set to full or variable speed with a
BIOS setting. See the table on the
right for pin defi nitions.
Note: when using active heatsinks,
FAN4 is for CPU1, FAN3 is for CPU2,
FAN7 is for CPU3 and FAN8 is for
CPU4.
Chipset Fan Headers
Two additional fan headers, designat-
ed nFAN3 and nFAN4, are included
on the serverboard.
nFAN4 should be connected to the
