Installation Precautions

Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer :

■ It is suggested to select high-quality, certied fans in order to avoid damage

to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never turn on the

computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

■ We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when your

CPU is overclocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capac-

ity of your device.

■ If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, RS232 COM, IrDA or S/PDIF

cables to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure their

pinouts are matching with the connectors on the motherboard. Incorrect con-

nections might damage the motherboard.

■ When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connec-

tors.

■ If there is a PCI Express x16 graphics card installed in your system, we

recommend using a 24-pin ATX power supply to get the best performance.

■ Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input

voltage setting has been congured to the local standard.

■ To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact

with the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make sure there are no

leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the

computer casing.

■ If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to

the use of the product, please consult a certied computer technician.

CAUTION

■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current

that ows between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it

comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electronic equipment.

Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling

components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory.

■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing

CPU, memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to

unplug the AC power cord from the power supply outlet. Failure to unplug

the power supply cord may result in serious damage to your system.
