CAUTION!
1. To support FSB1066, please use DDR400 DIMMs (Double  Data Rate 400
MHz). Before installing FSB1066 CPU, please make sure that you have
adjusted the jumpers correctly. The default setting of FSB1 is shorting
pin1 and pin2. However, if you want to support FSB1066 CPU, please
adjust your FSB1 jumper setting, and short pin2 and pin3.
2. About the setting of  “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 25
in the support CD.
3. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.

DDR266, DDR320*, DDR400
DDR266, DDR333
DDR400*
* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.
4. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 10 for proper installation.
5. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal
grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.
6. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
7. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP
SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/
ME.
8. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,
6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for
proper connection.

Pre-installation  Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-
board components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet
or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch
a safety grounded object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
5. When  placing  screws  into  the  screw  holes  to  secure  the
motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the
screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if
the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.
Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is
found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-
sition at approximately 135 degrees.
Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-
sition at approximately 100 degrees.
Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:
Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are
marked with black lines.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket
by using a purely vertical motion.
Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket
and properly mated to the orient keys.
Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):
Use your left hand index finger and thumb to
support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap
with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the
socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to
assist in removal.
