Well I can tell you that lubing all the moving parts didn't do any good. Beyond that, I have no idea why it makes so much noise.

I have no idea where I found the original instructions. Too lazy to google. All I remember is that the circuit is required because when the DC detects a fan failure, it automatically powers off in 5 seconds. This circuit somehow sends a signal to the 3rd line, the communication line, and keeps the system running.
The same panic rush to pull the disc out of the drive happened to me when I first got a DC.
