Fan Headers
There are four 4-pin fan headers on the motherboard: two (FAN3~FAN4) on the front plane
(see locations below), and two (FAN1~FAN2) on the HDD backplane.
All these 4-pin fan
headers are backwards compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans. However, fan speed control
is available for 4-pin fans only by Thermal Management via the BMC interface. Refer to the
table below for pin definitions.
