Battery Replacement
The battery which holds the system settings memory (CMOS RAM) on your
motherboard should not require replacement for at least five years, and probably
much longer. In picture 2.2, it is located towards the lower edge of the motherboard.
Incorrect computer time and/or loss of time may indicate a weak motherboard battery.
Please replace your battery only with the same type, or a similar type recommended
by the battery manufacturer. If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of
a short circuit or explosion. Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and local environmental regulations.
•••••
Electric Screwdrivers
To reduce the risk of damage to the motherboard due to excessive torque, avoid
setting electric screwdrivers above 7.5 kg/cm.
•••••
AGP Card Use
If you are using this motherboard as a DIY (do-it-yourself) system upgrade, and you
intend to transfer and use an older AGP card with this motherboard, please make
sure your AGP card is 1.5V and supports the AGP2.0 standard. Intel has designed
and manufactured the Intel 845 chipset's north bridge to only support 1.5V AGP
cards. This chipset does not support older, 3.3V AGP cards. Use of a 3.3V AGP
card in the AGP slot will damage the motherboard. If this motherboard is part of a
completely new system, it is your system vendor's responsibility to be sure that the
AGP card provided with the system is compatible with the Intel 845 chipset. If you
are performing a DIY system upgrade and don't know the detailed specifications of
your AGP card, please contact your AGP vendor or Transcend's Motherboard Tech
Support.
