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.
Serial Ports
The COM1 serial port is located be-
side the VGA port. COM2 is a header
on the serverboard located near the
BIOS chip (see serverboard layout for
location). See the table on the right
for pin defi nitions.
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.
Note: Pin 10 is included on the header but not on
the port. NC indicates no connection.
