Overheat/Fan Fail LED (JOH1)

The JOH1 header is used to connect an LED to provide warnings of chas- sis overheat. This LED will also blink to indicate a fan failure. Refer to the table on right for pin defi nitions.

Chassis Intrusion

A Chassis Intrusion header is located at JL1 on the motherboard. Attach the appropriate cable from the chassis to inform you of a chassis intrusion when the chassis is opened.
