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.
