The CPU fan connector supports a cooling fan of 350mA ~ 2000mA (24W max.).
Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard, ensuring
that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

inside the system may damage the motherboard components. It is not a jumper! DO NOT
place a jumper cap on the CPU fan connector!
