1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due high temperatures.
3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or
memory module.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity
of your device.

Memory
This motherboard includes two 184-pin slots with 2.5 V for DDR DIMM. so you
can install DDR 266/333/400 memory. You must install at least one memory
bank to ensure normal operation.
Installation of DDR Memory
1. There is only one gap in the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory module
can be fixed in one direction only. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module
clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically
into the DIMM slot.
104 Pins 80 Pins
3. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.
Warning :
Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing
expansion cards or other system peripherals, especially the
memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or the system
memory might be seriously damaged.

Audio Interface: F_AUDIO
The audio interface provides two kinds of
audio output choices: the Front Audio, the
Rear Audio. Their priority is sequenced from
high to low (Front Audio to Rear Audio). If
headphones are plugged into the front panel
of the chassis (using the Front Audio), then
the Line-out (Rear Audio) on the rear panel
will not work. If you do not want to use the
Front Audio, pin 5 and 6, pin9 and 10 must
be short, and then the signal will be sent to
the rear audio port.
