Environmental Safety Instruction
 Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
 0 to 60 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset)
 Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact
malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
 The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.
Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.
 Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

* Note: Many PCs now include XHCI USB controllers which allow for the support of USB 3.0 and higher
USB speeds. This inclusion of XHCI controllers has lessened the need for EHCI USB controllers within
platforms. However, legacy operating systems (OS) may not natively recognize XHCI controllers. You
might need to pre-install XHCI driver while desiring to install a non-XHCI OS on Intel platforms which do
not include EHCI controllers. Please contact your representative for more details.

* For Dual Channel Memory Installation
Notice!
 For dual channel installation, you need to install the same brand, speed, size and
type memory module.
 It is unable to activate dual channel feature if you install one or three memory
modules, or you install DIMMB1 & DIMMA1 or DIMMB2 & DIMMA2 (DIMM Slot
pair in the same color). Slot order can be from left-to-right or right-to-left, and it
must be installed in pairs.
 If you install memory modules in wrong direction, it will damage the motherboard
and memory module.
 It will take relatively longer time to start the computer for the first time due to
DRAM detection; larger capacity DRAM will take longer time for detection. It is
also normal for the computer to go through DRAM detection again after system
clear CMOS action, or system memory module changes/relocation.
