MS-7246 Mainboard Connectors The mainboard provides connectors to connect to FDD, IDE HDD, case, LAN, and USB Ports. Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. FD D (black) Fan Power Connectors: CPU_FAN / SYS_FAN / PWR_FAN / NB_FAN The CPU_FAN (processor fan), SYS_FAN (system fan), PW R_FAN (power fan ) and NB_FAN (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. The CPU_FAN supports four/three-pin head connector. The others support three-pin head connector. W hen connecting the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

Fan Power Connectors: CPU_FAN / SYS_FAN / PWR_FAN / NB_FAN
The CPU_FAN (processor fan), SYS_FAN (system fan), PWR_FAN (power fan
) and NB_FAN (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. The
CPU_FAN supports four/three-pin head connector. The others support three-pin head
