motherboard. Has information on performance optimi-
zation and troubleshooting.
Chapter 7: Technical Information
Lists the motherboard’s technical specifications.
Manual Features
This User’s Manual is intended to be useful and informa-
tive while also making it easy to quickly find specific
information or specifications. The manual has icons and
notes in the sidebar to note important topics, indicate
warnings or further explain and illustrate points. We
suggest that most users review the manual to become
familiar with the motherboard. Expert users may want to
review topics selectively, as needed.
If The Motherboard Is Already Installed
You may receive the motherboard installed in a working
system. If this is the case, you should still probably re-
view the sections on configuring and using the board,
especially if an Operating System is not installed yet.
If You Need To Install This Motherboard
We recommend that only experienced users and techni-
cians install this motherboard. Otherwise, we suggest
having a qualified computer technician install and con-
figure the system. This service is usually provided at a
nominal fee by better computer stores and service com-
panies.
