When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully understood and

practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) notch" (show below), please make sure your

AGP card is AGP 4X/8X(1.5V).

AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by VIA K8T800 chipset. You might experience system unable

to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) card.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there

are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the

mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off,

so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without

worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the

screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be

careful, don't let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the

fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Preparing Your Computer

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To

protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever

you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or

other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

power connector on the motherboard.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper

installation of any comfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified computer technician.

Damage to system components, and injury to yourself may result if power is applied during

installation.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.

We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification because

these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the

peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will

depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, SDRAM, Cards…etc.
