Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Before You Start
Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:
• Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting. • Always disconnect the computer from power outlet before operation.
• Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.
• Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
• Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.
• Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air and water. • The operating temperatures of the computer should be 0 to 45 degrees Celsius. • To avoid injury, be careful of:
Sharp pins on headers and connectors
Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

Note
» Before you power on the system, please make sure that both ATXPWR1 and ATXPWR2 connectors have been plugged-in.
» Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the peripherals not functioning properly. Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when configuring a system with more power-consuming devices.
