Precautions 

1.

 

Please read this Quick Start Guide before installation. Serious damage may 
occur if the installation procedures are not followed accordingly. 

2.

 

AGP 8X cards running at 1.5v/0.8v are not supported by this motherboard. 
Only AGP 2X/4X cards with 3.3v/1.5v power consumption are supported. 
Serious damage to the motherboard and connected devices may occur if an 
incompatible AGP card is wrongly placed into the AGP slot, and void the 
warranty.

 

 

3.

 

Please ensure that your memory modules are installed properly. They can fit 
into the memory slots only in one orientation, and their gold edge should 
immerse completely into the slot. Failure to do so may damage your 
motherboard and memory modules. 

4.

 

An ATX 12V power connector should be connected to the motherboard before 
powering up the system to ensure system stability. A powerful and verified 
power supply is strongly recommended to sustain stable system operation, 
preferably 350 watts for minimal loading. The requirement of power supply is 
subject to the number of components you attach to your system. 

5.

 

On some motherboards, the actual chipset cooler fan/heatsink may look 
different from the photo on the color box of the motherboard, but will remain 
effective and capable of preventing the system from excessive heat.  

6.

 

If you have any problem getting your system to start, please first refer to the 
Troubleshooting section on this Quick Start Guide, or turn to the last page for 
our technical support information.
