NOTE
1) Be sure to check the cable orientation in order to match the coloured strip
to the pin 1 end of the connector.
2) When you start up the system, please wait for 5 seconds after you power
onAC.
3) Adding a metal spaced plate to the back of the Socket 940 is not
recommended as this will short motherboard components and damage
the system.
