• You must install Windows® 2000 Service Pack 4 or the Windows® XP Service Pack1 before using Serial ATA hard disk drives.

•When using the connectors in standard IDE mode, you can connect the primary (boot) hard disk drive to any of the SATA connectors.

4.CPU fan connector (4-pin CPU_FAN)

The fan connector supports 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 +12V. Connect the fan cable to the fan connector on the motherboard, making sure that the cable’s black wire 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!
