1.2Motherboard overview
1.2.1Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
•Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded
object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

1.2.3Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount AM3+/AM3 socket designed for the AMD® FX™-Series/Phenom™ II/Athlon™ II/Sempron™ 100 Series Processors.
Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
The AM3+ socket has a different pinout from the 940-pin socket designed for the AMD Opteron processor. Ensure that you use a CPU designed for the AM3+ socket. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!

1.2.4System memory
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots.
A DDR3 module is notched differently from a DDR or DDR2 module. DO NOT install a DDR or DDR2 memory module to the DDR3 slot.
Recommended memory configurations
1 Chapter
1-10 |
Chapter 1: Product introduction |
Memory configurations
You may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB unbuffered ECC and non ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• You may install varying memory sizes in ChannelAand Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration.Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
•Memory modules with memory frequency higher than 2133MHz and their corresponding timing or the loaded XMP profile is not the JEDEC memory standard.
The stability and compatibility of the memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and other installed devices.
•Due to the CPU spec.,AMDAM3 100 series CPUs support up to DDR3 1066MHz. WithASUS design, this motherboard can support up to DDR3 1333MHz.
•When overclocking, some AMD CPU models may not support DDR3 1600 or higher frequency DIMMs.
•Due to the memory address limitation on 32-bit Windows OS, when you install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do any of the following:
a)Use a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows OS.
b)Install a 64-bit Windows OS when you want to install 4GB or more on the
motherboard.
c)For more details, refer to the Microsoft® support site at http://support.microsoft. com/kb/929605/en-us.
•This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 512Mb (64MB) chips or less (Memory chip capacity counts in Megabit, 8 Megabit/Mb = 1 Megabyte/MB).
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect
(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. To operate at the vendor-marked or at a higher frequency, refer to section 3.4 Ai Tweaker menu for manual memory frequency adjustment.
•For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full
memory load (4 DIMMs) or overclocking condition.
