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 thirdparty 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. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.

2. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 12 for proper installation.

3. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+ CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR2 1066 memory module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for the compatible memory modules. ASRock website http://www.asrock.com

4. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP and Windows® VistaTM. For Windows® XP 64-bit and Windows® VistaTM 64bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

5. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check AMD website for the latest information.

6. Before installing SAT AII hard disk to SATAII conne ctor, please rea d the “SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 26 of “User Manual” in the support CD to adjust your SA TAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

To use Intelligent Energy Saver function, please enable Cool ‘n’ Quiet option in the BIOS setup in advance. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of Intelligent Energy Saver. ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

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

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS 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 preparing 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. The software name itself – OC DNA literally tells you what it is capable of.

OC DNA, an exclusive utility developed by ASRock, provides a convenient way for the user to record the OC settings and share with others. It helps you to save your overclocking record under the operating system and simplifies the complicated recording process of overclocking settings. With OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a profile and share with your friends! Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system to get the same OC settings as yours! Please be noticed that the OC profile can only be shared and worked on the same motherboard.

12. 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.

13. 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 a nd the he atsink when you install the PC syste m.

14. This motherboard supports ASRock AM2 Boost overclocking technology. If

you enable this function in the BIOS setup, the memory performance will improve up to 12.5%, but the effect still depends on the AM2 CPU you adopt. Enabling this function will overclock the chipset/CPU reference clock. However, we can not guarantee the system stability for all CPU/DRAM configurations. If your system is unstable after AM2 Boost function is enabled, it may not be applicative to your system. You may choose to disable this function for keeping the stability of your system.

15. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, wa s a provision regulated by European

Union to define the power consumption for the completed system. According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready motherboard and an

ASRock A780LM-S Motherboard

EuP ready power supply are required. According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard of 5v standby power efficiency is higher than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power supply selection, we recommend you checking with the power supply manufacturer for more details.

WARNUNG

Beachten Sie bitte, dass Overclocking, einschließlich der Einstellung im BIOS, Anwenden der Untied Overclocking-Technologie oder Verwenden von Overclocking-Werkzeugen von Dritten, mit einem gewissen Risiko behaftet ist. Overclocking kann sich nachteilig auf die Stabilität Ihres Systems auswirken oder sogar Komponenten und Geräte Ihres Systems beschädigen. Es geschieht dann auf eigene Gefahr und auf Ihre Kosten. Wir übernehmen keine Verantwortung für mögliche Schäden, die aufgrund von Overclocking verursacht wurden.

VORSICHT!

1. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die Untied-Übertaktungstechnologie. Unter “Entkoppelte Übertaktungstechnologie” auf Seite 42 finden Sie detaillierte Informationen.

2. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 33 zwecks richtiger Installation gelesen haben.

3. Ob die Speichergeschwindigkeit 1066 MHz unterstützt wird, hängt von der von Ihnen eingesetzten AM2+-CPU ab. Schauen Sie bitte auf unseren Internetseiten in der Liste mit unterstützten Speichermodulen nach, wenn Sie DDR2 1066-Speichermodule einsetzen möchten. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

4. Durch Betriebssystem-Einschränkungen kann die tatsächliche Speichergröße weniger als 4 GB betragen, da unter Windows® XP und Windows® Vista™ etwa s Speicher zur Nutzung durch das System reserviert wird. Unter Windows® XP 64-bit und Windows® Vista™ 64-bit mit 64-Bit-CPU besteht diese Einschränkung nicht.

5. Die Maximalspeichergröße ist von den Chipshändler definiert und umgetauscht. Bitte überprüfen Sie AMD website für die neuliche Information.

ASRock A780LM-S Motherboard

6. Vor Installation der SATAII-Festplatte an den SATAII-Anschluss lesen Sie bitte “Setup-Anleitung für SATAII-Festplatte” auf Seite 26 der “Bedienungsanleitung” auf der Support-CD, um Ihre SATAII-Festplatte dem SATAII-Modus anzugleichen. Sie können die SATA-Festplatte auch direkt mit dem SATAII-Anschluss verbinden.

7. Das Power Management für USB 2.0 arbeitet unter Microsoft® Windows VistaTM 64-Bit / VistaTM / XP 64-Bit / XP SP1 oder SP2 einwandfrei.

8. Es ist ein benutzerfreundlicher ASRock Übertaktenswerkzeug, das erlaubt, dass Sie Ihr System durch den Hardware-Monitor Funktion zu überblicken und Ihre Hardware-Geräte übertakten, um die beste Systemleistung unter der Windows® Umgebung zu erreichen. Besuchen Sie bitte unsere Website für die Operationsverfahren von ASRock OC Tuner. ASRock-Website: http://www.asrock.com

9. Mit einer eigenen, modernen Hardware und speziellem Softwaredesign, bietet der Intelligent Energy Saver eine revolutionäre Technologie zur bisher unerreichten Energieeinsparung. Ein Spannungsregler kann die Anzahl von Ausgangsphasen zur Effektivitätsverbessserung reduzieren, wenn sich die CPU im Leerlauf befindet. Mit anderen Worten: Sie genießen außergewöhnliche Energieeinsparung und verbesserten Wirkungsgrad ohne Leistungseinschränkungen. Wenn Sie die Intelligent Energy Saver-Funktion nutzen möchten, aktivieren Sie zuvor die „Cool ‘n’ Quiet“-Option im BIOS. Weitere Bedienungshinweise zum Intelligent Energy Saver finden Sie auf unseren Internetseiten. ASRock-Internetseite:

