FCC and DOC Statement on Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for
help.

Introduction
Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board,
components or devices even before installing them in your system
unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components
without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra
care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1.To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its
anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
2.Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3.Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4.Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of
the components, contacts or connections.
5.Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk
drive and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction
procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a
station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal
part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.
Safety Measures
To avoid damage to the system:
•Use the correct AC input voltage range
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
•Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis
cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,
cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.
..
.
..
Battery:
•Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
•Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend
the manufacturer.
•Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be
converted first to an analog format. This prevents the
quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is
converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/
PDIF connector on the system board sends surround sound and 3D
audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.

ACPI
ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement
Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that
support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Windows
2000/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the
Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to
RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”
when you shut down Windows
through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications
and operating system. This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session
into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you
power-on the system.
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform
the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation
only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a

establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.
System Memory
Warning:
When the DRAM Power LED lit red, it indicates that power is
present on the DDR2 sockets. Power-off the PC then unplug the
power cord prior to installing any memory modules. Failure to do so
will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory
channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory
channels. Dual channel provides better system performance because
it doubles the data transfer rate.

The table below shows the DIMM sockets that must be populated
with DIMMs for single or dual channel interface. We strongly
recommend that you strictly follow the memory configurations below.
Installing DDR2 DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause system boot failure.

•DIMMs are on the same channel.
•DIMMs in a channel can be identical or
