Caut on
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 by
the manufacturer.
 Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturers instructions.
Joystick or MIDI port:
 Do not use any joystick or MIDI device that requires more than
10A current at 5V DC. There is a risk of fire for devices that
exceed this limit.
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

 The frequency ratio of some processors shown in the table may
have been locked by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind
of processor, setting an extended ratio for the processor will have
no effect. The system will instead use its factor y default ratio.

 Most processors with frequency ratio greater than 8x have
locked frequency ratio therefore does not have the flexibility of
using extended ratio. If your processor does not have locked
frequency ratio, you can set SW1 according to the desired ratio.
 The processors supported by the system board support VID
(Voltage Identification). The switching voltage regulator on the
system board will automatically set the voltage regulator
according to the voltage of the processor.
1.2.2 CPUs Front Side Bus - JP1 and JP2
Warning:
Some processors, when overclocked, may result to the processors or
systems instability and are not guaranteed to provide better system
performance. If you are unable to boot your system due to
overclocking, make sure to set these jumpers back to their default
settings.

1.3.13 DIMM and PCI Standby Power L Ds
The DIMM Standby Power LED (CA64-TC only) will turn red when the
systems power is on or when it is in the Suspend state (Power On
Suspend or Suspend to RAM). It will not light when the system is in the
Soft-Off state.
The PCI Standby Power LED will turn red when the system is in the
power-on, Soft-Off or Suspend state.
Lighted LEDs serve as a reminder that you must power-off the system
then turn off the power supplys switch or unplug the power cord prior to
installing any memory modules or add-in cards.

If a system did not boot-up and the Power/Standby LED did not light
after it was powered-on, it may indicate that the CPU or memory module
was not installed properly. Please make sure they are properly inserted
into their corresponding socket.
