Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received including inter-
ference 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 interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with manufacturer’s instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Canadian Department of Communications Statement
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regula-
tions of the Canadian Department of Communications.
This class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Warning! The use of shielded cables for connection of the
monitor to the graphics card is required to assure
compliance with FCC regulations. Changes or
modifications to this unit not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this equip-
ment.

Safety information
Electrical safety
• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable
from the electrical outlet before relocating the system.
• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure
that the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the sig-
nal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables
from the existing system before you add a device.
• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the mother-
board, ensure that all power cables are unplugged.
• Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension
cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
• Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in
your area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical out-
let you are using, contact your local power company.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Con-
tact a qualified service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
• Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, care-
fully read all the manuals that came with the package.
• Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly con-
nected and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any
damage, contact your dealer immediately.
• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away
from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the
product in any area where it may become wet.
• Place the product on a stable surface.
• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a
qualified service technician or your retailer.
Caution! The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin
indicates that the product (electrical and elec-
tronic equipment) should not be placed in munic-
ipal waste. Check local regulations for disposal
of electronic products.
