13.CPU, Front, and Rear fan connectors(3-pin CPU_FAN1/2, FRONT_FAN1/2, REAR_FAN1/2)

The fan connectors on this motherboard support various server configurations. Use the rear fan connectors if you intend to install the motherboard in a tower/pedestal chassis. Use the front fan connectors when using a rackmount configuration.

The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 740 mA (8.88 W max.) or a total of 1 A ~ 2.22 A (26.64 W max.) at +12 V. 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.
