Hardware Installation
• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from overheat-
ing. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.
• Thesefanheadersarenotcongurationjumperblocks.Donotplaceajumpercapontheheaders.
3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/SYS_FAN3 (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speedcontrolfunctionrequirestheuseofafanwithfanspeedcontroldesign.For
optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

tions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.
