Screw Holes

When you nstall the manboard, you have to place the manboard nto the chasss n the

correct drecton. The locatons of screws holes on the manboard are shown as below.

Refer above pcture to nstall standos n the approprate locatons on chasss and then

screw through the manboard screw holes nto the standos.

Important

To prevent damage to the manboard, any contact between the manboard crcut and

chasss or unnecessary standos mounted on the chasss s prohbted.

Please make sure there are no metal components placed on the manboard or wthn

the chasss that may cause short crcut of the manboard.

CPU (Central Processng Unt)

When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.

If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.

Overheatng

Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng

fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you apply

an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to

enhance heat dsspaton.

Replacng the CPU

Whle replacng the CPU, always turn o the ATX power supply or unplug the power

supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclockng

Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your

components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any

attempt to operate beyond product speccatons s not recommended. We do not guar

antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-

catons.
