Please realize that the re is a certain r isk involved with overclo cking, including adju st­ing the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Ove rclocking Technology, or using third­party o verclocking tools. 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.

Due to limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation
for system usage under Windows® 32- bit operating systems . Windows® 64-bit operat­ing systems do not have such limitations. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize

Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Micro ATX 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.

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1150-Pin CPU into the socket, please che ck if the PnP cap is on
the socket, if the CPU surfa ce is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket.
Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise,
the CPU will be seriously damaged .

2. Unplug all power c ables before in stalling the CPU.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

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

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identica l (the same

brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR3 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memor y Technology with only one memory
module instal led.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot;
otherwise , this motherboard and DIM M 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 .

2.4 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 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics

cards.

2.5 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.5, No. 16)

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

you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut

it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,

date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

removed.

Clear CMOSDefault

English

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detec ted. Please adjust the BIOS option
“Clear Status” to clear the record of previou s chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over
these header s and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors
will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.
