Installation Precautions
Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer :
■
It is suggested to select high-quality, certified 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 over
clocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capacity of your device.
■
If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, 1394a, 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 connections might
damage the motherboard.
■
When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.
■
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 configured 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 certified computer technician.

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