Hardware Installation
3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN (Fan Headers)
The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 3-pin system fan header (SYS_FAN). Most
fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in
the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan
speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dis-
sipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.
Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from overheating. Over-
heating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.
These fan headers are not configuration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the headers.

SATA2_0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by AMD SB710 South Bridge)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s standard.
Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD SB710 South Bridge supports RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 10, and JBOD. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on
configuring a RAID array.
Please connect the L-shaped end of
the SATA cable to your SATA hard
drive.

A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard
drives. If more than two hard drives are to be used, the total
number of hard drives must be an even number.
A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.
