1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperatures.
3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or
memory module.
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of
your device.

module can be fixed in one direction only. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the
module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically
into the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.
