3/4/5) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/PWR_FAN (Fan Headers)
The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 4-pin (SYS_FAN2) and a 3-pin (SYS_FAN1)
system fan headers, and a 3-pin power fan header (PWR_FAN). 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 CPU fan speed control, which requires the
use of a CPU 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 CPU and system from overheating. Over- •
heating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

6) mSATA (Solid-State Drive Connector, Controlled by the Intel Z68 Chipset)
The mSATA connector conforms to SATA 3Gb/s standard and can connect to a single solid-state drive.
When the mSATA connector is installed with a solid-state drive, the SATA2_5 connector will become
unavailable.
