Caut on

To avoid damage to the system:

 Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

 Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis

cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,

cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:

 Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

 Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by

the manufacturer.

 Dispose of used batteries according to the battery

manufacturers instructions.

Joystick or MIDI port:

 Do not use any joystick or MIDI device that requires more than

10A current at 5V DC. There is a risk of fire for devices that

exceed this limit.

FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to tr y 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 into 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.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority

to operate the equipment.

. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with

the emission limits.

Expansion Slots

The system board is equipped with 1 universal AGP slot. AGP is an

interface designed to support high performance 3D graphics cards. It

utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system memory for texturing,

z-buffering and alpha blending. The universal AGP slot supports AGP

x with up to 533MB/sec. bandwidth and AGP 4x with up to

1066MB/sec. bandwidth for 3D graphics applications. AGP in this

system board will deliver faster and better graphics to your PC.

The system board is also equipped with dedicated PCI slots and
