Chapter 2 Installation
K7S41 / K7S41GX is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 7.8-in, 24.4 cm x 19.8 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, please study the configura­tion of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard compo­nents or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard 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 components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

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.
12
2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI, AMR, and AGP Slots)
There are 2 PCI slots, 1 AMR slot, and 1 AGP slot on K7S41 / K7S41GX motherboard. PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI
interface.
AMR slot: The AMR slot is used to insert an ASRock MR card (optional) with
v.92 Modem functionality.
AGP slot: The AGP slot is used to install a graphics card. The ASRock AGP slot has
a special design of clasp that can securely fasten the inserted graphics card.
Please do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! For the voltage information of your graphics card, please check with the graphics card vendors.
Installing an expansion card
Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power
supply is switched off 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 firmly 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.

[Manual]: This allows user to set CPU host frequency manually. However,
because the CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the jumper-setting, you must set the FSB jumper adjustment according to your AMD CPU before you use this “Manual” option as the FSB setting in BIOS setup to perform over clocking. This is not recommended unless you thoroughly know the feature. Wrong setup may cause problems during operation.
DRAM Frequency:
If set to [Auto], the motherboard will detect the inserted memory module(s) and automatically assign appropriate frequency. You may select other value as the operating frequency: [133MHz (DDR266)], [166MHz (DDR333)], [200MHz (DDR400)]. Please note that the option [200MHz (DDR400)] will be available only when K7S41 motherboard is installed.
