WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting

the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using the third-

party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system stability, or even

cause damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be done at

your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by

overclocking.

CAUTION!

1. If you adopt FSB400-CPU on this motherboard, you need to adjust the

jumpers. Please refer to page 11 for proper jumper settings.

2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 26

of “User Manual” in the support CD.

3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 16 for details.

4. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corre-

sponding memory support frequency.

CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency

800 DDR2 400, DDR2 533, DDR2 667

533 DDR2 400, DDR2 533

400 DDR2 400

5. Due to the chipset limitation, the actual memory size may be less than

4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®XP and

Windows®VistaTM.

6. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and

is subject to change. Please check Intel®website for the latest information.

7. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,

6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for

proper connection.

8. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 20 of “User Manual” in the support CD to

adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA

hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

9. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®

VistaTM / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

10. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows®. With

this utility, you can press <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please

be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file

system.

11. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended

to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU

bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the

CPU.

12. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.

Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the

motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it

back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal

grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-

board components or change any motherboard settings.

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

component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

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

antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90oangle.

Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner

matches the base of the socket lever.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU

into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down

the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to

indicate that it is locked.

2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)

2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)

There are 2 PCI slots and 2 PCI Express slots on this motherboard.

PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

PCIE slots:PCIE1 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x1 lane width

cards, such as Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card, etc.

PCIE2 (PCIE x16 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x16 lane

width graphics cards.

If you install the add-on PCI Express VGA card to PCIE2 (PCIE x16 slot),

the onboard VGA will be disabled. If you install the add-on PCI Express

VGA card to PCIE2 (PCIE x16 slot) and adjust the “InternalGraphics

Mode Select” BIOS option to [Enabled, 1MB] or [Enabled, 8MB], the onboard

VGA will be enabled, and the primary screen will be onboard VGA.

Installing an expansion cardInstalling an expansion card

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws
