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 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.

Installing the Motherboard
The
BVD2A
motherboard complies with the specifications for an ATX board,
so you can also install this kind of board into a full-size ATX case. Some
features on the motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the
motherboard to indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your
case supports all the features required. The
BVD2A
motherboard can support
one or two floppy diskette 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 that you have already installed the system
board components like the CPU and memory, and 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.
