Welcome

Thank you for buying the IWILL® ZMAXdp barebone! The barebone delivers a host of new features and latest technologies making it another standout in the long line of IWILL quality motherboards!

The barebone combines the powers of the AMD Opteron™ processor and the NVIDIA® nForce3 Pro250 chipset to set a new benchmark for an effective desktop platform solution. Supporting up to 2GB of system memory with PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 registered DDR SDRAM, 300W Power supply, high-performance graphics via an AGP 8X slot, SATA, IEEE1394, USB 2.0, and 6-channel audio features, the barebone takes you ahead in the world of power computing! Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the list below.

The system has good thermal solution. The specially designed CPU cooler supports CPU up to Model 250 (2.4GHz) and Model 240EE (Low-Power, 30W). The system fans also effectively help to exhaust hot air through a complete air flow direction. Built with silicon-on-insulator transistors and copper interconnects. To dissipate the heat it does produce, two big and low speed fans draw air from the bottom of the machine, across the storage, processor, power supply and out the back. It keeps your system stable and quiet.

With the user’s guide’s step-by-step instructions, chassis installation can never be easier. Read this manual, which provides updates and supplemental information about your computer.
