3/4)CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN(FanHeaders)
All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.
Whenconnectingafancable,besuretoconnectitinthecorrectorientation(theblackconnectorwire
isthegroundwire).ThemotherboardsupportsAPUfanspeedcontrol,whichrequirestheuseofaAPU
fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be
installed inside the chassis.
• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your APU and system from
overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the APU or the system may hang.
• Thesefanheadersarenotcongurationjumperblocks.Donotplaceajumpercapontheheaders.

5) SATA30/1/2/3/4/5/6/7(SATA6Gb/sConnectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD A85X Chipset supports
RAID0,RAID1,RAID5,RAID10,andJBOD.RefertoChapter4,"ConguringSATAHardDrive(s),"for
instructionsonconguringaRAIDarray.
• ARAID0orRAID1congurationrequiresatleasttwoharddrives.Ifmorethantwoharddrives
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• ARAID5congurationrequiresatleastthreeharddrives.(Thetotalnumberofharddrivesdoes
nothavetobeanevennumber.)
• ARAID10congurationrequiresfourharddrives.
