Environmental Safety Instruction

⚫Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in

any area where it may become wet.

⚫0 to 60 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request

of the main chipset)

⚫Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact

malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from

the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go

through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold

environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water

drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about

phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation

from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the

components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.

⚫The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.

Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher

temperature in the inner of the case.

⚫Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may

decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

* Note: 1. Many PCs now include XHCI USB controllers which allow for the support of USB 3.0 and higher USB

speeds. This inclusion of XHCI controllers has lessened the need for EHCI USB controllers within platforms.

However, legacy operating systems (OS) may not natively recognize XHCI controllers. You might need to

pre-install XHCI driver while desiring to install a non-xHCI OS (ex.Windows* 7) on Intel platforms which do not

include EHCI controllers. Please contact your representative for more details. 2. Braswell SOC will support

memory speed at 1600 MHz and 1066 MHz only. If 1333 MHz DIMM is installed, it will run at 1066 MHz. It is not

validated while installing 1066MHz DIMM with this SOC.

Warning!

The board has a DC 12V power connector (DCIN) in I/O back panel and an internal ATX12V

(ATX2P) power connector. User can only connect one type of compatible power supply to one

of them to power the system.
