CAUTION!
1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 21.
2. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly before
you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray
thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC
system.
3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows
XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ME/2000.
Please refer to Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
4. Although GE Pro-HT / GE Pro-M2 offers stepless control, it is not
recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of
GE Pro-HT / GE Pro-M2 is set to perform over clocking, other clocks, such
as PCI clock, AGP clock and Memory clock will also be overclocked
proportionally. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus
frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU
and the motherboard.
