SUPER P4SCT/P4SCT+/P4SCT+II User's Manual

Serial Ports

Two serial ports are included on the motherboard: COM1(J9) is a port located beside the mouse/ keyboard ports and COM2(J10) is a header located on the mother- board near J20 (Power Connec- tor). See the table on the right for pin definitions.

*NC indicates no connection.

Fan Headers

There are six fan headers on the P4SCT/P4SCT+/P4SCT+II, which are designated CPU/Chassis Fan1, CH Fan 2, CH Fan 3, CH Fan 4, and Over Heat Fan/CH Fan 5. (Chassis Fan 4 and Chassis Fan 5 are not monitored by BIOS.) Con- nect the fan on your CPU heatsink to the CPU/CH Fan1 header. See the table on the right for pin defini- tions.
