It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Introduction

Features

The system board supports the AMD Athlon

64 X2 / Athlon 64 FX /

Athlon

64 / SempronTM processor

for Socket AM2. AMD Athlon

64 provides superior computing for many software applications by allowing both 32-bit and 64-bit applications to run simultaneously on the same platform. The operating system and software are able to process more data and access a tremendous amount of memory which improves the overall system performance.

2T timing which provides better system stability is supported in CG or later revisions of the AMD Athlon

64 processor. You can select the memory timing in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu (“DRAM Configuration” section) of the BIOS.

The AMD Cool‘n’Quiet

technology allows

the system to detect the CPU’s tasks and utilization status. When the CPU’s task slows down, the system effectively lowers power consumption by lowering its CPU speed and voltage, subsequently decreasing its noise level.

The NVIDIA

SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology connects two SLI-ready PCI Express graphics cards in a single and scalable system. The two identical graphics cards, which are connected via the SLI bridge, will pro-

vide extreme performance allowing you to enjoy games with the most visual effects and the most graphics demanding multimedia utilities. Dual GPUs provide increased 3D graphics and and doubles the graphics performance.

PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure

that possesses the ability to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The system board currently supports the physical layer of x1, x8 and x16 lane widths. The x1 PCI Express lane supports transfer rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per second. The PCI Express architecture also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI Express lane to provide 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.

Cool‘n’Quiet

Introduction

CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s temperature during sys-

tem boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system will automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment.

DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-

tional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.

The onboard Realtek ALC850 which is an AC’97 com-

patible audio codec and the 6 audio jacks at the rear

I/O panel provides 8-channel audio output for advanced

7.1-channel super surround sound audio system. ALC850 also supports S/PDIF input and output, allowing digital connections with DVD systems or other audio/video multimedia.

CPU Overheat Protection

Introduction

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the

quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/ PDIF connector on the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.

(INFINITY NF SLI-M2/G and INFINITY NF

ULTRAII-M2 only) Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0 specification. The system board supports 4 Serial ATA ports with speed of up to 3Gb/s. Serial ATA improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

INFINITY NFII-M2 and INFINITY NF4XII-M2 support speed of up to 1.5Gb/s.

The NVIDIA nForce4 chip supports NVIDIA RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk) that allows RAID arrays spanning across 4 Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drives. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD.

The Marvell 88E1115 Gigabit LAN chip supports up to 1Gbps.

IEEE 1394 is fully compliant with the 1394 OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 devices that can run simultaneously on a system.

1394 is a fast external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also supports isochronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394 supports both Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.

Introduction

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector

for wireless connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1

ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while

USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing

a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

This feature allows the system that is in the

Suspend mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external modem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC.

Important:

If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support a minimum of

≥

720mA.

This feature allows the network to remotely

wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

720mA.

This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the sys-

tem.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

720mA.

Wake-On-LAN

IrDA

Wake-On-PS/2

Wake-On-Ring

Introduction

This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system

from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

Important:

If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5VSB

power source of your power supply must support

≥

2A.

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and

time.

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Ad-

vanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only Windows

®®

2000/XP supports the ACPI function. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows

®®

2000/XP without having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

1A.

Introduction

Hardware Installation

System Board Layout

Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation

The system board shown above is the INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2 board which uses the NVIDIA nForce4TM Ultra chip. The chip on the board will vary in accordance to the model you have purchased.

INFINITY NF SLI-M2/G - NVIDIA nForce4TM SLI chip INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2 - NVIDIA nForce4TM Ultra chip INFINITY NFII-M2 - NVIDIA nForce4TM chip INFINITY NF4XII-M2 - NVIDIA nForce4-4XTM chip

Hardware Installation

System Memory

Warning:

When the DRAM Power LED lit red, it indicates that power is present on the DDR2 sockets. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to installing any memory modules. Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

Warning:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

The system board supports 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets. The four DDR2 DIMM sockets on the system board are divided into 2 channels:

Channel A - DDR2-1 and DDR2-3 Channel B - DDR2-2 and DDR2-4

DDR2-1, Channel A DDR2-2, Channel B

DDR2-3, Channel A DDR2-4, Channel B

DRAM Power LED

Hardware Installation

The system board supports the following memory interface.

Single Channel (SC)

Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.

Dual Channel (DC)

Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.

• DIMMs are on the same channel.

• DIMMs in a channel can be identical or

completely different. However, we highly recommend using identical DIMMs.

• Not all slots need to be populated.

• DIMMs of the same memory configura-

tion are on different channels.

Single Channel

Dual Channel

The table below shows the DIMM sockets that must be populated with DIMMs for single or dual channel interface. We strongly recommend that you strictly follow the memory configurations below. Installing DDR2 DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause system boot failure.
