Fan Headers

The PDSM4+/PDSME+ has ﬁ ve chasis/

system fan headers (Fan1 to Fan5) and

one CPU Fan (CPU Fan6). (*Note: all

these fans are 4-pin fans. However, Pins

1-3 of the fan headers are backward com-

patible with the traditional 3-pin fans.) See

the table on the right for pin deﬁ nitions.

(*The onboard fan speeds are controlled

by Thermal Management via BIOS Hard-

ware Monitor in the Advanced Setting

Note: Default: Disabled, When using

Thermal Management setting, please use

all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans on the moth-

erboard. Please do not use 3-pin fans and

4-pin fans on the same board.)
