CPU & Power Supply Fan Connectors (3-pin FanPWR)
These connectors support cooling fans of 500mAMP (6 watts) or less.
Position the fans so that the heat-sink fins allow the airflow to go across the
onboard heat-sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan
manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be
positive, while the black one should be grounded. Connect the fan's plug to
the board, taking into consideration the polarity of this connector.
The CPU and motherboard will overheat if there the hot air
generated by the CPU does not flow across the onboard heat-
sinks, and the CPU fan and motherboard can be damaged if these
pins are used improperly.
2.3-4 Installing the Motherboard
Your
BS61M
series
motherboard complies with ATX board specifications,
which means the board may be installed into a full-sized ATX case. Some of
the motherboard's features require connections from the motherboard to
indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all
the features included with the motherboard. Your
BS61M
series
motherboard
can support one or two floppy disk drives and four enhanced IDE drives.
Ensure that your case has sufficient power and space for all the drives that
you intend to install.
!
Caution:
Make sure you have already installed system board
components such as the CPU and memory modules, and that have set the
appropriate jumpers before you proceed.
The "rotation" signal is to be used only by a specially designed fan with a
rotation signal.
