CAUTION!
1. 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.
2. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of P4S61 motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
XP SP1/2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows
98/ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
4. Although P4S61 offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform
over clocking. When the CPU frequency of P4S61 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.

Chapter 2 Installation
P4S61 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 8.4-in, 24.4 cm x 21.3 cm) motherboard.
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and
damages to motherboard components.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the
motherboard.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded
object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power
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.
