Hence,we recommend you to usetheCPU fan qualified byAMDormotherboard
manufacturer.Meanwhile, pleasemake sureCPU andfanare securelyfastened well.
Otherwise,improper faninstallation notonly getssystemunstable butalso could
damageboth CPU and motherboardbecause insufficient thermal dissipation.

WARNING

Ifyou’ve changed your CPU or overclockedyoursystem, the system may fail tobootup,
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 follow the stepslisted below:
1. Turnoff yourcomputer andunplugthe powercable. Reconnectitafter 30seconds;
2. Press<Insert>andthenpress yourcomputer’sstart button.Continueholding <Insert>
untilthe systembegins thePOST (Power-OnSelfTest);
3. Immediatelypress <Del>to enter theBIOS;
4. Select‘Load Optimized Defaults’to return yoursystemto a bootablecondition; then
select ‘SAVE to CMOS and EXIT’;
5. Rebootyour system.
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
warningyounot toreset orturn offyour computer:
Warning! New setting is updating now
Do not Reset or Shutdown the system
Yoursystem works aftertheBIOS is updated.
NOTICE

Statement of Shuttle Mainboard via the EMI Test
Shuttle mainboards have been via the EMI test in terms of series of regulations: EN55022/
CISPR22/AS/NZS3548Class B, EN55024 (1998/AS/NZS), EN4252.1(1994), EN61000,ANSI
C63.4 (1992), CFR47 Part 15 Subpart B, and CNS13438 (1997). The items tested are illus-
trated as follows:

(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.
