1.1 Saftey Precautions

Read and follow the content of the Safety Precautions carefully so that you will not
cause damages to yourself or the system. Before you install or remove any
components on the motherboard, please make sure to disconnect the power first
in case of damaging motherboard or other components.

1. Pay attention to the warnings and notes in this manual to avoid causing
unexpected damages.

2. If you want to wipe the system with a wet cloth, make sure the power cord is
disconnected. We strongly suggest not to wipe the system with chemical
detergent or sprayed detergent.

3. When moving the system, do not put the system on uneven, unsteady or
slanting surfaces.

4. Do not put water cups or beverages near the PC system to protect the system
from being damaged by liquids.

5. There are ventilating holes on the backboard of the computer case to
dissipate heat from the machine. You should pay attention to the position of
the PC so that the ventilating holes will not be blocked. Meanwhile, do not put
your PC on something not sturdy enough – like rug or bed mattress – to
ensure smooth air flow for heat dissipation.

6. Before plugging on power, make certain the electric voltage in your area
complies with that of the PC. If you are uncertain, consult your PC dealer or
power company first.

7. Do not place your PC on power cords. Do not leave the power lines in tangles
which may cause people to stumble.

8. It normally takes several power sockets to meet the need of a PC system.
Make sure the extension power line is capable of handling the total power load
for all equipment. In other words, the combined amperage of all electrical
appliances on the same extension line must not exceed the strength of
electric currents or the fuse of the extension line.

9. When your PC system runs into problems, do not try to fix it unless you
possess adequate technical know-how concerning hardware installation and
system maintenance. It would advisable to seek assistance from qualified
maintenance personnel so as to avoid improper disassembling.

10. When encountering the following more dangerous situations, unplug the
power to shut down the system and then seek help from professional
technicians to fix the problems:

4

* When liquids find their way into the equipment.

* When the PC is soaked by rain.

* When power cords or power sockets are damaged.

* When the PC system falls to the ground and is damaged.

* When some problems cannot be solved even after you installed the system
according to the manual or the troubleshooting procedures.

3.2 Installation You Have to Know

Installing CPU

This socket supports uFCPGA package CPU, which is the latest CPU package
developed by Intel. Other forms of CPU package are impossible to be fitted in.

1. Unscrew the socket screw counter-clockwise.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a golden arrow on the CPU upper

interface. Match Pin 1 and golden arrow. Then insert the CPU into the
socket.

3. Lock the CPU socket screw clockwise to fasten CPU.

Installing CPU Cooler

This motherboard comes with a special CPU cooler desiged by AOpen, please
follow the following steps to install CPU cooler.

1. Please apply thermal paste on the bottom of CPU cooler.

2. Gently put CPU cooler onto the CPU retention module.
