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.

Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes three 32-bit master PCI bus slots, one AGP 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
setup.
AGP Slot
This motherboard has an AGP slot that supports 1.5V AGP cards. AGP is an
interfacing specification designed to display 3D images. It provides a specialized
66MHz, 32-bit channel to allow the graphic controller to directly access the master
memory and supports 4X and 8X speeds.
Warning:
The motherboard may be damaged if a 3.3V AGP card is used. Make
sure that your AGP card is 1.5V specification. Note the notches on
the card golden fingers to ensure that they fit the AGP slot on your
motherboard.
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.
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.
