The mainboard provides connectors to connect to FDD, IDE HDD, case,
modem, LAN, USB Ports, IR module and CPU/System/Power Supply FAN.
Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1
The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that
supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types.
Fan Power Connectors: CFAN1 / SFAN1 / PFAN1 / NBFAN1
The CFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan), PFAN1 (power fan)
and NBFAN1 (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V.
It supports three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the
connectors, always take 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.

1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CFAN1 supports the fan control. You can install Core Center
utility that will automatically control the CPU fan speed ac-
cording to the actual CPU temperature.
