Power Supply 3-Pin Fan Signal Connector

A three-pin fan signal connector with blue and black wires is available to connect the power supply to one of your motherboard’s fan connectors (Note: Some motherboards have a dedicated fan connector labeled PWR_FAN or PSU_FAN that is specifically for the power supply). This connector is for monitoring the power supply’s fan speed only. It is optional. The power supply and its fan will operate normally whether this cable is connected to your motherboard or not.

The fan speed can be monitored through the BIOS or special monitoring software that came with your motherboard. To ensure proper monitoring of the power supply fan, please check your motherboard manual.

Note: At low temperatures, the fan may run as slow as 750 RPM (±10%). At these speeds, some motherboards may not properly detect the fan speed and may generate false warnings of fan failure.

Connecting the USB Ports

You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front USB ports. This is an Intel® standard connector that is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally reversed when connected to a proper Intel® standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to the motherboard headers so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.

Note: Please check the motherboard manual for the USB header pin layout and make sure it matches the table below. If it does not match this Intel® standard, please visit Antec’s web store at http://www.antec.com/StoreFront.bok and search for part number 30095 to order a USB Internal Adapter Cable. This adapter will allow you to connect the front USB to your motherboard on a pin-by-pin basis.

Connecting the IEEE 1394 (FireWire®, i.Link®) Port

You will find a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front IEEE 1394 connection. This is an Intel® standard connector that is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally reversed when connected to a proper Intel® standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to the motherboard header so that the blocked pin fits over the missing header pin.
