6. CPU, chassis, and power fan connectors

(4-pin CPU_FAN; 4-pin CHA_FAN1/2/3; 3-pin PWR_FAN)
Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring

that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

• The CPU_FAN connector supports the CPU fan of maximum 2A (24 W) fan

power.

• If you install two VGA cards, we recommend that you plug the rear chassis

fan cable to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2,

CHA_FAN3 for better thermal environment.

Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air

flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are

not jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan connectors!
