to install the individual
ribbon signal cable to each
module, as seen circled in red
here. Then install the modules
to the appropriate slots on
your motherboard. The cables
can then easily be routed up
through the hole in the fan clip
and then connected to the Air-
flow Pro unit.

3 Signal Cables and the Airflow Pro Unit
Once the cables are installed to each
module, you can then mount the cooling
fan. The cables can be routed through the
end of the fan, through the hole in the fan
clip, as seen here.
Then, invert the Airflow Pro
unit and attach the ribbon ca-
bles to any of the 6 ribbon ca-
ble connectors indicated by
the red arrow. Also, attach the
power connector, circled in
red.

4 Attach the Airflow Pro to the Fan Body
The body of the Airflow Pro unit will snap into place at the top of the memory
modules, as seen below illustrated by the large red circles. The bottom portion
has 2 mounting holes, shown inside the small red circles. Use your 2 remaining
knurled thumb screws to attach the Airflow Pro to the 2 bottom hollow screws
that hold the bottom retention clip. You will now also need to connect the power
connector for the unit to an available 4-pin molex power connector. After this
connection is made, your Airflow Pro unit is fully installed and ready to use.
