2. Finger-tighten the bolts to prevent the radiator and fans from falling.
3. Repeat this process for all the fans, ensuring they are securely fastened.
4. Use a screwdriver to tighten all the corners for a snug fit.

Connecting the PWN and Lighting Cables

Now that the radiator and fans are properly mounted, it's time to connect the necessary cables. Follow these steps:

1. Feed the fan cables through to the backside of your system for better cable management.
2. Connect the fan cables to the PWN connector labeled "fan" on the Pump top.
3. Connect the lighting cables to the LED connector labeled "LED" on the pump top.
4. Make sure all the connections are secure and properly aligned.

That's it! You have successfully installed the Auris Liquid Cool 240 on your AMD AM4-based system. The next step is to configure the software and customize the lighting options to your preference.
