2.3.5 Fan Interface（CPUFAN，SYS_FAN1-3）
Board with 1x 4Pin CPUFAN and 3x 3Pin SYS_FAN port，Please pay attention to the
following two points when using the fan：
（1）Fan current ≤350 mA（4.2W，12V）
（2）Please confirm whether the fan wiring is consistent with the wiring of this socket. The
power cord (usually red) is in the middle. The other is the ground wire (usually black) and the
fan speed output pulse signal wire (other colors). Some fans do not have speed detection, but
the lead has up to 12V output, which will damage the motherboard. A fan with speed detection
is recommended.

ACPI
Advanced Configuration and Power Management. ACPI specifications allow operating
system to control most power of the computer and its add-on.
BIOS
Basic input/output system. It is software including all in/out control code interface in PC.
The software will detect hardware when it auto boot, operate OS, and provide an interface
between OS and hardware. BIOS is stored in a ROM chip.
BUS
BUS is a channel for different devices to exchange data in computer system. It is
hardware circuit. BUS here refers to partial lines inside CPU and the main components of
system memory.
Chipset
Chipset is an Integrated set of chips for executing one or more related functions。Here it
refers to a system level chipset structured by South Bridge & North Bridge; Chipset decides
the structure and main functions of motherboard.
CMOS
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, which is a widely used semiconductor with
the characteristics of high-speed and low-power. COMS here refer to part of space on-board
CMOS RAM for saving date, time, system information and system parameter, etc.
