3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN (Fan Headers) The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 4-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 dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis. 1 CPU_FAN CPU_FAN: Pin No. Definition 1 GND 2 +12V /Speed Control 3 Sense 4 Speed Control 1 SYS_FAN SYS_FAN: Pin No. Definition 1 GND 2 +12V /Speed Control 3 Sense 4 Reserve •• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from overheating.

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.

BAT (Battery)
The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS configurations, date, and time information)
in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a
low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.
You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery:
Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord.
1.
Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one
2.
minute. (Or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the positive
and negative terminals of the battery holder, making them short for 5
seconds.)
Replace the battery.
3.
Plug in the power cord and restart your computer.
4.
Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.
•
Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with
•
an incorrect model.
Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by your-
•
self or uncertain about the battery model.
When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-)
•
of the battery (the positive side should face up).
Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.
