Caution

To avoid damage to the system:  Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:  Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis

cover for installation or ser vicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:  Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.  Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by

the manufacturer.

 Dispose of used batteries according to the battery

manufacturers instructions.

Joystick or MIDI port:  Do not use any joystick or MIDI device that requires more than

10A current at 5V DC . There is a risk of fire for devices that exceed this limit.

FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to tr y to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for

help.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 AGP slot and 6 PCI slots.

Important:

Most PCI cards today are in Master mode and can be installed anywhere between PCI slot 1 and PCI slot 5. DO NOT install Master mode PCI cards onto PCI slot 6 because this slot only supports Slave mode.

The AGP slot only supports 1.5V AGP 4x (1066MB/sec. bandwidth) add-in cards. AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D graphics cards for 3D graphics applications. It handles large amounts of graphics data with the following features:

 Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory

access latency.

 Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for nearly 100

percent efficiency.

Onboard Audio Features

 16-bit stereo full-duplex codec with independent variable sam-

pling rate  High quality differential CD input  True stereo line level outputs  2-channel audio output

English

Onboard LAN Features (NB78-BL only)

 Uses Realtek RTL8100 fast ethernet controller  Integrated IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX compatible

PHY  32-bit PCI master interface  Integrated power management functions  Full duplex support at both 10 and 100 Mbps  Supports IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation  Supports wire for management

Compatibility

 PCI 2.2 and AC 97 compliant  Intel AGP version 2.0

English

Rear Panel I/O Ports (PC 99 color-coded connectors)

 2 USB 2.0/1.1 ports  1 RJ45 LAN port (NB78-BL only)  2 NS16C550A-compatible DB-9 serial port  1 DB-25 parallel port  1 mini-DIN-6 PS/2 mouse port  1 mini-DIN-6 PS/2 keyboard port  1 game/MIDI por t  3 audio jacks: line-out, line-in and mic-in

I/O Connectors

English

 2 connector for 4 additional external USB 2.0/1.1 ports  1 CD-in internal audio connectors  1 S/PDIF-out connector  1 connector for IrDA interface  2 IDE connectors  1 floppy drive interface supports up to two 2.88MB floppy

drives  2 ATX power supply connectors  1 Wake-On-LAN connector  CPU fan, chassis fan and second fan connectors

PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

 Two PCI IDE interfaces suppor t up to four IDE devices  Supports ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives  PIO Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to 14MB/sec.)  Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer  Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP

S/PDIF

The system board is equipped with the S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) digital audio interface. S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to analog.
