ASUS P5K PRO

2-29

6. CPU, chassis and power fan connectors

(4-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin CHA_FAN1-2, 3-pin PWR_FAN)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W max.)

or a total of 1 A ~ 7 A (84 W max.) at +12V. Connect the fan cables to the

fan connectors on the motherboard, making sure that the black wire of each

cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

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!

• Only the CPU-FAN and CHA-FAN 1-2 connectors support the ASUS

Q-Fan 2 feature.

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

fan cable to the motherboard connector labled CHA_FAN1 or CHA_FAN2

for better themal environment.

Never connect a USB cable to the IEEE 1394a connector. Doing so will damage

the motherboard!

You can attach a FireWire/1394 cable to this connector if your chassis suppots

the front panel IEEE1394 port. Connect the 1394 cable to ASUS Q-Connector

(1394, red) first, and then install the Q-Connector (1394) to the 1394 connector

onboard.

The IEEE 1394a module cable is purchased separately.
