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 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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.

■ 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.

6. Turn on your computer. If necessary, go to BIOS Setup to make any required BIOS changes for

your expansion card(s).

7. Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.

Installing and Removing a PCI Express x16 Graphics Card :

• Installing a Graphics Card:

Gently insert the graphics card into the PCI Express x16 slot.

Make sure the graphics card is locked by the latch at the end of

the PCI Express x16 slot.

• Removing the Card:

Push the latch at the end of the PCI Express x16 slot to release

the card and then pull the card straight up from the slot.

■ Makesurethemotherboardsupportstheexpansioncard.Carefullyreadthemanual
