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

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

G41MH/USB3 R2.0 motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory module s in the DD R3 DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

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

2. If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory modules, it is unable to a ctivate the Dual Cha nnel Memory Technology .

Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM

Installing 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.

HDCP Function

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP function with this motherboard, you need to adopt the monitor that supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy the superior display quality with high-definition HDCP encryption contents. Please refer to below instruction for more details about HDCP function.

What is HDCP?

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a specification developed by Intel® for protecting digital entertainment content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of intercepting digital data midstream between the video source, or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box - and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television or projector. In other words, HDCP specification is designed to protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you enable Untied Overclocking function, plea se enter “Overclock Mode” option of BIOS setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [Manual]. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment.

Please refer to the warning on page 7 for the possible overclocking risk before you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.

VORSICHT!

1. Die Einstellung der “Hyper-Threading Technology”, finden Sie auf Seite 37 des auf der Support-CD enthaltenen Benutzerhandbuches beschrieben.

2. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die Untied-Übertaktungstechnologie. Unter “Entkoppelte Übertaktungstechnologie” auf Seite 23 finden Sie detaillierte Informationen.

3. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 13 zwecks richtiger Installation gelesen haben.

4. Die unterstützten Arbeitsspeicherfrequenzen und die entsprechende CPU FSB-Frequenz entnehmen Sie bitte der nachstehenden Tabelle.

Mit anderen Worten: Sie verbrauchen besonders wenig Energie und erreichen einen hohen Wirkungsgrad, ohne dass dies zu Lasten der Rechenleistung geht. Auf unseren Internetseiten finden Sie einige Erläuterungen zur Funktionsweise des Intelligent Energy Saver. ASRock-Website: http://www.asrock.com

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 aktualisieren. 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.
