Connection Options
There are three options for connecting the fan of the PC to the CPU 41x-2 PCI (X3,
X4, or X5) - depending on the connector type. Together, the X3, X4 and X5
connections provide a maximum of 500 mA at 12 V. The current for the fan is
supplied from the PC motherboard or, if the PC is switched off, from the optional
external 24 VDC supply.
The X2 to X5 terminals are located on the smaller of the two printed circuit boards.
The terminals have the following meaning:
