12. Addressable Gen2 header
The Addressable Gen2 header allows you to connect individually addressable RGB
WS2812B LED strips or WS2812B based LED strips.
The Addressable Gen2 header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED strips (5V/
Data/Ground), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), and the addressable headers on
this board can handle a combined maximum of 500 LEDs.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off
or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
• Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
• If your LED strip does not light up, check if the addressable RGB LED strip is
connected in the correct orientation, and the 5V connector is aligned with the 5V
header on the motherboard.
• The addressable RGB LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.
• The addressable RGB LED strip is purchased separately.
