Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. 1.Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. 2.Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component.

  • Page 26 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, you need to calculate the chip count by yourself.
  • Page 27 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 146 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, DRAMs, hard disks, and AGP VGA cards.
