7.2. CPU / System Fan Wafer (FAN1 & FAN2)
The CPU Fan Wafer (FAN1) is used for the connection of the Fan for the CPU. The System Fan Wafer (FAN2) can be
used to power, control and monitor a fan for chassis ventilation etc.
The 4-pin wafer is recommended to be used for driving 4-wire type FAN in order to implement FAN speed control. 3-
wire Fan support is also possible, but no fan speed control is integrated.
