FAN Power Connectors: SYSF1 and SYSF2 

These connectors support cooling fans of up to 350mA (4.2 Watts). Connect the fan’s plug to the 
board taking into consideration the polarity of connector.

The Q35SB is powered through 3 connectors: the PICMG1.0 edge connector, the backplane EATX1 
and ATX12V1. The edge connector provides most of the system voltages, like +12V, -12V, 5V and 
3.3V. ATX12V1 provides 12V to power the processor.
