Chapter 4: Motherboard Connections
4.2 Headers and Connectors
The data cables in the system have been carefully routed to maintain airflow efficiency. If you
disconnect any of these cables, take care to re-route them as they were originally.
Important!
Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Fan Headers
There are eight fan headers on the motherboard. These are 4-pin fan headers; pins 1-3 are
backward compatible with traditional 3-pin fans. The onboard fan speeds are controlled using
IPMI. When using the Fan Mode setting, use only 4-pin fans.
