(CLRCMOS1) (see p.2, No. 21)

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes

system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. After 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 after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.

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 CPUs bis 95W. Auf unserer Website finden Sie eine Liste mit unterstützten CPUs. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

2. Die UCC-Funktion (Unlock CPU Core; zu Deutsch: CPU-Kern freigeben) vereinfacht die AMD-CPU-Aktivierung. Zur Freigabe des zusätzlichen CPUKerns müssen Sie lediglich die BIOS-Option „Unlock CPU Core“ (zu Deutsch: CPU-Kern freigeben) umschalten – schon profitieren Sie von einem Leistungsschub. Wenn die UCC-Funktion aktiviert ist, rüstet die Dual-Core- oder Triple-Core-CPU auf eine Quad-Core-CPU auf – einige CPUs (inklusive Quad-Core) können zudem die L3-Cache-Größe auf bis zu 6 MB anheben; das bedeutet verbesserte CPU-Leistung zu einem geringeren Preis. Bitte beachten Sie, dass die UCC-Funktion nur bei AM2+ / AM3-CPUs einsetzbar ist; die Unterstützung besteht jedoch aufgrund möglicher Fehlfunktionen des verborgenen Kerns einiger CPUs auch nicht zwangsläufig bei jeder AM2+ / AM3-CPU.

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

4. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 13 zwecks richtiger Installation gelesen haben.

5. Ob die Speichergeschwindigkeit 1600 MHz unterstützt wird, hängt von der

von Ihnen eingesetzten AM3-CPU ab. Schauen Sie bitte auf unseren Internetseiten in der Liste mit unterstützten Speichermodulen nach, wenn Sie DDR3 1600-Speichermodule einsetzen möchten. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

6. Durch Betriebssystem-Einschränkungen kann die tatsächliche

Speichergröße weniger als 4 GB betragen, da unter Windows® 7 / Vista™ / XP etwas Speicher zur Nutzung durch das System reserviert wird. Unter Windows® OS mit 64-Bit-CPU besteht diese Einschränkung nicht.

7. 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

8. Die Maximalspeichergröße ist von den Chipshändler definiert und

umgetauscht. Bitte überprüfen Sie NVIDIA® website für die neuliche Information.

9. Vor Installation der SATAII-Festplatte an den SATAII-Anschluss lesen Sie

bitte “Setup-Anleitung für SATAII-Festplatte” auf Seite 25 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.

10. Das Power Management für USB 2.0 arbeitet unter Microsoft® Windows

7 64-Bit / 7 / VistaTM 64-Bit / VistaTM / XP 64-Bit / XP SP1 oder SP2 einwandfrei.

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

ASRock N68C-GS UCC / N68C-S UCC Motherboard

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 a ktualisieren. Achten Sie darauf, dass das USB-Flash-Laufwerk oder die Festplatte das Dateisystem FAT32/16/12 benutzen muss.

14. Allein der Name – OC DNA* – beschreibt es wörtlich, was die Software zu leisten vermag. OC DNA ist ein von ASRock exklusiv entwickeltes Dienstprogramm, das Nutzern eine bequeme Möglichkeit bietet, Übertaktungseinstellungen aufzuzeichnen und sie Anderen mitzuteilen. Es hilft Ihnen, Ihre Übertaktungsaufzeichnung im Betriebssystem zu speichern und vereinfacht den komplizierten Aufzeichnungsvorgang von Übertaktungseinstellungen. Mit OC DNA können Sie Ihre Übertaktungseinstellungen als Profil abspeichern und Ihren Freunden zugänglich machen! Ihre Freunde können dann das Übertaktungsprofil auf ihren eigenen Systemen laden, um dieselben Übertaktungseinstellungen. Mit OC DNA können Sie Ihre Übertaktungseinstellungen als Profil abspeichern und Ihren Freunden zugänglich machen! Ihre Freunde können dann das Übertaktungsprofil auf ihren eigenen Systemen laden, um dieselben Übertaktungseinstellungen wie Sie zu erhalten! Be achten Sie bitte, dass das Übertaktungsprofil nur bei einem identischen Motherboard gemeinsam genutzt und funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann. Übertaktungseinstellungen wie Sie zu erhalten! Be achten Sie bitte, dass das Übertaktungsprofil nur bei einem identischen Motherboard gemeinsam genutzt und funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann.

15. Obwohl dieses Motherboard stufenlose Steuerung bietet, wird Overclocking nicht empfohlen. Frequenzen, die von den empfohlenen CPU-Busfrequenzen abweichen, können Instabilität des Systems verursachen oder die CPU beschädigen.

16. 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.

17. 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.
