6. CPU, CPU optional, water pump, chassis, and high amp fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin CPU_OPT, 4-pin W_PUMP, 4-pin CHA_FAN1-2, 4-pin H_AMP_ FAN) Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring 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! • Ensure that the CPU fan cable is securely installed to the CPU fan connector. • The CPU_FAN connector supports the CPU fan of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power. • The CPU_FAN and CHA_FAN connectors support the ASUS FAN Xpert 4 feature on X99 platform. • The CPU fan connector detects the type of CPU fan installed and automatically switches the control modes. To configure the CPU fan's control mode, go to Advanced Mode > Monitor > CPU Q-Fan Control item in BIOS. • The chassis fan connectors support DC and PWM modes. To set these fans to DC or PWM, go to Advanced Mode > Monitor > Chassis Fan 1/2 Q-Fan Control items in BIOS. 1-28 Chapter 1: Product Introduction Chapter 1
