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

Other Connectors
This motherboard includes connectors for FDD devices, IDE devices, Serial ATA
devices, USB devices, IR module, CPU fan, System fan and others.
FDD Connector: FLOPPY
This motherboard includes a standard FLOPPY connector, supporting [360K, 5.
25in], [1.2M, 5.25in], [720K, 3.5in], [1.44M, 3.5in] and [2.88M, 3.5in] FDDs.
IDE Connectors: PIDE & SIDE
The two IDE connectors support Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk drive.
Connect the cable’s blue connector to the IDE connector, then connect the gray
connector to the slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the
Ultra ATA master device.
Fan Connectors: CPU_FAN, SYS_FAN
The fan speed can be detected and viewed in “PC
Health Status” section of the CMOS Setup. These fans
will be automatically turned off after the system enters
S3, S4 and S5 mode.
USB Headers: F_USB1, F_USB2

of motherboards also have two headers on board
which may connect to front panel USB cable to provide
additional four USB ports.
Additional COM Connector: COM2
Besides one COM1 port on the rear panel, The series
of motherboards also provide an additional serial
header COM2 for your machine. Connect one side of
a switching cable to the header, then attach the serial

HDD LED Connector (HDD-LED)
The connector connects to the case’s HDD indicator LED indicating the activity
status of hard disks.
Reset Switch (RESET)
Attach the connector to the Reset switch on the front panel of the case; the
system will restart when the switch is pressed.
Power LED Connector (PWRLED)
Attach the connector to the power LED on the front panel of the case. The Power
LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is in S0 status, the LED is
on. When the system is in S1 status, the LED is blink; When the system is in S3,
S4, S5 status, the LED is off.
Power Switch Connector (PWRSW)
Attach the connector to the power button of the case. Pushing this switch allows
the system to be turned on and off rather than using the power supply button.
