6) CPU_OPT(WaterCoolingCPUFanHeader)
The fan header is 4-pin and possesses 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.

• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 conguration 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 conguration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does
not have to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 conguration requires four hard drives.
