Fan Headers
There are seven 4-pin fan headers (FAN1 ~ FAN7) on the motherboard.
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 the Thermal Management via the IPMI 2.0 interface. Refer
to the table below for pin definitions.
