Chassis Intrusion Connector: JCI1

This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the chassis is
opened, 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 BIOS utility and clear the record.

Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1~2

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. W hen 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.
If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

Important

1. Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor

’

s official website

or consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.

2. CPUFAN1 / SYSFAN1 / SYSFAN2 supports fan control. You can adjust fan

speed in

H/W Monitor

menu of BIOS and install

Dual Core Center

utility

that will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to the actual
CPU temperature.

3. Fan cooler set with 3 or 4 pins power connector are both available for

CPUFAN.
