What is HDCP?
HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection,
a specifi cation developed by Intel
®
for protecting digital
entertainment content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a
copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of
intercepting digital data midstream between the video source,
or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television
or projector. In other words, HDCP specifi cation is designed to protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.
Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD
players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few
entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant
display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP
in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or
LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.

VORSICHT!
1. Die Einstellung der “Hyper-Threading Technology”, fi nden Sie auf Seite
60 des auf der Support-CD enthaltenen Benutzerhandbuches beschrieben.
2. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor
Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die
Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 16 zwecks
richtiger Installation gelesen haben.
3. DDR3-Frequenzoptionen können je nach Prozessor variieren. Nur CPU
der K-Serie kann DDR3-Übertaktung auf 2133 und 1866 unterstützen.
4. Durch Betriebssystem-Einschränkungen kann die tatsächliche Speichergröße weniger als 4 GB betragen, da unter Windows
etwas Speicher zur Nutzung durch das System reserviert wird. Unter
Windows® OS mit 64-Bit-CPU besteht diese Einschränkung nicht.
5. Die Maximalspeichergröße ist von den Chipshändler defi niert und umge-
tauscht. Bitte überprüfen Sie Intel
6. Sie können nur die Nutzung von zwei von drei Bildschirmen auswählen.
Die D-Sub-, DVI-D- und HDMI-Bildschirme können nicht gleichzeitig
aktiviert werden. Zudem kann der DVI-D-Port mit DVI-zu-HDMI-Adapter
dieselben Funktionen wie der HDMI-Port unterstützen.
7. xvYCC und Deep Color werden nur unter Windows
stützt. Der Deep Color-Modus wird nur aktiviert, wenn der Bildschirm
12bpc in EDID unterstützt. HBR wird unter Windows® 7 64 Bit / 7 / VistaTM
64 Bit / Vista
TM
unterstützt.
8. Der Mikrofoneingang dieses Motherboards unterstützt Stereo- und MonoModi. Der Audioausgang dieses Motherboards unterstützt 2-Kanal-,
4-Kanal-, 6-Kanal- und 8-Kanal-Modi. Stellen Sie die richtige Verbindung
anhand der Tabelle auf Seite 3 her.
9. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) ist ein Alles-in-einemWerkzeug zur Feineinstellung verschiedener Systemfunktionen an
einer benutzerfreundlichen Schnittstelle; diese beinhaltet HardwareÜberwachung, Lüftersteuerung, Übertaktung, OC DNA und IES. Über die
Hardware-Überwachung können Sie die Hauptsystemdaten einsehen.
Die Lüftersteuerung zeigt Ihnen zur Anpassung Lüftergeschwindigkeit
und Temperatur an. Bei der Übertaktung können Sie die CPU-Frequenz
zur Erzielung optimaler Systemleistung übertakten. OC DNA ermöglicht
Ihnen die Speicherung Ihrer OC-Einstellungen als Profi l, welches Siemit Freunden teilen können. Ihre Freunde können das OC-Profi l dann
in ihrem System laden und so die gleichen OC-Einstellungen erzielen.
Per IES (Intelligent Energy Saver) kann der Spannungsregulator bei
Inaktivität der CPU-Kerne die Anzahl an Ausgangsphasen zur Steigerung
der Effi zienz reduzieren – ohne die Rechenleistung zu beeinträchtigen.

10. ASRock Instant Flash ist ein im Flash-ROM eingebettetes BIOS-FlashProgramm. 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
Programm bekommen Sie durch Drücken der <F6>-Taste
während des POST-Vorgangs oder durch Drücken der <F2>-Taste im
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 Klickvorgän-
gen ohne Bereitstellung einer zusätzlichen Diskette oder eines anderen komplizierten Flash-Programms aktualisieren. Achten Sie darauf,
dass das USB-Flash-Laufwerk oder die Festplatte das Dateisystem
FAT32/16/12 benutzen muss.
11. Wenn Sie nach einer schnelleren, weniger eingeschränkten Möglichkeit zur Aufl adung Ihrer Apple-Geräte (z. B. iPhone/iPad/iPod touch)
suchen, bietet ASRock Ihnen eine wunderbare Lösung – den ASRock
APP Charger. Installieren Sie einfach den ASRock APP Charger-Treiber;
dadurch lädt sich Ihr iPhone wesentlich schneller über einen Computer
auf – genaugenommen bis zu 40 % schneller als zuvor. Der ASRock APP
Charger ermöglicht Ihnen die schnelle Aufl adung mehrerer Apple-Geräte
gleichzeitig; der Ladevorgang wird sogar dann fortgesetzt, wenn der PC
den Ruhezustand (S1), Suspend to RAM-Modus (S3) oder Tiefschlafmo
dus (S4) aufruft oder ausgeschaltet wird (S5). Nach der Installation des
APP Charger-Treibers können Sie im Handumdrehen das großartigste
Ladeerlebnis überhaupt genießen. ASRock-Webseite: http://www.asrock.

