(Note 1) Due to Windows Vista/XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical
memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) For Windows Vista/XP 32-bit operating system only.
(Note 3) If you are installing one PCI Express graphics card, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot for
optimum performance. When two graphics cards are installed, the PCIEX16 slot will operate
at up to x8 mode.
(Note 4) A SiI5723 chip supports two SATA 3Gb/s connectors, so the four SATA 3Gb/s connectors are
divided into to two pairs: GS0-Source and GS1 as a pair and GS2-Source and GS3 as a pair.
When installing SATA hard drive(s) to the connector(s), be sure to enter BIOS Setup to enable
the Smart Backup function. If only one SATA hard drive is to be installed, please connect it to
the GS0-Source or GS2-Source connector, or the system may not read it correctly.
If the SATA hard drive to be installed already contains data, be sure to connect it to the GS0-Source
or GS2-Source connector, or the data will be lost. After connecting the hard drive, be sure to enter
BIOS Setup to set Smart Backup Initial to Enabled. (Refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup,"
"Integrated Peripherals," for more information.)
(Note 5) The Smart Backup function can back up the data on the first hard drive to the second hard drive.
The second hard drive must have equal or larger capacity than the first hard drive, i.e. hard drive
connected to the GS1 connector must have equal or larger capacity than that connected to the
GS0-Source connector; hard drive connected to the GS3 connector must have equal or larger
capacity than that connected to the GS2-Source connector. (Refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup,"
"Integrated Peripherals," for how to enable the Smart Backup function.)
(Note 6) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/
system cooler you install.
(Note 7) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
(Note 8) This feature is optional due to different regional policy.
