Safety information

Electrical safety
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device. Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power cables are unplugged. Seek professional assistance before using an adpater or extension cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit. Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power company. If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.

Operation safety

Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals that came with the package. Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately. To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry. Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area where it may become wet. Place the product on a stable surface. If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.
This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product (electrical, electronic equipment, and mercury-containing button cell battery) should not be placed in municipal waste. Check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

Turning off the computer

Using the OS shut down function
If you are using Windows XP: 1. Click the Start button then select Turn Off Computer. 2. Click the Turn Off button to shut down the computer. 3. The power supply should turn off after Windows shuts down.
If you are using Windows Vista: 1. Click the Start button then select ShutDown. 2. The power supply should turn off after Windows shuts down.
Using the dual function power switch
While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than four seconds puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting. Pressing the power switch for more than four seconds lets the system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.

BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable Low-Pin Count (LPC) chip that you can update using the provided utility described in section 4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS. Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted toRun Setup. This section explains how to configure your system using this utility. Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the LPC chip. The LPC chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed. The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.

This chapter tells how to install SLIready PCI Express graphics cards.
Chapter 6: NVIDIA SLI technology support
Overview... 6-1 Graphics card setup... 6-2
The motherboard supports the NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology that allows you to install up to three identical PCI Express x16 graphics cards. Follow the installation procedures in this section.

Requirements

In Dual SLI mode, you should have two identical SLI-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA certified. In 3-way SLI mode, you should have three identical SLI-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA certified. Make sure that your graphics card driver supports the NVIDIA SLI technology. Download the latest driver from the NVIDIA website (www.nvidia.com). Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the minimum power required by your system. See page 2-31 for details.
The NVIDIA 3-way SLI technology supports Windows Vista operating system only. Visit the NVIDIA zone website (http://www.nzone.com) for the latest certified graphics card and supported 3D application list.

Graphics card setup

Installing three SLI-ready graphics cards
Install only identical SLI-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA-certified. Different types of graphics cards will not work together properly.
To install the graphics cards: 1. Prepare three graphics cards. Each graphics card should have goldfingers for the 3-way SLI bridge connector.

Goldfingers
