Important Notification about Power Issue
NForce chipset is very sensitive to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), therefore
this issue mostly happens while the users intensively swap memory modules under
S5 (power-off) states, and the power code is plugged while installing modules. Due
to several pins are very sensitive to ESD, so this kind of memory-replacement actions
might cause system chipset unable to boot. Please follow the following solution to
avoid this situation.
Unplug the AC power cable (shown in figure 1) or unplug the ATX1, PW R1 and
JPW R1 power connectors (the figure 2 & 3 are for referance only) before the 1st
installation or during system upgrade procedure.
