1.10.2 Internal connectors 1. Power, CPU and chassis fan connectors (3-pin PWR FAN, 4-pin CPU_FAN, and 4-pin CHA_FAN1) Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector. CPU_FAN CPU FAN PWM CPU FAN IN CPU FAN PWR GND CHA_FAN1 F1A75-M GND CHA FAN PWR CHA FAN IN CHA FAN PWM PWR_FAN F1A75-M Fan connectors GND +12V Rotation DO NOT forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan connectors. • The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan of maximum 2A (24 W) fan power. • Only the CPU_FAN and CHA_FAN1 connectors support the ASUS Fan Xpert feature. • If you install two VGA cards, we recommend that you plug the rear chassis fan cable to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1 for better thermal environment. 2. TPM connector (20-1 pin TPM) This connector supports a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) system, which can securely store keys, digital certificates, passwords, and data. A TPM system also helps enhance network security, protects digital identities, and ensures platform integrity.
