3/4/5) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/PWR_FAN (Fan Headers) The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 4-pin (SYS_FAN2) and a 3-pin (SYS_FAN1) system fan headers, and a 3-pin power fan header (PWR_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 dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

The types of floppy disk drives supported are: 360 KB, 720 KB, 1.2 MB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB. Before connecting a floppy disk drive, be sure to locate pin 1 of the connector and the floppy disk drive cable. The pin 1 of the cable is typically designated by a stripe of different color. 33 1 34 2 - 25 - Hardware Installation

The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 4-pin (SYS_FAN2) and a 3-pin (SYS_FAN1)

system fan headers, and a 3-pin power fan header (PWR_FAN). Most fan headers possess a foolproof

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 dissipation, 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 over-

heating. Overheating 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.
