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 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.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity
of your device.
Attention:
Since BIOS programs are upgraded from time to time, the BIOS
description in this manual is just for reference. We do not guarantee
that the content of this manual will remain consistent with the actual
BIOS version at any given time in the future.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Memory
This motherboard includes two or four 184-pin slots with 2.6 V for DDR. These
slots support 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Gb DDR technologies for x8 and x16 devices,
and support maximum memory bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s in Single-Channel or DualChannel asymmetric mode, or 6.4 GB/s in Dual-Channel interleaved mode, assuming DDR 333/400. You must install at least one memory bank to ensure
normal operation.
Installation of DDR Memory
1. There is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory
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.
104 Pins 80 Pins
3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.
Warning :
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing
expansion cards or other system peripherals, especially the
memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or the system
memory might be seriously damaged.
