Manual Objectives

This manual describes in detail the BCM MX965Q mainboard.

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to

interface with MX965Q or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary

information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are

confident, you contact your supplier for guidance.

Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that

make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the

description of the Jumper Settings for details).

If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform

us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

Safety Precautions

Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis

whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections

while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be

damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics

personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before

touching the mainboard. Modern electronic devices are very

sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a

grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components

in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are

not in the chassis.
