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 in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc­tions, 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 measures listed below.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and 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/television technician for help.
Notice 1 The changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Notice 2 Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply

When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent the CPU from overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.
Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to avoid overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on the CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause damage to your CPU & mainboard.

Do not touch the CPU socket pins to
avoid damage.
Important
Read the CPU status in BIOS.
When the CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic
cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damage.

Fan Power Connector: CPU_FAN1~2, SYS_FAN1~3
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When con­necting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advan­tage of the CPU fan control.
Important
Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s ofcial website or
consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
Fan cooler sets with 3- or 4-pin power connector are both available.

Important
You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.

eNteriNg setup

Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process. When the message below appears on the screen, press <DEL> or <F2> key to enter Setup.
Press <DEL> or <F2> to enter SETUP
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <De­lete> keys.
Important
The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are under
• continuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be held for reference only.
Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOS ver
• sion. It is usually in the format:
A91E2IMS V1.0 093010 where:
1st digit refers to BIOS maker as A = AMI, W = AWARD, and
P = PHOENIX.
2nd - 5th digit refers to the model number.
6th digit refers to the chipset as I = Intel, N = NVIDIA, A = AMD and
V = VIA.
7th - 8th digit refers to the customer as MS = all standard customers.
V1.0 refers to the BIOS version.
093010 refers to the date this BIOS was released.
