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 Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 240 -pin DDR3/DDR3L (Double Data Rate 3)

DIMM slots. If only one DIMM module is installed, please install it into DDR3_A1.

It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR 3/DDR3L
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

e DIMM only ts in one correct or ientation. It will cause per manent damage to
the mothe rboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect
orientation.

2.2 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 3 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an expansion card , please make sure that the power supply is
switched o or the power cord is unplugge d. Please 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 cards with x1 lane width cards.

PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

PCIE3 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x1 lane width cards.

2.3 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

(CLRMOS1)

(see p.5, No. 7)

CLRMOS1 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 CLRMOS1 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

13

If you clear the CMOS, the case ope n may be detected. Please adju st the BIOS option
“Clear Status” to clear the record of previous chassis intrusion status.

2.4 Onboard Headers and Connectors

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

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 dicult 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 Conguration, which

allows the USB port to function as a PS/2 port, and then you can insta ll the Windows® 7

OS. Please set PS/S Simulator back to disabled aer 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.
