7. System fan connectors (8-pin FRNT_FAN1-4; 6-pin REAR_FAN1-2) The 8-pin FRNT_FAN connectors are connected to the Fan board and supports 9A per pin for the +12V pins. The 6-pin REAR_FAN connectors support 3A per pin for the +12V pins. Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, making sure that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector. 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! 8. TPM connector (14-1 pin TPM1) 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. 4-16 Chapter 4: Motherboard Information
