NMI Button

The non-maskable interrupt button header is located on pins 19 and 20 of JF1. Refer to the table on the right for pin definitions.

Fan Headers

There are six fan headers on the serverboard, all of which are 4-pin fans (pins 1-3 are backward compat- ible with traditional 3-pin fans). See the table on the right for pin defini- tions. The onboard fan speeds are controlled by Thermal Management (via Hardware Monitoring) under the Advanced Section in the BIOS. The default is disabled. Please use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans.

ATX PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Ports

The ATX PS/2 keyboard and the PS/2 mouse are located beside the USB0/1 ports. The mouse port is above the keyboard port. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
