CPU
The VIA EPIA-NX Nano-ITX mainboard can support VIA C7 NanoBGA2 and
VIA Eden NanoBGA2 processors. The processor requires a heatsink with fan
for 1.5GHz SKU and a fanless heatsink for 1.2GHz SKU.
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
+12V. The black wire is Ground and should always be connected to GND.

ONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
The VIA EPIA-NX Nano-ITX mainboard supports a Nano-ITX power supply for
the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always
make sure that all components are installed correctly to ensure that no
damage will be caused.
Nano-ITX 12-Pin Power Connector
To connect the power supply, make sure the power plug is inserted in the
proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the plug firmly
into the connector.

the reset switch from the system case to this pin.
Power LED (PWR_LED)
The LED will light when the system is on. If the system is in S1 (POS - Power
On Suspend) or S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state, the LED will blink.
