ReadyNas Ultra 6 fan header
Morning all, The system fan has been flaky for a while in one of my Ultra 6 boxes so I ordered a Noctua fan based on reading around the forum. Of course I hadn't appreciated the fan I had was 3 pin...

Of course I hadn't appreciated the fan I had was 3 pin and the Noctua one is four pin.
To avoid making any fatal mistakes in swapping the pins around on the new fan, I thought I'd check if anyone can share the header pinouts on the ultra 6.
You can just plug the fan connector into the motherboard, no need for any changes to the pins. The fan connector is keyed, so it should only fit on the correct way.
The 4th pin is for the PWM function, which you won't get (but can't get anyway with only 3 pins on the motherboard).
apologies - your reply came in whilst I was in the middle of fiddling!
Thanks for the response 🙂
