CAUTION!

1. According to SiS official document, SiS 746FX and SiS 748

chipsets have limitation as below:

SiS 746FX:

CPU at FSB 200MHz mode, it will not support DDR400;

CPU at FSB 333MHz mode, it will not support DDR200.

SiS 748:

CPU at FSB 200MHz mode, it will not support DDR400;

CPU at FSB 333MHz mode, it will not support DDR200;

CPU at FSB 400MHz mode, it will not support DDR200 / DDR266

2. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automati-

cally shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the

motherboard functions properly before you resume the

system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray

thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you

install the PC system.

3. Do NOT insert a 3.3V AGP card into the AGP slot of K7S8X or

K7S8XE motherboard! It may cause permanent damage!

4. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®

Windows®XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft®

Windows®98/ME/2000. Please refer to Microsoft®official

document at

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

5. Although K7S8X / K7S8XE offers stepless control, it is not

recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU

frequency of K7S8X / K7S8XE is set to perform over clocking,

other clocks, such as PCI clock, AGP clock, and Memory

clock will also be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies

other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may

cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU.

Chapter 2 Installation

K7S8X / K7S8XE is an ATX form factor (12.0" x 7.5", 30.5 x 19.0 cm) motherboard.

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-

sure that the motherboard fits into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or

removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical

injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the

chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the

motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER

place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use

a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle

components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or

in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power

is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.

Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,

peripherals, and/or components.
