WARNUNG

Beachten Sie bitte, dass Overclocking, einschließlich der Einstellung im BIOS, Anwenden der Untied Overclocking-Technologie oder Verwenden von Overclocking-Werkzeugen von Dritten, mit einem gewissen Risiko behaftet ist. Overclocking kann sich nachteilig auf die Stabilität Ihres Systems auswirken oder sogar Komponenten und Geräte Ihres Systems beschädigen. Es geschieht dann auf eigene Gefahr und auf Ihre Kosten. Wir übernehmen keine Verantwortung für mögliche Schäden, die aufgrund von Overclocking verursacht wurden.

VORSICHT!

1. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die Untied-Übertaktungstechnologie. Unter “Entkoppelte Übertaktungstechnologie” auf Seite 22 finden Sie detaillierte Informationen.

2. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 12 zwecks richtiger Installation gelesen haben.

3. Ob die Speichergeschwindigkeit 1066 MHz unterstützt wird, hängt von der von Ihnen eingesetzten AM2+-CPU ab. Schauen Sie bitte auf unseren Internetseiten in der Liste mit unterstützten Speichermodulen nach, wenn Sie DDR2 1066-Speichermodule einsetzen möchten. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

4. Durch Betriebssystem-Einschränkungen kann die tatsächliche Speichergröße weniger als 4 GB betragen, da unter Windows® XP und Windows® Vista™ etwas Speicher zur Nutzung durch das System reserviert wird. Unter Windows® XP 64-bit und Windows® Vista™ 64-bit mit 64-Bit-CPU besteht diese Einschränkung nicht.

5. Der Mikrofoneingang dieses Motherboards unterstützt Stereo- und MonoModi. Der Audioausgang dieses Motherboards unterstützt 2-Kanal-, 4Kanal-, 6-Kanal- und 8-Kanal-Modi. Stellen Sie die richtige Verbindung anhand der Tabelle auf Seite 3 her.

6. Vor Installation der SATAII-Festplatte an den SATAII-Anschluss lesen Sie bitte “Setup-Anleitung für SATAII-Festplatte” auf Seite 24 der “Bedienungsanleitung” auf der Support-CD, um Ihre SATAII-Festplatte dem SATAII-Modus anzugleichen. Sie können die SATA-Festplatte auch direkt mit dem SATAII-Anschluss verbinden.

8. Es ist ein benutzerfreundlicher ASRock Übertaktenswerkzeug, das

erlaubt, dass Sie Ihr System durch den Hardware-Monitor Funktion zu überblicken und Ihre Hardware-Geräte übertakten, um die beste Systemleistung unter der Windows® Umgebung zu erreichen. Besuchen Sie bitte unsere Website für die Operationsverfahren von ASRock OC Tuner. ASRock-Website: http://www.asrock.com

9. Mit einer eigenen, modernen Hardware und speziellem Softwaredesign,

bietet der Intelligent Energy Saver eine revolutionäre Technologie zur bisher unerreichten Energieeinsparung. Ein Spannungsregler kann die Anzahl von Ausgangsphasen zur Effektivitätsverbessserung reduzieren, wenn sich die CPU im Leerlauf befindet. Mit anderen Worten: Sie genießen außergewöhnliche Energieeinsparung und verbesserten Wirkungsgrad ohne Leistungseinschränkungen. Wenn Sie die Intelligent Energy Saver-Funktion nutzen möchten, aktivieren Sie zuvor die „Cool ‘n’ Quiet“-Option im BIOS. Weitere Bedienungshinweise zum Intelligent Energy Saver finden Sie auf unseren Internetseiten. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

10. ASRock Instant Flash ist ein im Flash-ROM eingebettetes BIOS-Flash-

Programm. 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 Progra mm 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 . Obwohl dieses Motherboard stufenlose Steuerung bietet, wird Over-

clocking nicht empfohlen. Frequenzen, die über den für den jeweiligen Prozessor vorgesehenen liegen, können das System instabil werden lassen oder die CPU beschädigen.

12. Wird eine Überhitzung der CPU registriert, führt das System einen

automatischen Shutdown durch. Bevor Sie das System neu starten, prüfen Sie bitte, ob der CPU-Lüfter am Motherboard richtig funktioniert, und stecken Sie bitte den Stromkabelstecker aus und dann wieder ein. Um die Wärmeableitung zu verbessern, bitte nicht vergessen, etwas Wärmeleitpaste zwischen CPU und Kühl körper zu sprühen.

ASRock K10N78D Motherboard

13. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die ASRock AM2 Boost Übertaktungstechnologie. Wenn Sie diese Funktion im BIOS-Setup aktivieren, wird die Arbeitsspeicherleistung um bis zu 12,5% gesteigert. Die Wirkung hängt aber von der verwendeten AM2 CPU ab. Diese Funktion übertaktet die Standardfrequenz des Chipsatz und der CPU. Dennoch gewähren wir die Systemstabilität nicht bei allen CPU/DRAMKonfigurationen. Wird Ihr System nach dem Aktivieren der AM2 BoostFunktion unstabil, dann ist diese Funktion wahrscheinlich nicht für Ihr System geeignet. Sie können diese Funktion deaktivieren, um die Stabilität Ihres System zu bewahren.
