1.3 Unique Features

ASRock Rack Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. is con-

venient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operat-

ing systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. With this utility, you can press the <F6>

key during the POST or the <F2> key to enter into the BIOS setup menu to access

ASRock Rack Instant Flash. Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS le to your

USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a

few clicks without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash

utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12

le system.

Chapter 2 Installation

is is an ATX form factor (12” x 9.6”, 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before you install

the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard

ts into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the moth erboard . Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard c omponents.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Attention! Before installing this motherboard, be sure to unsc rew and remove the standos at the marked location, un der the motherboard, from the chassis, in order to avoid electrical shor t circuit and damage to your motherboard.

Rear I/O

Remove the standoff from the chassis

English

Do not over-tighte n the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the follow ing precautions before you install motherboard components or

change any motherboard settings.

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

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s 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 the compo-

nents.

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

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static 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.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that th e power is switched o or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may c ause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

English

2.3 Installing the CPU and Heatsink

1. Before you insert the CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the socket , if the CPU sur face is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket . Do not force to inser t the CPU into the socket if above situation is found . Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power c ables before ins talling the CPU.

Installing an expansion card

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

supply is switched o 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 system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed

in a chassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the

screws for later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

Step 6. Replace the system cover.

SATA DOM Power Jumper

(3-pin SATA PWR 1)

(see p.6, No. 33)

Consult the documentation that comes with your SATA DOM and check whethe r or not Pin 7 requires 5V powe r supply.

If the connected SATA DOM requires 5V power supply, move the jumper caps pl aced on th e SATA DOM Power Jumper (SATAPWR1) from pin s 2-3 (default) to pins 1-2.

If the connected SATA DOM does NOT require 5V power supply, connect the SATA DOM power cable to the SATA DOM power header (SATAPWR1) and there is no need to change the default jumpe r setting of the SATA DOM Power Jumper (pin s 2-3).

Warning! Incorrect setting of the SATA DOM Power Jumper (SATAPWR1) may cau se damage to the motherboard or your SATA DOM.

2.7 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these heade rs and connectors. Plac ing jumper caps over the hea ders and connectors will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.

(see p.6, No. 23)

PWRBTN (Power Swi tch):

Connec t to the power switch on the chassis f ront panel. You may congure the way to turn o your system using the powe r switch .

RESET (Reset Sw itch): Connec t to the reset switch on the cha ssis front panel. Pre ss the reset switch to restar t the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (Syste m Power LED): Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassi s front panel. e LED is on when the system is operating. e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED): Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity LED on the chassis f ront panel. e LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data .

e front panel design may dier by chassis . A front panel module mainly consists of powe r switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive a ctivit y LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your ch assis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assig nments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.

continue with its test routines.

If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY a er POST, restart the system by pressing

<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You may

also restart by turning the system o and then back on.
