The six serial ATA connectors (SATA1-6) is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector can
connect to one Serial ATA device.
IMPORTANT:
Please do not fold the Serial ATA cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data loss may occur
during transmission.
Fan Power Connectors
The fan power connectors (CPUFAN and SYSFAN1-5) support system cooling fan with +12V. When
connecting the wire to the connectors, always 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.
IMPORTANT:
CPUFAN supports fan control. You can install Dual Core Center utility that will automatically
control the fan speed according to the actual CPU and system temperature. Fan/heat sink with 3
or 4 pins are both available for CPUFAN.

the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record this status and show a warning
message on the screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the CMOS setup utility and clear the record.
