DO NOT forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside
the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! DO NOT
place jumper caps on the fan connectors.
• The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan of maximum 2A (24W) fan power.
• Only the 4-pin CPU_FAN and chassis fan support the ASUS Fan Xpert2 feature.
2. Chassis intrusion connector (4-1 pin CHASSIS)
This connector is for a chassis-mounted intrusion detection sensor or switch. Connect
one end of the chassis intrusion sensor or switch cable to this connector. The chassis
intrusion sensor or switch sends a high-level signal to this connector when a chassis
component is removed or replaced. The signal is then generated as a chassis intrusion
event.
By default, the pins labeled "Intruder" are shorted with a jumper cap. Remove the
jumper caps only when you intend to use the chassis intrusion detection feature.
