Installing the Processor Fan Heat Sink
Desktop Board D975XBX2 has an integrated processor fan heat sink retention
mechanism (RM). For instructions on how to attach the processor fan heat sink to the
integrated processor fan heat sink RM, refer to the boxed processor manual or the

Connecting the Processor Fan Heat Sink Cable
Connect the processor fan heat sink cable to the 4-pin processor fan header (see
Figure 13). A fan with a 4-pi
n connector as shown in Figure 13, A is recommended;
however, a fan with a 3-pin connector (Figure 13, B) can be used. Since the 3-pin fan
can
not use the on-board fan control, the fan will always operate at full speed.
