2. Installation

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. 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.

2.1CPU Installation

For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU, please follow the steps below.

775-Pin Socket Overview

Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU. Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2.

Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure

 

fan cables are oriented on side closest to the

 

CPU fan connector on the motherboard

 

(CPU_FAN1, see page 2/3, No. 1).

Step 3.

Align fasteners with the motherboard

 

throughholes.

Step 4.

Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press

 

down on fastener caps with thumb to install

 

and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

 

 

 

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,

 

the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

 

 

Step 5.

Connect fan header with the CPU fan

 

connector on the motherboard.

Step 6.

Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure

 

cable does not interfere with fan operation or

 

contact other components.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots and four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR2/DDR3 DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR2 DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see p.2/3 No. 6), identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1; Green slots; see p.2/3 No.7), or identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel C (DDR3_A2 and DDR3_B2; Pink slots; see p.2/3 No.8), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR3 DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDR3 DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

2.If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed in DDR3 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. If only one memory module is installed in DDR2 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3.If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

4.It is not allowed to install a DDR3 memory module into DDR2 slot or install a DDR2 memory module into DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

5.DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules cannot be installed on this motherboard at the same time.

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot.

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.

What graphics cards work with CrossFireTM?

A complete CrossFireTM system requires a CrossFireTM Ready motherboard, a CrossFireTM Edition graphics card and a compatible standard Radeon (CrossFireTM Ready) graphics card from the same series, or two CrossFireTM Ready cards. This applies to cards from ATITM or any of its partners. Please refer to below table for CrossFireTM VGA card support list according to the OS you install.

Enjoy the benefit of CrossFireTM

Different CrossFireTM cards may require different methods to enable CrossFireTM feature. In below procedures, we use Radeon 2600XT as the example graphics card. For other CrossFireTM cards that ATITM has released or will release in the future, please refer to ATITM graphics card manuals for detailed installation guide.

Step 1. There is one ASRock SLI/XFire Switch Card factory-mounted on this motherboard. This card served as a switch between the default mode (x16) and CrossFire mode (x8 / x8).ASRock SLI/XFire Switch Card is factory-mounted with its default mode (x16) side toward the retention slot base.

Step 2. To change it to CrossFire Mode, you need to reverse the direction of ASRock SLI/XFire Switch Card. Please simultaneously pull open both the retention arms that hold the card in position. The card itself will spring away from the retention slot. Take it out gently by holding its edges, and keep away from touching the connectors (Golden Fingers).

Step 3. Reverse the card direction so as to have the “X8 / X8 MODE” wording side toward the retention slot base. Insert the card into the bottom of the base.

Step 4. Push the card down into the retention slot till both the retention arms firmly hold the card into position. Also, keep away from touching the connectors (Golden Fingers).

Step 5. Install one Radeon graphics card to PCIE2 slot. For the proper installation procedures, please refer to section “Expansion Slots”.

Step 6. Install one Radeon graphics card to PCIE4 slot. For the proper installation procedures, please refer to section “Expansion Slots”.

Step 7. Connect two Radeon graphics cards by installing two CrossFireTM Bridge on CrossFireTM Bridge Interconnects on the top of Radeon graphics cards. (CrossFireTM Bridge is provided with the graphics card you purchase, not bundled with this motherboard. Please refer to your graphics card vendor for details.)

Step 8. Connect the DVI monitor cable to the DVI connector on the Radeon graphics card on PCIE2 slot. (You may use the DVI to D-Sub adapter to convert the DVI connector to D-Sub interface, and then connect the D-Sub monitor cable to the DVI to D-Sub adapter.)

Step 9. Power on your computer and boot into OS.

Step 10. Remove the ATITM driver if you have any VGA driver installed in your system.

The Catalyst Uninstaller is an optional download. We recommend using this utility to uninstall any previously installed Catalyst drivers prior to installation. Please check AMD website for ATITM driver updates.

Step 11. Install the required drivers to your system.

For Windows® XP OS:

A.ATITM recommends Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or higher to be installed (If you have Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or higher installed in your system, there is no need to download it again): http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx

B.You must have Microsoft .NET Framework installed prior to downloading and installing the CATALYST Control Center. Please check Microsoft website for details.

For Windows® VistaTM OS:

Install the CATALYST Control Center. Please check AMD website for details. Step 12. Restart your computer.

Step 13. Install the VGA card drivers to your system, and restart your computer. Then you will find “ATI Catalyst Control Center” on your Windows® taskbar.
