This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digi -
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in-
stalled and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not oc-
cur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
−
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
−
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
−
Connect the equipment onto an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
−
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interconnect cables and a shielded AC power cable must be employed with
this equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing
this device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the system's manu-
facturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

We strongly recommend that you do not overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed. Warning: Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Overclocking can per- manently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.

Page 17: Installing Memory Modules
Installing Memory Modules For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered Dual In-line Mem- ory Modules (DIMMs). The memory bus can run at 66 MHz, 100 MHz or 133 MHz. If your processor operates over a 133 MHz FSB (frontside bus), you can install PC133 or PC100 memory modules that operate over a 133 or 100 MHz bus. -

Page 20: Installing Add-On Cards
Plug the FDD cable into FLOPPY1 (A): Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connec- tor. - Page 21 Follow these instructions to install an add-on card: Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you are going to use. Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge con- nector is correctly seated in the slot.
