15. CPU Cooling Fan Connector (FAN)
This connector supports a CPU cooling fan of 500mAMP (6WATT) or less.
Orientate the fan so that the heat sink fins allow airflow to go across the onboard
heat sink(s) instead of the expansion slots. Depending on the fan manufacturer,
the wiring and plug may be different. The red wire should be positive, while the
black should be ground. Connect the fan's plug to the board taking into consid-
eration the polarity of the this connector.
WARNING: The CPU and/or motherboard will overheat if there is no
airflow across the CPU and onboard heatsinks. Damage may occur to the
motherboard and/or the CPU fan if these pins are incorrectly used.
These are not jumpers, do not place jumper caps over these pins.

16. IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector (IR)
This connector supports the optional wireless transmitting and
receiving infrared module. This module mounts to a small opening on
system cases that support this feature. You must also configure UART 2 Use
Infrared in Chipset Features Setup to select whether UART2 is directed for use
with COM2 or IrDA. When IrDA is selected in BIOS, COM2 will be disabled.
Use the five pins as shown on the Back View and connect a ribbon cable from
the module to the motherboard according to the pin definitions.
