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

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 anti-
static pad or into the antistatic bag that it came in.

Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes three 32-bit Master PCI bus slots and one PCI Express x16 slot.
PCI Slots
The expansion cards can be installed in the three PCI slots. When you install or
take out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled
out. Please read carefully the instructions provided for such cards, and install
and set the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as the
jumper or BIOS settings.
PCI Express Slots
PCI Express will offer the following design advantages over the PCI and AGP
interface:
-Compatible with existing PCI drivers and software and Operating Systems.
-High Bandwidth per Pin. Low overhead. Low latency.
-PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins. This
results in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s.
-A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connec-
tion without sharing bandwidth.
-Ability to comprehend different data structure.
-Low power consumption and power management features.
PCI Express will take two forms, x16 and x1 PCI Express slots. Whereas the x16
slot is reserved for graphic/video cards, the x1 slots are designed to accommo-
date less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card.
The difference in bandwidth between the x16 and x1 slots are not able to be
sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent) of bandwidth,
and the x1 PCI Express slot offering 250MB/sec.
