How do I power the pump for the o11 distro plate?

Question

I bought the O11 distroplate from microcenter and the pump only has a 4 pin pwm connector.  How would I power this pump to test without plugging it into my motherboard?

Dear Sabashio,

You can connect the pump and the PSU with our pump switch 24-pin bypass connector. (BPTA-PSC-SOC)
Here is the link and video.

Answer 2

To power the pump on your O11 distro plate without using your motherboard, you can connect the 4-pin PWM connector to a dedicated fan or pump header on a fan controller or use a 12V DC power supply with a 4-pin PWM adapter. Another simple option is to use a powered fan hub that connects directly to your power supply through a SATA or Molex connector. Just make sure the hub supports PWM and 12V output, so the pump runs safely and at full power for testing.
