Installing the Processor Fan Heat Sink

Desktop Board D975XBX2 has an integrated processor fan heat sink retention mechanism (RM). For instructions on how to attach the processor fan heat sink to the integrated processor fan heat sink RM, refer to the boxed processor manual or the Intel World Wide Web site at:

Integration of the Boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor in the 775-Land Package

Connecting the Processor Fan Heat Sink Cable

Connect the processor fan heat sink cable to the 4-pin processor fan header (see Figure 13). A fan with a 4-pin connector as shown in Figure 13, A is recommended; however, a fan with a 3-pin connector (Figure 13, B) can be used. Since the 3-pin fan cannot use the on-board fan control, the fan will always operate at full speed.
