HARDWARE INSTALLATION

 

 

Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN/PSFAN/SYSFAN

These connectors support system cooling fan with + 12V. It sup- ports three pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your mainboard has System Hard- ware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of this function.
