•
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.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)
is motherboard provides two 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install id entical (the same
brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.
2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one memory
module instal led.
3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4
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 .

3.3 Enabling USB Ports for Windows® 7 Installation
Intel® Braswell and Skylake has removed their support for the Enhanced Host
Controller Interface (EHCI – USB2.0) and only kept the eXtensible Host Controller
Interface (XHCI – USB3.0). Due to that fact that XHCI is not included in the
Windows 7 inbox drivers, users may nd it dicult to install Windows 7 operating
system because the USB ports on their motherboard won’t work. In order for the
USB ports to function properly, please create a Windows® 7 installation disk with
the Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) drivers packed into the ISO
le.
Requirements
A Windows® 7 installation disk or USB drive
•
USB 3.0 drivers (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)
•
A Windows® PC
•
Win7 USB Patcher (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)
•
Scenarios
You have an ODD and PS/2 ports:
If there is an optical disc drive, PS/2 ports and PS/2 Keyboard or mouse on your computer,
you can skip the instructions below and go ahead to install Windows® 7 OS.
You only have an ODD (For Intel Skylake platforms only):
If there is an optical disc drive but no PS/2 ports on your computer, please enable the “PS/2
Simulator” option in UEFI SETUP UTILITY > Advanced > USB Conguration, which
allows the USB port to function as a PS/2 port, and then you can install the Windows® 7
OS. Please set PS/S Simulator back to disabled aer the installation.
You’ve got nothing:
If you do not have an optical disc drive, please nd another computer and follow the
instructions below to create a new ISO le with the “Win7 USB Patcher”. en use the new
patched Windows® 7 installation USB drive to install Windows® 7 OS.

Step 2
Extract the tool (Win7 USB Patcher) and launch it.
Step 3
Select the “Win7 Folder” from Step1 by clicking the red circle as shown as the picture
below.
Step 4
Select the “USB Driver Folder” by clicking the red circle as shown as the picture below.
English

Step 5
Select where to save the ISO le by pressing the red circle as shown as the picture below.
Step 6
If you want to burn the patched image to a CD, please check “Burn Image” and select “Target
Device to Burn”. If not, the patched ISO image will be exported to the destination selected
in Step5. en Press “Start” to proceed.
Step 7
Now you are able to install Windows® 7 on Braswell or Skylake with the new burned CD.
Or please use the patched ISO image to make an OS USB drive to install the OS.
