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.

We recommend that you use a power supply that complies with the
ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 1.1. Connect the
ATX12V power supply’s 20-pin ATX main power connector and 4-
pin +12V power connector to J8 and ATXP1 respectively.
The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of more
+12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module
(VRM).
The mainboard requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to
operate.Your system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards,
peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum power requirement.To
ensure that adequate power is provided, use a 300 Watt (or
greater) power supply.
