WARNING

Ifyou’ve changedyour CPUor overclockedyour system,the system mayfail toboot up,
even with a Clear CMOS jumper physically resetted. The reason is that NVIDIA’s new
nForce2 chipset introduces a way to reset a Clear CMOS jumper without removing a
chassis.Please followthesteps listedbelow:
1. Turnoffyour computerandunplugthe powercable.Reconnect it after30seconds;
2. Press<Insert>andthenpressyourcomputer’sstart button. Continueholding <Insert>
untilthesystem beginsthePOST(Power-On Self Test);
3. Immediatelypress<Del> toenterthe BIOS;
4. Select‘Load OptimizedDefaults’to returnyoursystem toabootable condition;then
select ‘SAVE to CMOS and EXIT’;
5. Rebootyoursystem.
Moreover, if your system fails to boot up after you reset the CPU FSB, select “SAVE to
CMOS and EXIT” in the BIOS.After the system restarts, there is on screen a message
warningyounotto reset orturnoffyourcomputer:
Warning! New setting is updating now
Do not Reset or Shutdown the system
Yoursystem worksafterthe BIOSis updated.

(D) Supported Host Peripherals:
(E) Notices for Assembling Computers:
1. Cases should be made of iron or other metal that has good electric conductivity.
2. Cylinders in a case should be made of metal, and as having a mainboard mounted
in a case, make sure screws are all utilized and fastened on a mainboard.
3. An I/O shielding should be contacted with I/O metallic parts of a mainboard.
4. Cables should appropriately be arranged and fixed in a case. Follow instructions:
Ø Leave IDE cables not crossed upon CPU and SDRAM;
Ø Leave power cables minimum in length, and not crossed upon a mainboard;
Ø Leave CPU fan cables minimum in length, and not near CPU;
Ø Leave cables on panels and other spare cables tied in a computer case.
5. Make sure an EMI shielding attached to a case has properly been installed.
6. Make sure a 5.25" or 3.5" FDD and screws are fastened to an EMI shielding.
7. Make sure a case is closely in contact with EMI connected points.
8. Make sure there is no cleft in a case which is not deformed.
9. Make sure a PCI orAGP door is bound to a case.
10. Make sure cables of other devices (fans or some others) are fixed in a case.
