Appendix
Attention:
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 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.
Attention:
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.

Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes three 32-bit master PCI slots,two PCI Express x1
slots and two PCI Express x16 slots.
For the detailed PCI Express cards support list on this motherboard, please
visit the website: http://www.foxconnchannel.com
PCI Slot
The expansion cards can be installed in the three PCI slots. PCI slots support

with PCI specifications.
PCI Express x1 Slot
This motherboard has two PCI Express x1 slots designed to accommodate
less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card.The PCI Ex-
press x1 slot offering 250MB/s(500MB/s concurrent) of bandwidth.
PCI Express x16 Slot
This motherboard has two PCI Express x16 slots that reserved for graphics or
video cards. The PCI Express x16 slots offering 4GB/s (8GB/s concurrent) of
bandwidth.
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 expan-
sion cards,Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
3.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated in the slot.
4.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
Warning:
If a performance graphics card was installed into x16 PCI Ex-
press slot,24 pin power supply was recommended.
