[. . . ] Make sure the I/O shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package. Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the motherboard to be securely attached, and at the same time, prevent the system from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis base: (1) with studs, or (2) with spacers. [. . . ] In order to prevent bent pin, PUT ON the cap after operation or testing. Rotate the fastener clock-wise to lock the heatsink and fan assembly into position. Attach the four-pin power plug from the heatsink and fan assembly to the CPU FAN connector. A higher fan speed will be helpful for better airflow and heat-dissipation. Nevertheless, stay alert to touch any heatsink since the high temperature generated by the working system is still possible. Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup required after adding or removing memory modules, but you will have to clear the CMOS memory first if any memory module related problem occurs. Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before installing or removing memory modules. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, keep away from touching its connectors. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly. The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1 on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector. The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the FDC1 port and the floppy connector. Each of the IDE port connects up to two IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by one 40-pin, 80-conductor, and 3-connector Ultra ATA/66 ribbon cables. Connect the single end (blue connector) at the longer length of ribbon cable to the IDE port of this board, the other two ends (gray and black connector) at the shorter length of the ribbon cable to the connectors of your hard drives. Make sure to configure the "Master" and "Slave" relation before connecting two drives by one single ribbon cable. The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the IDE port and the hard-drive connector. Each SATA connector serves as one single channel to connect one SATA device by SATA cable. Attach the SATA power cable to the SATA device and connect the other end from the power supply. [. . . ] Power supply wattage: Type in the power wattage of your power supply unit. Example 1: WD Caviar WD600 60GB (on IDE2 master), Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA 300GB (on SATA 3) Example 2: Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA 300GB *2 (on SATA 3, SATA 4 RAID 1) Optical devices: Type in the brand and specifications of your optical drives and quantity. Other devices: Indicate which add-on cards or USB devices that you absolutely sure are related to the problem. If you cannot identify the problem's origin, indicate all the add-on cards or USB devices inserted on your system. [. . . ]