20. EuP steht für Energy Using Product und kennzeichnet die ÖkodesignRichtlinie, die von der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zur Festlegung des Energieverbrauchs von vollständigen Systemen in Kraft gesetzt wurde. Gemäß
dieser Ökodesign-Richtlinie (EuP) muss der gesamte Netzstromverbrauch
von vollständigen Systemen unter 1,00 Watt liegen, wenn sie ausgeschaltet
sind. Um dem EuP-Standard zu entsprechen, sind ein EuP-fähiges Motherboard und eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung erforderlich. Gemäß einer
Empfehlung von Intel muss eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung dem Standard
entsprechen, was bedeutet, dass bei einem Stromverbrauch von 100 mA
die 5-Volt-Standby-Energieeffi zienz höher als 50% sein sollte. Für die Wahl
einer EuP-fähigen Stromversorgung empfehlen wir Ihnen, weitere Details
beim Hersteller der Stromversorgung abzufragen.

(siehe S.2, No. 26)
Hinweis:
CLRCMOS1 ermöglicht Ihnen die Löschung der Daten im CMOS. Zum
Löschen und Zurücksetzen der Systemparameter auf die Standardeinrichtung
schalten Sie den Computer bitte aus und trennen das Netzkabel von der
Stromversorgung. Warten Sie 15 Sekunden, schließen Sie dann Pin2 und
Pin3 am CLRCMOS1 über einen Jumper fünf Sekunden lang kurz. Sie
sollten das CMOS allerdings nicht direkt nach der BIOS-Aktualisierung
löschen. Wenn Sie das CMOS nach Abschluss der BIOS-Aktualisierung
löschen müssen, fahren Sie zuerst das System hoch. Fahren Sie es dann
vor der CMOS-Löschung herunter. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Kennwort,
Datum, Uhrzeit, benutzerdefi niertes Profi l, 1394 GUID und MAC-Adresse
nur gelöscht werden, wenn die CMOS-Batterie entfernt wird.

1.3 Réglage des cavaliers
L’illustration explique le réglage des cavaliers. Quand un capuchon est placé sur les
broches, le cavalier est « FERME ». Si aucun capuchon ne relie les broches,le cavalier est « OUVERT ». L’illustration montre un
cavalier à 3 broches dont les broches 1 et 2
sont « FERMEES » quand le capuchon est
placé sur ces 2 broches.
Le cavalier Description
Effacer la CMOS
(CLRCMOS1)
(voir p.2 fi g. 26)
Remarque :
Paramètres
par défaut
CLRCMOS1 vous permet d’effacer les données du CMOS. Pour effacer
et réinitialiser les paramètres du système à la confi guration originale,
veuillez éteindre l’ordinateur et débrancher le cordon d’alimentation de
la prise de courant. Après 15 secondes, utilisez un couvercle de jumper
pour court-circuiter les broches pin2 et pin3 de CLRCMOS1 pendant
secondes. Veuillez cependant ne pas effacer le CMOS immédiatement
a
près avoir mis à jour le BIOS. Si vous avez besoin d’effacer le CMOS
après avoir mis à jour le BIOS, vous devez allumer en premier le
système, puis l’éteindre avant de continuer avec l’opération d’effacement
du CMOS. Veuillez noter que le mot de passe, la date, l’heure, le profi l
par défaut de l’utilisateur, 1394 GUID et l’adresse MAC seront effacés
seulement si la batterie du CMOS est enlevée.

20. EuP, che sta per Energy Using Product (Prodotto che consuma energia) ,
era una normativa emanata dall’Unione Europea che defi niva il consumo
energetico del sistema completo. In base all’EuP, l’alimentazione totale
del sistema completo deve essere inferiore a 1,00 W quando è spento.
Per soddisfare la norma EuP sono necessari un alimentatore e una scheda elettrica predisposti EuP. In base ai suggerimenti Intel l’alimenta
tore predisposto EuP deve soddisfare lo standard secondo cui l’effi cienza
energetica in standby di 5 v è più alta del 50% con un consumo di corrente di 100 mA. Per la scelta di un’alimentatore predisposto EuP consigliamo di verifi care ulteriori dettagli con il produttore.
