Fan Headers
The PDSMU has six fan headers, des-
ignated Fan1 through Fan6. All are
4-pin fans to provide a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) signal, however
pins 1-3 of the headers are backward
compatible with traditional 3-pin fans.
Connect the CPU heatsink fan and
the system (chassis) fans to these
headers. Their speed is controlled via
Thermal Management with a BIOS
setting. See the tables on the right
for pin defi nitions.
Serial Ports
The COM1 serial port is located on
the IO backplane. COM2 is a header
on the serverboard (see serverboard
layout for location). See the table on
the right for pin defi nitions.
Note: Pin 10 is included on the header but not on
the port. NC indicates no connection.
