Chapter 2: Hardware information

7. CPU, chassis, power, and chipset fan connectors

(4-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin CHA_FAN1, 3-pin CHA_FAN2, 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!

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

the motherboard!

You can connect the 1394 cable to ASUS Q-Connector (1394, red) first, and

then install the Q-Connector (1394) to the 1394 connector onboard.
