correct the interference (take adequate measures) at their own expense.
CE Certification
The product(s) described in this manual complies with all applicable European Union (CE) directives if it
has a CE marking. For computer systems to remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used.
Maintaining CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques.
Safety Information
Before installing and using the PEAK 760, note the following precautions:
Read all instructions carefully.
Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the manufacturer.
Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a hearing device.
WARNINGS
Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and
the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory
modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are inconsistent
with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact
the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets
safety and regulatory requirements.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage NSA components. Do the
described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic
wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Remark:
3.2GB as Award BIOS limitation by maximum capacity currently;
According to the chipset spec, the 915GV can only decode HA3~HA31, maximum 4GB
address space. The 4GB address space will be shared by the following usage:
1. Memory mapped I/O space for processor build-in device, e.g. APIC
2. Memory mapped I/O space for PCI device
3. Memory mapped memory space for system memory, PCI device memory...
Therefore, the PEAK760 will not be able to see 4GB system memory size when installing
4GB DDR2 modules to DRAM socket. The more PCI Add-On card installed, the less
memory size will be support.
