Safety Instructons
Always read the safety nstructons carefully.
Keep ths Users Manual for future reference.
Keep ths equpment away from humdty.
Lay ths equpment on a relable fat surface before settng t up.
The openngs on the enclosure are for ar convecton hence protects the equpment
from overheatng. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
Make sure the voltage of the power source s at 110/220V before connectng the
equpment to the power nlet.
Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on t. Do not place
anythng over the power cord.
Always Unplug the Power Cord before nsertng any add-on card or module.
All cautons and warnngs on the equpment should be noted.
Never pour any lqud nto the openng that can cause damage or cause electrcal
shock.
If any of the followng stuatons arses, get the equpment checked by servce
personnel:
The power cord or plug s damaged.
Lqud has penetrated nto the equpment.
The equpment has been exposed to mosture.

FCC-B Rado Frequency Interference Statement
Ths equpment has been tested and found
to comply wth the lmts for a Class B dg-
tal devce, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These lmts are desgned to provde
reasonable protecton aganst harmful nter-
ference n a resdental nstallaton. Ths equpment generates, uses and can radate
rado frequency energy and, f not nstalled and used n accordance wth the nstruc-
tons, may cause harmful nterference to rado communcatons. However, there s no
guarantee that nterference wll not occur n a partcular nstallaton. If ths equpment
does cause harmful nterference to rado or televson recepton, whch can be deter-
mned by turnng the equpment of and on, the user s encouraged to try to correct the
nterference by one or more of the measures lsted below.
Reorent or relocate the recevng antenna.
Increase the separaton between the equpment and recever.
Connect the equpment nto an outlet on a crcut dferent from that to whch the
recever s connected.
Consult the dealer or an experenced rado/televson techncan for help.
Notce 1
The changes or modfcatons not expressly approved by the party responsble for com-
plance could vod the users authorty to operate the equpment.

CPU (CENTRAL PROCESSlNG UNlT)
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.
If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.

Important
Overheatng
Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng
fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to
enhance heat dsspaton.
Replacng the CPU
Whle replacng the CPU, always turn of the ATX power supply or unplug the power
supplys power cord from the grounded outlet frst to ensure the safety of CPU.
Overclockng
Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any
attempt to operate beyond product specfcatons s not recommended. We do not guar-
antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-
fcatons.

CPU & Cooler Installaton
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top
to prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU
before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsperson.
Follow the steps below to nstall the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong nstallaton wll
cause the damage of your CPU & manboard.
Pull the lever sdeways away from
the socket. Make sure to rase the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
1. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.
The gold arrow should pont as shown
n the pcture. The CPU can only ft n
the correct orentaton.
2.
If the CPU s correctly nstalled, the
pns should be completely embedded
nto the socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any volaton of the
correct nstallaton procedures may
cause permanent damages to your
manboard.
3. Press the CPU down frmly nto the
socket and close the lever. As the
CPU s lkely to move whle the lever
s beng closed, always close the
lever wth your fngers pressng tghtly
on top of the CPU to make sure the
CPU s properly and completely
embedded nto the socket.

Poston the coolng set onto the
retenton mechansm.
Hook one end of the clp to hook

5. Then press down the other end of the
clp to fasten the coolng set on the
top of the retenton mechansm.
Locate the Fx Lever and lft up t .
6.
Fasten down the lever. 7. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU
fan connector on the manboard.
8.
Important
Whle dsconnectng the Safety Hook from the fxed bolt, t s necessary to keep an eye
on your fngers, because once the Safety Hook s dsconnected from the fxed bolt, the

The ntegrated one SATA host controller separately, and
support RAID functon for performance and relablty.
SB710 SATA RAID (SATA1~5) provdes support for
RAID 0 (Strpng), RAID 1 (Mrrorng) & RAID 10 (Strpng
& Mrrorng). RAID 0 greatly mproves hard dsk I/O per-
formance by concurrently strpng data across multple
drves. RAID 1 makes sure data s not lost f a drve fals
as data s smultaneously wrtten to two drves. Drves
confgured for RAID Strpng are sad to form a RAID 0
set, whle drves confgured for RAID Mrrorng are sad
to form a RAID 1 set. RAID 10 s mplemented as a mr-
rored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays. RAID
10 has same fault tolerance as mrrorng and reduces
overhead by strpng. It needs at least four drves to form
a RAID 10.
