Page 19 Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.
Page 21 Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the system case covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers. This will depend on the system case being used.
Page 24 Note: If an ATA-100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
Page 25 Connect the locking cable end to the motherboard connector. Connect the end without the lock to the SATA device.
Page 26 Note: Some system cases do not have all four cables. Be sure to match the name on the connectors to the corresponding pins.
