user s encouraged to try to correct the nterference by one or more of the measures

lsted below.

Reorent or relocate the recevng antenna.

Increase the separaton between the equpment and recever.

Connect the equpment nto an outlet on a crcut derent from that to whch the

Assembly Precautons

The components ncluded n ths package are prone to damage from electrostatc

dscharge (ESD). Please adhere to the followng nstructons to ensure successful

computer assembly.

Always turn o the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet

before nstallng or removng any computer component.

Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connectons may cause

the computer to not recognze a component or fal to start.

Hold the manboard by the edges to avod touchng senstve components.

It s recommended to wear an electrostatc dscharge (ESD) wrst strap when handlng

the manboard to prevent electrostatc damage. If an ESD wrst strap s not avalable,

dscharge yourself of statc electrcty by touchng another metal object before han-

dlng the manboard.

Store the manboard n an electrostatc sheldng contaner or on an antstatc pad

whenever the manboard s not nstalled.

Before turnng on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal com-

ponents on the manboard or anywhere wthn the computer case.

Do not use the computer n a hgh-temperature envronment.

Do not boot the computer before nstallaton s completed. Ths could cause perma-

nent damage to the components as well as njury to the user.

If you need help durng any nstallaton step, please consult a certed computer tech-

ncan.

Important

A screwdrver (not ncluded) may be requred for computer assembly.

Clear CMOS Button

There s CMOS RAM present on board that s powered by an external battery to store

system conguraton data. Usng CMOS RAM, the system can automatcally boot nto

the operatng system (OS) every tme t s turned on. If you wsh to clear the system

conguraton, press the button to clear the data.

Coaxal S/PDIF-Out

Ths S/PDIF (Sony & Phlps Dgtal Interconnect Format) connector s provded for

dgtal audo transmsson to external speakers through a coaxal cable.

Optcal S/PDIF-Out

Ths S/PDIF (Sony & Phlps Dgtal Interconnect Format) connector s provded for

dgtal audo transmsson to external speakers through an optcal ber cable.

USB 2.0 Port

The USB 2.0 port s for attachng USB 2.0 devces such as keyboard, mouse, or other

USB 2.0-compatble devces.

USB 3.0 Port

USB 3.0 port s backward-compatble wth USB 2.0 devces. It supports data transfer

rate up to 5 Gbt/s (SuperSpeed).

Important

In order to use USB 3.0 devces, you must connect to a USB 3.0 port. If a USB cable s

used, t must be USB 3.0 complant.
