Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
wThis device may not cause harmful interference
wThis device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
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 in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If this equipment is not installed and
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it 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:
wReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
wIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.

WATCH OUT !!!
1. Please refer to your processor installation or other
documentation attached with your CPU for detailed
installing instruction.
2. Installing a heat sink and cooling fan is necessary
for proper heat dissipation from your CPU. Uncor-
rected installation may result in overheating and
damage of your CPU.
3. Before changing the setting of CPU Vcore from
BIOS program, user SHOULD make sure of correct
specification both of CPU CLOCK and RATIO.
Uncorrected setting may cause damage to your
CPU.
