Chapter 2: Hardware information

8.. CPU,.power.and.chassis.fan.connectors.(4-pin.CPU_FAN,.3-pin.PWR_

FAN,.3-pin.CHA_FAN)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W max.) or

a total of 1 A ~ 3.48 A (41.76 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.

Only the CPU_FAN and CHA_FAN connector support the ASUS Q-Fan feature.

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!

9.. Chassis.intrusion.connector.(4-1.pin.CHASSIS)

This connector is for a chassis-mounted intrusion detection sensor or switch.

Connect one end of the chassis intrusion sensor or switch cable to this

connector. The chassis intrusion sensor or switch sends a high-level signal to

this connector when a chassis component is removed or replaced. The signal

is then generated as a chassis intrusion event.
By default, the pins labeled “Chassis Signal” and “GND” are shorted with

a jumper cap. Remove the jumper caps only when you intend to use the

chassis intrusion detection feature.
