4.4 BPN-X11OPi Connections
Fan Headers
There are 16 system/CPU fan headers (Fans 1-8_1) on reverse side of the BPN-X11OPi
midplane. All these 4-pin fans headers are backward-compatible with the traditional 3-pin
fans. However, fan speed control is available for 4-pin fans only by Thermal Management
via the IPMI 2.0 interface. See the table below for pin denitions.
