Caution
1. Be sure to add some Silicone Grease between the Socket A pro-
cessor and FAN to keep them fully contact, meanwhile to meet the
heat sink requirement.
2. because the processor could overheat and damage both the proces-
sor and the motherboard, we recommend that you should have an AMD
authorized fan to prevent overheating.
3. The AC power status of the system is indicated by the red LED under
the three DIMM sockets. If the LED is on , adding or removing device like
SDRAM memory is porhibited.
