If it's the Aquacomputer USB D5 Pump then it needs to be powered with a 12v Molex connection & you'll need to have it connected also by the USB, So... Just connect Via the Molex & USB first (do not connect it via the Aquabus yet) to begin with to check it has the most upto date firmware & I would set the "Control Priority" to USB.. Although really I think it should run even if it's just connected to the Molex alone, It should run at it's factory set Default speed. So maybe try that first just to make sure the pump is running/working?.

If you have the pump connected via the aquabus & have not set up a "Controller" setting for it from the Aquasuite main menu it doesn't know how or when to run.

If it won't run when connected with just the Molex connection then it does sound like the pump may be faulty....

Have a look HERE I've done a review & set up guide for the D5, It may help ....

Good luck

The D5 USB runs whenever it is getting 12V from the 4 pin molex plug. It can't be turned off by USB and the USB does not need to be connected for it to work.

All the software control does is change the speed from the minimum 1800RPM to the max 4800RPM ... the same as any D5 Vario

Which is what I pointed out ... I only mentioned the Aquabus & USB side of things as I didn't know whether the OP was having difficulty see'ing the pump in aquasuite not working as he didn't say & I was trying to cover a couple of options to him depending on how he was trying the pump..

Centrifugal pumps like the D5 don't need to be running at the same speed when they are running in a serial connection. The flow rate is the same if the first is running at minimum speed and and the second at full speed or if the first is at full speed and the second at minimum speed.
The flow rate through a loop is always much lower than the pump is capable of running with no restriction ... as a result the pump is still spinning faster then the water going through it even at low speed.

An Aquacomputer D5 is exactly the same as any other D5 Vario or even a D5 basic. The circuit board inside is the same. As a result nearly any D5 can be converted to USB control. all you need is the MPS control board and some basic soldering skills.
I created a guide here.

jakusonfire can you post a link to the MPS control board because i cant find it on the Aqua web store i would be very interested in doing the upgrade as you showed it