10. ASRock Instant Flash ist ein im Flash-ROM eingebettetes BIOS-FlashProgramm. Mithilfe dieses praktischen BIOS-Aktualisierungswerkzeugs können Sie das System-BIOS aktualisieren, ohne dafür zuerst Betriebssysteme wie MS-DOS oder Windows® aufrufen zu müssen. Mit diesem Programm bekommen Sie durch Drücken der <F6>-Taste während des POST-Vorgangs oder durch Drücken der <F2>-Taste im BIOS-Setup-Menü Zugang zu ASRock Instant Flash. Sie brauchen dieses Werkzeug einfach nur zu starten und die neue BIOS-Datei auf Ihrem USB-Flash-Laufwerk, Diskettenlaufwerk oder der Festplatte zu speichern, und schon können Sie Ihr BIOS mit nur wenigen Klickvorgängen ohne Bereitstellung einer zusätzlichen Diskette oder eines anderen komplizierten Flash-Programms a ktualisieren. Achten Sie darauf, dass das USB-Flash-Laufwerk oder die Festplatte das Dateisystem FAT32/16/12 benutzen muss.

11. Allein der Name – OC DNA* – beschreibt es wörtlich, was die Software zu leisten vermag. OC DNA ist ein von ASRock exklusiv entwickeltes Dienstprogramm, das Nutzern eine bequeme Möglichkeit bietet, Übertaktungseinstellungen aufzuzeichnen und sie Anderen mitzuteilen. Es hilft Ihnen, Ihre Übertaktungsaufzeichnung im Betriebssystem zu speichern und vereinfacht den komplizierten Aufzeichnungsvorgang von Übertaktungseinstellungen. Mit OC DNA können Sie Ihre Übertaktungseinstellungen als Profil abspeichern und Ihren Freunden zugänglich machen! Ihre Freunde können dann das Übertaktungsprofil auf ihren eigenen Systemen laden, um dieselben

Übertaktungseinstellungen. Mit OC DNA können Sie Ihre Übertaktungseinstellungen als Profil abspeichern und Ihren Freunden zugänglich machen! Ihre Freunde können dann das Übertaktungsprofil auf ihren eigenen Systemen laden, um dieselben Übertaktungseinstellungen wie Sie zu erhalten! Beachten Sie bitte, dass das Übertaktungsprofil nur bei einem identischen Motherboard gemeinsam genutzt und funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann. Übertaktungseinstellungen wie Sie zu erhalten! Beachten Sie bitte, dass das Übertaktungsprofil nur bei einem identischen Motherboard gemeinsam genutzt und funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann.

12. Obwohl dieses Motherboard stufenlose Steuerung bietet, wird

Overclocking nicht empfohlen. Frequenzen, die von den empfohlenen CPU-Busfrequenzen abweichen, können Instabilität des Systems verursachen oder die CPU beschädigen.

13. Wird eine Überhitzung der CPU registriert, führt das System einen

automatischen Shutdown durch. Bevor Sie das System neu starten, prüfen Sie bitte, ob der CPU-Lüfter am Motherboard richtig funktioniert, und stecken Sie bitte den Stromkabelstecker aus und dann wieder ein. Um die Wärmeableitung zu verbessern, bitte nicht vergessen, etwas Wärmeleitpaste zwischen CPU und Kühl körper zu sprühen.

14. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die ASRock AM2 Boost

Übertaktungstechnologie. Wenn Sie diese Funktion im BIOS-Setup aktivieren, wird die Arbeitsspeicherleistung um bis zu 12,5% gesteigert. Die Wirkung hängt aber von der verwendeten AM2 CPU ab. Diese Funktion übertaktet die Standardfrequenz des Chipsatz und der CPU. Dennoch gewähren wir die Systemstabilität nicht bei allen CPU/DRAMKonfigurationen. Wird Ihr System nach dem Aktivieren der AM2 BoostFunktion unstabil, dann ist diese Funktion wahrscheinlich nicht für Ihr System geeignet. Sie können diese Funktion deaktivieren, um die Stabilität Ihres System zu bewahren.

15. EuP steht für Energy Using Product und kennzeichnet die Ökodesign-

Richtlinie, die von der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zur Festlegung des Energieverbrauchs von vollständigen Systemen in Kraft gesetzt wurde. Gemäß dieser Ökodesign-Richtlinie (EuP) muss der gesamte Netzstromverbrauch von vollständigen Systemen unter 1,00 Watt liegen, wenn sie ausgeschaltet sind. Um dem EuP-Standard zu entsprechen, sind ein EuP-fähiges Motherboard und eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung erforderlich. Gemäß einer Empfehlung von Intel muss eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung dem Standard entsprechen, was bedeutet, dass bei einem Stromverbrauch von 100 mA die 5-Volt-Standby-Energieeffizienz höher als 50% sein sollte. Für die Wahl einer EuP-fähigen Stromversorgung empfehlen wir Ihnen, weitere Details beim Hersteller der Stromversorgung abzufragen.
