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 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
overclocked. Normal operation depends on the overclock capacity of
your device.

Other Connectors
This motherboard includes connectors for FDD devices, IDE HDD devices,
SATA devices, USB devices, 1394 devices, IR module, CPU fan, system fan, and
others.
FLOPPY
This motherboard includes a standard FLOPPY interface, supporting 360 K, 720 K,
1.2 M, 1.44 M, and 2.88 M FDDs.
IDE Connectors: PIDE & SIDE
These connectors support the provided UltraDMA133/100/66 IDE hard disk ribbon cable and you can configure as a disk array through NVIDIA RAID controller.
Refer to RAID manual (in CD) for details on how to set up RAID configurations.
Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the slave device (hard
disk drive) and the black connector to the master device. If you install two hard
disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its
jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes four 32-bit Master PCI bus slots, two PCI Express x1
slots, and one PCI Express x16 slot.
PCI Slots
The expansion card can be installed in the PCI slot. When you install or take out
such card, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled out.
Please read carefully the instructions provided for such card, and install and set
the necessary hardware and software for such card, such as the jumper or
BIOS setup.
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 connection 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 accommodate 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.
Warning:
If a performance graphics card was installed into x16 PCI
Express slot, 2X12 pin power supply was strongly recommended.
19
Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Installing an expansion card
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with
it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion
cards.
3. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
4. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
