1.3 Unique Features

ASRock Rack Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. is con-

venient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operat-

ing systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. With this utility, you can press the <F6>

key during the POST or the <F2> key to enter into the BIOS setup menu to access

ASRock Rack Instant Flash. Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS le to your

USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a

few clicks without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash

utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12

le system.

Chapter 2 Installation

This is a Mi ni-I TX form factor (6.7'' x 6.7 '', 17.0 cm x 17.0 cm) mot herb oa rd . Before

you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

Make sure to unplug the power c ord before installing or re moving the mothe rboard. Failure
to do so may cause physical injurie s to you and d amages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you insta ll motherboard components or

change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s 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 the compo-

nents.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static 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.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched o or the
power cord is detached f rom the power supply. Failure to d o so may cause severe damage to
the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3/DDR3L (Double Data Rate 3) SO-

DIMM slots. Please install the SO-DIMM module into the DDR3_A1 for the rst

priority.

2

J1900D2Y

It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3/DDR3L
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be d amaged.

e SO-DIMM only ts in one cor rect orientation. It w ill cau se permanent damage
to the motherboard and the SO -DIMM if you force the SO-DIM M into the slot at
incorrect orientation.

English

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere is 1 PCI Express slot on this motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o
or the power cord is unplug ged. Pl ease read the documentation of the expansion card and
make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCIe slot:

PCIE1 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

2.5 Jumper 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.

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

RESET (Reset Switch):
Connec t to the reset switch on the chassi s front panel. P ress the reset sw itch to restart the
computer if the computer f reezes and fails to perform a normal restar t.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):
Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED i s on when the
system is operating. e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):
Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when the
hard drive is reading or wr iting data.

e front panel de sign may dier by chassis. A front pane l module mainly consists of power
switch, reset switch , power LED, hard dr ive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connect­ing your ch assi s front panel module to thi s header, make sure the wire a ssignments and the

is hea der is p rovided for host computer chassis with chassis intrusion detection designs.
In addition, it mu st also work with e xternal detection equipment, such as a chassi s intru­sion detection sensor or a microswitch. When this function is activated, if any cha ssis
component movement occ urs, the sensor will immediately detect it and send a signal to this
heade r, and the system will then record this ch assis intrusion e vent. e default setting is
set to the CASEOPEN and GND pin; this function i s o.

drive rst. en, the drivers compatible to your system can be auto-detected and listed

2.9 Dual LAN and Teaming Operation Guide

Dual LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two single

connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth,

making data transmission more eective and improving the quality of transmission

of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual LAN network prevents network

downtime by transferring the work load from a failed port to a working port.

e speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with
Teaming enabled.

Before setting up Teaming, please make sure whether your Switch (or Router)

supports Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation). You can specify a preferred

adapter in Intel PROSet. Under normal conditions, the Primar y adapter handles all

non-TCP/IP trac. e Secondar y adapter will receive fa llback trac if the primary

fails. If the Preferred Primary adapter fails, but is later restored to an active status,

control is automatically switched back to the Preferred Primary adapter.

Step 1

From Device Manager, open the properties of a team.

J1900D2Y

Step 2

Click the Settings tab.

Step 3

Click the Modif y Team button.

Step 4

Select the adapter you want to be the primary adapter and click the Set Primary

button.

If you do not specify a preferred primary adapter, the soware will choose an

adapter of the highest capability (model and speed) to act as the default primary. If

a failover occurs, another adapter becomes the primary. e adapter will, however,

rejoin the team as a non-primary.
