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 temperature.
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 re moving 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.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of your device.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Take note of the following precautions before you install components or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object, such as an attached power supply, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching any components.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded anti­static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

2.If required, apply a light coating of silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have a pre-applied thermal compound. In that case, the silica gel is not required.
4. Connect the fan’s power cable to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
1.Locate the CPU retention mechanism base (surrounds the CPU socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies. To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example, overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the actual procedure.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor­mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging to the CPU.

CPU Qualified Vendor List
The following table lists the CPUs that have been tested and qualified for use with this motherboard.
Memory
This motherboard includes four 184-pin slots with 266/333/400 MHz Dual Chan­nel DDR DRAM interface, You must install at least one memory module to ensure normal operation. If you install four modules, they must be the same speed. When all full sockets are populated with 1GB DIMMs (total 4 GB), the system may detect only 3.5GB (a little less than 4 GB) due to the South Bridge resource allocation. Mixing memory modules from different manufactures are not recommended.
Installation of DDR Memory
1. There is only one gap in the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory module can be fixed in one direction only.
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.

The Serial ATA connectors are used to con­nect the S-ATA devices to the motherboard. These connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for primary internal storage devices. The current S-ATA interface allows up to 150MB/s data transfer rate.
The audio port includes two parts – the Front Audio and Rear Audio. Their priority is se­quenced from high to low (Front Audio to Rear Audio). If headphones are plugged into the front panel of the chassis (using the Front Audio), then the Line Out (Rear Audio) on the rear panel will not work. If you do not want to use the Front Audio, pin 5 and 6, pin 9 and 10 must be short, and then the signal will be sent to the rear audio port.
