The VIA C3
™
E-Series Processor
With low power consumption and advanced thermal dissipation properties,
the embedded VIA C3™ E-Series requires only a small fan to guarantee
performance and reliability. Ensure that the CPU Fan Connector is correctly
installed, as displayed below.
The VIA EPIA-M Mini-ITX Mainboard includes an embedded VIA Eden Proc-
essor or VIA C3™ E-Series Processor. The CPUFAN (CPU fan) and SYSFAN
(system fan) run on +12V and maintain system cooling. When connecting
the wire to the connectors, always be aware 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. Both CPU and System fan connectors have sensors to
detect fan speed, but the power fan does not have sensor. FAN3 is an addi-
tional FAN connector.
