Connector
Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When con-
necting 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 motherboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset
onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advan-
tage of the CPU fan control.
