This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector can con-
nect to one Serial ATA device.
Important
Please do not fold the Serial ATA cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data
loss may occur during transmission.
Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1/ SYSFAN1/ SYSFAN2 / SYSFAN3
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting
the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should
be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND.
If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
