Hardware Installation
The TMS interface card can be installed into a PCI or PCI-Express slot (with the included L-bracket), or mounted into a 5.25” bay (using the included tray). All communication occurs via an external or internal USB port, even when installed into a motherboard slot. The TMS hardware board is powered by a direct 12V power supply connection.
First, power-down the computer and connect all necessary wires to the TMS card. DO NOT CONNECT THE USB CABLE TO THE COMPUTER. The internal or external USB cable will be connected to the computer after software installation. If needed, extension wires for fans and the pump are included with the TMS board.

**ATX pass-through wire: enables the hardware safety shutdown feature. Connect the
male ATX power lead from theTMS board to the computer chassis main power switch.
Connect the other female A TX power lead to the motherboard’s power switch connection (often marked “PWRSW”, “PWSW”, or “PWBT”).
This is the connection that would normally receive the chassis power switch lead directly.

Expansion Board Installation
If you have purchased the optional daughter expansion board for TMS-200, please read this section. Otherwise, skip to “Mounting” below.
Connect all necessary wires to the TMS expansion board. If needed, extension wires for fans and the pump are included with the board.
The expansion board includes a standoff and two screws. Attach the standoff to the top side of the TMS main board in the hole near the dummy slot.
Make sure the connecting pins are aligned properly, and carefully insert the expansion board into the TMS main board.

The expansion board’s fan and temperature connections should face in the same direction as the TMS main board connections. DO NOT INSTALL IT BACKWARDS!
CAUTION: The TMS expansion board must be aligned properly (top fan connectors
in the same direction as the main board fan connectors). Otherwise, permanent
!
hardware damage could result.
Finally, install the second screw to secure the expansion board to the standoff.
Mounting
Decide whether the TMS card will use the L-bracket (motherboard slot installation) or 5.25” tray (drive bay installation) and mount the appropriate piece with the included screws. To help avoid physical damage, it is suggested to attach all necessary cables to the TMS hardware before mounting the TMS board.
If the TMS-200 hardware board will be installed into an available motherboard slot, attach the included I/O L-bracket with the smaller supplied screws.
NOTE: If using the optional expansion board with TMS-200, the TMS hardware card will require two motherboard slots instead of one.
If the hardware board will be installed into an available 5.25” bay, attach the included metal tray with the larger supplied screws.
