CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin CHA_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! The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan
of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.
ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V)
Correctly orient the ATX power supply plugs into these connectors and push down
firmly until the connectors completely fit.
•
For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit
(PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides
a minimum power of 350 W.
•
We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional
devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is
inadequate.
•
If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,
refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support.

RGB header
This header is for RGB LED strip.
The RGB header supports 5050 RGB multi-color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a
maximum power rating of 3A (12V), and no longer than 3 m.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
•
Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
•
If your LED strip does not light up, check if the RGB LED extension cable and the
RGB LED strip is connected in the correct orientation, and the 12V connector is
aligned with the 12V header on the motherboard.
•
The LED strip will only light up when the system is operating.
•
The LED strips are purchased separately.
