NOTE
Regardless of the DIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal
to or less than the processor system bus frequency. For example, if DDR2 667
memory is used with a 533 MHz system bus frequency processor, the memory
will operate at 533 MHz.
Table 2 lists the resulting operating memory
frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.

Section 1.7.2 Audio Connectors:
INTEGRATOR’S NOTES
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage desktop board components. Front-
panel connectors should provide sufficient protection to prevent ESD damage to
components inside the chassis enclosure.
