Product Warranty

BCM warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from

defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by

persons other than repair personnel authorized by BCM, or which have been subject to

misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. BCM assumes no liability under the terms

of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of BCM high quality-control

standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.

If any of BCM products is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the

warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of

replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more

details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type and

speed, BCM products model name, hardware & BIOS revision number, other hardware

and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen messages you

get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any

helpful information available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material authorization)

number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement Order Card

and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable

container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for

warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Safety Information

Electrical safety

z To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical

outlet before relocating the system.

z When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables

for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,

disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

z Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all

power cables are unplugged.

z Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These

devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.

z Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are

not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local

power company.

z If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service

technician or your retailer.

Production Introduction

1.1 Before you Proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or

change any motherboard settings.

z Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

z Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a

metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling

components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity

z Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on

them.

z Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded

antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.

z Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX

power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from

the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to

the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1.2 Motherboard Overview

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that

the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the

motherboard.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and

damage motherboard components.

1.2.1 Placement Direction

When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct

orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in

the image below.

1.2.2 Screw Holes

Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the

chassis.

Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the

motherboard.

Place this side towards the rear of the

chassis
