The ASH-S1 draws its power over SATA, so a free connector has to exist before the hub can be used. Most supplies provide several per lead. Counting what is genuinely free, rather than what looks used, is the check worth making early.
Nine PWM ports and nine addressable ports mean nothing if the hub itself never gets powered, and the ASH-S1 draws that power from a place a lot of builders forget to check ahead of time. SATA is the connection it needs, and confirming one is free belongs on the wiring plan before the case goes back together.
The ASH-S1 draws power over a SATA connection from the power supply rather than a motherboard header, since running nine fans and up to 377 LEDs is more than a board header is built to supply. At R349, confirming a spare SATA connector exists on the build's power cabling is worth doing before the hub is mounted, not after.
A motherboard fan header is designed for a couple of fans, not nine PWM ports plus a full addressable lighting bank. Drawing that load through a board header would be asking more of it than it is rated for, which is why the ASH-S1 takes its power directly from the power supply over a SATA connection instead. That keeps the load off the board entirely and means the hub's own capacity is not constrained by whatever the motherboard's header circuitry can handle.
Most SATA power leads carry three or four connector positions spaced along their length, so a lead already feeding a drive or two often has a spare position further along it rather than needing its own dedicated lead. Worth tracing the leads already in the build and counting what is actually free, rather than assuming based on how full the cable routing looks. A modular power supply's accessory box is the other place to check - an unused SATA lead there is often the simplest way to add a connector without disturbing existing cabling.
The SATA lead's reach becomes one of the inputs into choosing where the hub is mounted, alongside clearance for its two banks of ports and the fan and lighting cables reaching it. A magnetic mount on a steel panel gives some flexibility here, since the hub can be repositioned without undoing any fixing if the first spot puts too much strain on the SATA lead. Plan the layout with Evetech's case fan range open alongside the power cabling, and if SATA routing turns out to be a genuine constraint in your case, the NZXT fan controller is worth weighing as an option with simpler power needs.
Because it drives nine fans and up to 377 LEDs, which is more than a board header is designed to supply.
Commonly three or four along its length, so a lead already serving drives often has a spare position further along.
A modular supply may have an unused SATA lead in its accessories, which is the simplest way to add one.
Close enough that the lead reaches without tension, which is one input into choosing the mounting position.
No. It supplies power only, so the connection is purely about feeding the hub.
Connectors on one lead are independent positions, so a spare beside a drive connection works normally.

The listing gives up to 1800 RPM with no minimum stated. The bottom of the range is therefore not published for this model, which leaves the quiet end undefined. A very quiet build has to find the floor by testing.

If the only shortfall is connection count, a R349 hub is far cheaper than a new motherboard and solves the same problem. Nine ports per bank is generous. Replacing a board for headers alone rarely makes sense when a hub sits at this price.

Using Amici Pro at the rear and a brighter fan at the front gives a build two levels of lighting rather than one. The ring marks the exhaust quietly. That contrast can read better than three identical bright fans repeated across every position.
