Static Electricity Precautions

1. Don’t take this motherboard and components out of their original

static-proof package until you are ready to install them.

2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If

you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching

the bare metal of the system chassis.

3. Carefully hold this motherboard by its edges. Do not touch those

components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this motherboard

on the top of static-protection package with component side facing

up while installing.

Pre-Installation Inspection

1. Inspect this motherboard whether there are any damages to compo-

nents and connectors on the board.

2. If you suspect this motherboard has been damaged, do not connect

power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor about those

Notice:

1. Owing to Microsoft’s certifying schedule is various to every supplier,

we might have some drivers not certified yet by Microsoft. There-

fore, it might happen under Windows XP that a dialogue box (shown

as below) pops out warning you this software has not passed Win-

dows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.

Please rest assured that our RD department has already tested and

verified these drivers. Just click the “ContinueAnyway” button and

go ahead the installation.

2. USB 2.0 Driver Limitations:

2-1. The USB 2.0 driver only supports Windows XP and Windows

2000.

2-2. If you connect a USB 2.0 hub to the root hub, plugging USB devices

into this hub, the system might not successfully execute certain USB

devices’ connection because it could not recognize these devices.
