Overclocking may aect your system’s stability, or even c ause damage to the components and dev ices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage cau sed by overclocking.

1. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 8.1 / 8 / 7 / XP. For Windows® 64bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that Windows® cannot use.

2. HDMI and DisplayPort 1.2 cannot output at the same time . You can only cho ose either one of them. Plea se refer to the BIOS setup option “HDMI/DP Switch“ on page 40.

ASRock WiFi 2.4GHz Antenna

WiFi-802.11n module supports Station mode. You can use the wireless function to

connect the access point (AP), or connect with other stations in the wireless range

instead. ere are two choices provided in station mode: Infrastructure mode

and Ad-hoc mode. Please read below introduction for the dierences of these two

modes.

English

Infrastructure Mode

If you have a present access point (AP) in your wireless network environment for

this station to join, you can set up WiFi-802.11n module in Infrastructure mode.

In this mode, WiFi-802.11n module acts as a wireless adapter. In other words, it is

centered on an AP that provides Internet access and LAN communication for the

wireless stations, such as PC, notebook and other devices.

Ad-hoc Mode

If you don’t have a present access point in your wireless network environment, you

can set up WiFi-802.11n module in Ad-hoc mode. e wireless network brings

together workstations, PC, notebook and other devices for wireless communication.

* e transmission speed may vary according to the environment.

QC5000-ITX/WiFi QC5000-ITX

Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Mini-ITX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,

study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.

•

Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard

components.

In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,

•

NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded

wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

•

Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or

•

in the bag that comes with the components.

When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-

•

tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

English

2.1 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots.

It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent dam age to the mothe rboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incor rect orientation .

English

QC5000-ITX/WiFi QC5000-ITX

English

2.2 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 2 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Plea se read the documentation of the expan sion card and mak e necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.

MPCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot) is used for WiFi module.

English

2.3 Jumpers Setup

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper

is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”

when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.10, No. 3)

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system

parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear

the CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when
