Safety Instructons
Always read the safety nstructons carefully.
Keep ths User’s Manual for future reference.
Keep ths equpment away from humdty.
Lay ths equpment on a relable at surface before settng t up.
The openngs on the enclosure are for ar convecton hence protects the equpment
from overheatng. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
Make sure the voltage of the power source s at 110/220V before connectng the
equpment to the power nlet.
Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on t. Do not place any
-
thng over the power cord.
Always Unplug the Power Cord before nsertng any add-on card or module.
All cautons and warnngs on the equpment should be noted.
Never pour any lqud nto the openng that can cause damage or cause electrcal
shock.
If any of the followng stuatons arses, get the equpment checked by servce
personnel:
The power cord or plug s damaged.
Lqud has penetrated nto the equpment.
The equpment has been exposed to mosture.
The equpment does not work well or you can not get t work accordng to User’s
Manual.
The equpment has been dropped and damaged.
The equpment has obvous sgn of breakage.

guarantee that nterference wll not occur n a partcular nstallaton. If ths equpment
does cause harmful nterference to rado or televson recepton, whch can be deter-
mned by turnng the equpment o and on, the 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

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

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.
For the latest nformaton about CPU, please vst

Important
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

CPU & Cooler Installaton
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top
to prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU
before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsperson.
Follow the steps below to nstall the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong nstallaton wll
cause the damage of your CPU & manboard.
Pull the lever sdeways away from
the socket. Make sure to rase the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
1.
Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.
The gold arrow should pont as shown
n the pcture. The CPU can only t n
the correct orentaton.
2.
If the CPU s correctly nstalled, the
pns should be completely embedded
nto the socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any volaton of the
correct nstallaton procedures may
cause permanent damages to your
manboard.
3. Press the CPU down rmly nto the
socket and close the lever. As the
CPU s lkely to move whle the lever
s beng closed, always close the
lever wth your ngers pressng tghtly
on top of the CPU to make sure the
CPU s properly and completely
embedded nto the socket.
