CAUTION!

1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU a nd the he atsink when you install the PC syste m.

2. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard! It may cause permanent damage!

3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1/2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

4. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. The CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the jumper-setting. You must set the FSB jumper according to your AMD CPU before you use the “Manual” option as the FSB setting in BIOS setup to perform over clocking. Please check page 26 of the User Manual in the Support CD for details.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-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. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

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 antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

STEP 1: Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90o angle. STEP 2: Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked

corner matches the base of the socket lever.

STEP 3: Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

STEP 4: When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you

push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

STEP 5: Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly

refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

There are 1 set of K8 Bridge, 4 PCI slots, and 2 AGP slots (the slot 1.5V_AGP1 supports for K7 AGP Interface, and the slot AGP2 supports for K8 AGP Interface) on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard.

K8 Bridge

(Orange-Colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) + Brown-Colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2)):

The set of K8 Bridge allows you to upgrade your AMD 462-Pin CPU to AMD 754-Pin CPU by installing an add-on ASRock 754Bridge (optional) into this K8 Bridge on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. Before you upgrade the AMD 462-Pin CPU to the AMD 754-Pin CPU, it is necessary to adjust the jumper settings for those required jumpers on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. Please refer to the table below for the correct jumper settings.

The orange-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) is not an AGP slot, and the brown-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2) is not an AMR slot! Please do NOT insert any AGP card into the orange-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) and AMR card into the brown-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2)! It may cause permanent da mage to the hardware!

NOTE

When adjusting the jumper settings, you may use the tool, Jumper Cap Remover, to help you removing the jumper caps more easily. This Jumper Cap Remover is bundled in your motherboard package, and please follow the “Jumper Cap Remover Instruction” to use it properly.

PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

AGP slot: The AGP slots are used to install a graphics card. Please insert the AGP

card with K7 AGP Interface into the slot 1.5V_AGP1 (see page 2, No. 33), or insert the AGP card with K8 AGP Interface into the slot AGP2 (see page 2, No. 30). Please do not install AGP cards into the slot

1.5V_AGP1 and the slot AGP2 at the same time. It may cause permanent damage to the hardware.

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 AGP card, please check with the AGP card vendors.

If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your SATA HDDs, you will need to make an SATA driver diskette before you start the OS installation.

STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system.

(Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this moment!)

STEP 2: During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and

then a window for boot devices selection appears. Please select CDROM as the boot device.

STEP 3: When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate

Serial ATA driver diskette [YN]?”, press <Y>.

STEP 4: Then you will see these messages,

Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive. WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette will lose ALL data in it! Start to format and copy files [YN]?

Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press <Y>.

STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA

drivers into the floppy diskette.

Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows 2000 / Windows XP on your system directly without setting the RAID configuration on your system, or you may start to use “VT8237 SATA RAID BIOS” to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD configuration before you install the OS. Before you start to configure the RAID function, you need to check the installation guide in the Support CD for proper configuration. Please refer to the document in the Support CD, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and RAID Configuration”, which is located in the folder at the following path:
