Fan Headers

The X7SLM-L has fi ve fan headers (Fan1

~Fan5). Fans 2~5 are system cooling fans. Fan 1 is used as a CPU fan. These fans are 4-pin fan headers. However, Pins 1~3 of the fan headers are backward compatible with the traditional 3-pin fans. (Note: Please use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans on a motherboard. Please do not use 3-pin fans and 4-pin fans on the same board. Refer to the table on the right for pin defi nitions.

Note: The speeds of 4-pin (PWM) fans are controlled by Thermal Man- agement via BIOS Hardware Moni- toring in the Advanced Setting. (The default setting is Disabled.)
