Page 14 Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component.

Page 20 The driving capability of new generation chipset is limited due to the lack of a memory buffer (to improve performance). This makes DRAM chip count an important factor to take into consideration when you install DIMMs. Unfortunately, there is no way that the BIOS can identify the correct chip count;...
Page 21 To identify 2-clock and 4-clock DIMM, you may check if there are traces connected to the golden finger pins 79 and 163 of the SDRAM. If there are traces, the SDRAM is probably 4-clock; otherwise, it is 2-clock. To identify single-side or double-side DIMM, check golden finger pin 114 and pin 129.

Page 26 For ATX system, there is always a standby current on the motherboard. Please make sure that you have unplugged the ATX power cable from the connector before you insert or pull out any CPU, DIMM, PCI and AGP cards. Otherwise, serious component damage may occur.
Page 28 The specification of the IDE cable is a maximum of 46cm (18 inches), make sure your cable does not exceed this length. For better signal quality, it is recommended to set the far end side device to master mode and follow the suggested sequence to install your new device.

Page 83 The F000 and E000 segments are always shadowed because BIOS code occupies these areas.
Page 84 Make sure you fully understand the items contained in this menu before you try to change anything. You may change the parameter settings to improve system performance. However, it may cause your system to be unstable if the setting is not correct for your system configuration.
Page 92 You cannot use both USB driver and USB legacy keyboard at the same time. Disable "USB Keyboard Support" if you have USB driver in the operating system.

Page 134 ) AOpen Easy Flash BIOS programs are designed to be compatible with the Award BIOS. At the date of this note, AOpen Easy Flash BIOS programs are not available for AMI BIOS. AMI BIOS appears mostly only on old 486 boards and some early Pentium boards. Please be sure to view the README compressed inside the BIOS package before upgrading, and follow upgrade instructions carefully.
Page 135 The new BIOS upgrade will permanently replace your original BIOS's settings and PnP information when flashing. You may need to reconfigure your BIOS setting and re-install Win95/Win98 as well as your add-on cards, so that your system can go back to work as normal. ...

Page 137 The design of this product follows CPU and chipset vendor's design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your system or important data. Before doing overclocking, you must make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially CPU, memory, hard disks, and AGP VGA cards. Note that overclocking may also cause thermal problem.
