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.

The audio connector provides two kinds of audio
output choices: the Front Audio, the 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, pin9 and 10 must be
short, and then the signal will be sent to the rear
audio port.

video cards. The difference in bandwidth between the x16 and x1 slots is notable to be sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent) of
bandwidth, and the PCI Express x1 slot offering 250MB/sec.
Installing an expansion card
1.Before installing the expansion card, read carefully the documentation that
came withit and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2.Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing any expansion cards.
3.Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
4.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated in the slot.
5.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
