The VIA EPIA-N701 mainboard is packaged with a standard VIA C7-D 1.5 GHz processor. The processor requires a heatsink with fan to provide sufficient cooling.
CPU Fan and System Fan: CPU_FAN and SYS_FAN
The CPU_FAN (CPU fan) and SYS_FAN (System fan) run on +12V and maintain system cooling. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always be aware that the red wire (positive wire) should be connected to the +12V. The black wire is Ground and should always be connected to GND.
