Fan Connectors (J28 and J29)

7.2
The FAN1SYS (J28) can be used to power, control and monitor a fan for chassis ventilation etc.
The FANCPU (J29) is used for the connection of the FAN for the CPU.
The 4pin header 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.
4-pin Mode:
3-pin Mode:
Signal Description
PWM PWM output signal for FAN speed control.
TACHO Tacho input signal from the fan, for rotation speed supervision RPM (Rotation Per Minute). The
signal shall be generated by an open collector transistor or similar. Onboard is a pull-up
resistor 4K7 to +12V. The signal has to be pulsed and onboard circuit is prepared for two pulses
per rotation.
12V +12V supply for fan. A maximum of 2000mA can be supplied from this pin.
