This chapter provides you with information about hardware installation
procedures. It is recommended to use a grounded wrist strap before handling
computer components. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage some
components.

CPU
The VIA VB7007 mainboard is packaged with either the VIA C7®-D 1.6 GHz or VIA
C7® 1.0 GHz NanoBGA2 processor. The VIA C7®-D 1.6 GHz processor requires a
heatsink with fan to provide sufficient cooling. The VIA C7® 1.0 GHz processor is
for fanless solutions.
CPU Fan and System Fan: CPUFAN and SYSFAN
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.
