CAUTION!

1. This motherboard supports FSB800-CPU. If you plan to adopt CoreTM 2 Duo CPU on this motherboard, you can only adopt Conroe 800 E4XXX processors.

2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 28 of “User Manual” in the support CD.

3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Plea se re ad “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 19 for details.

4. 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 13 for proper installation.

5. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its corresponding CPU FSB frequency.

CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency

800 DDR266, DDR333 533 DDR266, DDR333

* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at

DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.

6. 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.

7. 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 in stall the PC system.

8. The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] slot is a special design that only supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For the information of the compatible AGP VGA cards, please refer to the “Supported AGP VGA Cards List” on page 8 and page 9. For the proper installation of AGP VGA card, please refer to the installation guide on page 14.

9. Because the installed AMR card will occupy the same external connecting position with the PCI card that are installed in “PCI3” slot, you will not be able to install any PCI card in “PCI3” slot if an AMR card has already been installed in the AMR slot.

10. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft Windows® 98 / ME.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard 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.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the

motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

775-Pin Socket Overview

Before you insert the 775-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

ASRock ConRoe865GV Motherboard

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

down and out on the hook to clear retention tab.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-

sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-

sition at approximately 100 degrees.

Step 2. Insert the 775-Pin CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated

Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket

by using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket

and properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):

Use your left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in removal.

Installation of CPU Fan and HeatsinkInstallation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-Pin CPU. Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure

fan cables are oriented on side closest to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard (CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 5).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard

throughholes.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press

down on fastener caps with thumb to install and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise, the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure

cable does not interfere with fan operation or

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

ConRoe865GV motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Cha nnel Me mory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chiptype) memory modules in the DDR DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology .

Installing a DIMM

Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the bre a k

on the slot.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

There are 3 PCI slots, 1 AMR slot, and 1 AGI slot on this motherboard. PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

Because the installed AMR card will occupy the same external connecting position with the PCI card installed in “PCI3” slot, you will no be able to install any PCI card in “PCI3” slot if an AMR card has already been installed in the AMR slot.

AMR slot: AMR slot is used to insert an ASRock MR card (optional) with v.92

Modem functionality.

AGI slot: The AGI [ASRock Graphics Interface] slot is a special design that only

supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For the information of the compatible AGP VGA cards, plea se refer to the “Supported AGP V GA Cards List” on page 8 and page 9.

To install the system with an add-on AGP VGA card, you must make sure to install the driver of add-on AGP VGA card before you install the onboard VGA driver. If the onboard VGA driver has already been installed before you install the add-on AGP VGA card, the system will automatically set the onboard V GA as the primary gra phics a d apter. In that case, if you want to install the add-on AGP VGA card, you need to remove the onboard VGA driver first, and then install the add-on AGP VGA card and its driver. For the detailed instruction, please refer to the documents in the Support CD, “AGI Slot Installation Guide (for Windows 2000)” and “AGI Slot Installation Guide (for Windows XP)”, which are located in the folder at the following path:
