Preface

Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.

1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURA TION decided for GIGABYTE’s “global” product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product competitiveness, your regional office MA Y have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU P ARTS, you should check the most up-to-date information available on your regional web or channel. For whatever reason, if a part number change is made, it will not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For GIGABYTE-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your GIGABYTE office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional GIGABYTE office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines
