5. CPU and Chassis Fan Connectors (3-pin CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350mA~740mA (8.88W max.) or a
total of 1A~2.22A (26.64W max.) at +12V. Connect the fan cables to the fan
connectors on the motherboard, making sure 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. Lack of sufficient
air flow within the system may damage the motherboard components. These
are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan connectors!
6. GAME/MIDI connector (16-1 pin GAME1)
This connector supports a GAME/MIDI module. Connect an optional
GAME/MIDI cable to this connector. The GAME/MIDI port on the module
connects a joystick or a game pad for playing games, and MIDI devices for
playing or editing audio files.
