Installing the optional fans

Install the optional fan only if you are using a passive cooler or a water cooler.

Installing the optional fan with an active CPU cooler will interfere with the airflow

and destabilize the system.

1. Position the fan above the pipe

and heatsink assembly.

2. Fit the fan to the grooved edge of

the heatsink.

3. Carefully push down the fan until

it snugly fits the heatsink, then

connect the fan cable.

4. The photo shows the fan installed

on the motherboard.

• Plug the optional fan cable to the CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2 or PWR_FAN

connector on the motherboard.

• Make sure the optional fan is installed correctly to prevent damage to the

fan and motherboard components.

• We strongly recommend that you install the optional fan when using a

passive cooler or a water cooler.
