Updating the BIOS Installing the Processor Fan Heatsink The Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP has mounting holes for a processor fan heatsink. For instructions on how to attach the processor fan heatsink to the board, refer to the boxed processor manual or boxed thermal solution manual. Connecting the Processor Fan Heatsink Cable Connect the processor fan heatsink cable to the 4-pin processor fan header (Figure 13). A fan with a 4-pin connector as shown in Figure 13, A is recommended; however, you can also use a fan with a 3-pin connector (Figure 13, B). However, since the fan with a 3-pin connector cannot use the onboard fan control, the fan will always operate at full speed. Figure 13.

Installing the Processor Fan Heatsink
The Intel
®
Workstation Board WX58BP has mounting holes for a processor fan
heatsink.
For instructions on how to attach the processor fan heatsink to the board,
refer to the boxed processor manual or boxed thermal solution manual.
Connecting the Processor Fan Heatsink Cable
Connect the processor fan heatsink cable to the 4-pin processor fan header (Figure
13). A fan with a 4-pin connector as shown in Figure 13, A is recommended; however,
you can also use a fan with a 3-pin connector (Figure 13, B). However, since the fan
with a 3-pin connector cannot use the onboard fan control, the fan will always operate
at full speed.
