(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage

and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.

For example, 4 GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system

startup.

(Note 2) It is recommended to use SATA (1.5Gb/s) hard disks.

(Note 3) To set up an 8 channel audio configuration, you must use Audio Combo Kit (optional device).
