Cooling Fan Connectors

These fan connectors are used to connect cooling fans. The cooling fans will provide adequate

airflow throughout the chassis to prevent overheating the CPU and system board components.

BIOS Setting

The Advanced menu (“PC Health Status” submenu) of the BIOS will display the current speed

of the cooling fans. Refer to chapter 3 for more information.

Power Connectors

Use a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 1.1.

An ATX12V power supply unit has a standard 24-pin ATX main power connector that must be

inserted into the 24-pin connector. The 8-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of

more +12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module (VRM).

The power connectors from the power supply unit are designed to fit the 24-pin and 8-pin

connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to find the proper orientation before plugging

the connectors.

The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply to operate. Your system

configuration (CPU power, amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the

minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we strongly recom-

mend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or greater) power supply.

Important:

Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the add-in boards

and peripherals not functioning properly. Calculating the system’s approximate power

usage is important to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s consumption

requirements.
