CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, CHA_FAN1/2)
Connectthefancablestothefanconnectorsonthemotherboard,ensuringthatthe
blackwireofeachcablematchesthegroundpinoftheconnector.
Donotforgettoconnectthefancablestothefanconnectors.Insufcientairow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1A(12W)fanpower.
RGB header (4-pin RGB_HEADER)
ThisheaderisforRGBLEDstrips.
TheRGBheadersupports5050RGBmulti-colorLEDstrips(12V/G/R/B),witha
maximumpowerratingof3A(12V),andnolongerthan3m.
Beforeyouinstallorremoveanycomponent,ensurethattheATXpowersupplyis
switchedofforthepowercordisdetachedfromthepowersupply.Failuretodosomay
causeseveredamagetothemotherboard,peripherals,orcomponents.
• ActuallightingandcolorwillvarywithLEDstrip.
• IfyourLEDstripdoesnotlightup,checkiftheRGBLEDextensioncableandthe
RGBLEDstripisconnectedinthecorrectorientation,andthe12Vconnectoris
alignedwiththe12Vheaderonthemotherboard.
• TheLEDstripwillonlylightupwhenthesystemisoperating.
• TheLEDstripsarepurchasedseparately.

ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V)
TheseconnectorsareforATXpowersupplyplugs.Thepowersupplyplugsare
designedtottheseconnectorsinonlyoneorientation.Findtheproperorientation
andpushdownrmlyuntiltheconnectorscompletelyt.
• Forafullyconguredsystem,werecommendthatyouuseapowersupplyunit
(PSU)thatcomplieswithATX12VSpecication2.0(orlaterversion)andprovides
aminimumpowerof300W.ThisPSUtypehas24-pinand4-pinpowerplugs.
• DONOTforgettoconnectthe8-pinEATX+12Vpowerplug.Otherwise,thesystem
willnotbootup.
• WerecommendthatyouuseaPSUwithhigherpoweroutputwhenconguringa
systemwithmorepower-consumingdevicesorwhenyouintendtoinstalladditional
devices.Thesystemmaybecomeunstableormaynotbootupifthepoweris
