Power Fail and Alarm Reset
Header
Connect a cable from your power sup-
ply to the JP10 header to provide you
with warning of a power supply failure.
The warning signal is passed through
the PWR_LED pin to indicate a power
failure. See the table on the right for
pin defi nitions.
Fan Headers
The H8DA8/H8DAE has eight fan
headers (FAN1-FAN8) and the
H8DAR-8/H8DAR-i has fi ve fan head-
ers (FAN1-FAN5). Fan speed is con-
trolled with a BIOS setting. See the
table on the right for pin defi nitions.
Note: the H8DAR-8 and H8DAR-i
have 3-pin fan headers. Pin 4 on
the table is not included on these
headers.
JLAN1/2 (Ethernet Ports)
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports (desig-
nated JLAN1 and JLAN2) are located
beside the VGA port. These ports
accept RJ45 type cables.
