Introduction
Static Electricity Precautions
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.
..
.
..
Battery:
•Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
•Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend
the manufacturer.
•Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturer’s
instructions.

Introduction
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of
SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading and
writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock.
This effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore
doubling the speed of data transfer.
The onboard Realtek ALC850 which is an AC’97
compatible 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.
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.

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.
System Memory
Warning:
When the DRAM Power LED lit red, it indicates that power is
present on the DDR 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.
DRAM Power LED
DDR 1, Channel A
DDR 2, Channel B
DDR 3, Channel A
DDR 4, Channel B
The system board supports DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data
Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of SDRAM that doubles the
data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling
edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the speed of operation
therefore doubling the speed of data transfer. Refer to chapter 1
(System Memory section) for detailed specification of the memory
supported by the system board.
26
Hardware Installation
The four DDR DIMM sockets on the system board are divided into 2
channels:
Channel A - DDR 1 and DDR 3
Channel B - DDR 2 and DDR 4
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.
2
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 DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause system boot failure.
Dual Channel
Dual Channel
•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.

Important Notes on Memory Usage
1.The system board will fail to boot when 3 DIMMs are used.
The integrated memory controller in AMD's 64-bit Socket 939
series CPU supports dual channel however when 3 DIMMs are
installed, the controller is not capable of accurately distinguishing
between dual and single channels resulting to boot up problem.
Even if you have luckily booted the system, the total memory
size detected is from 2 DIMMs only, not 3. Therefore we do not
suggest using 3 DIMMs.
2.The table below lists different memory configurations and their
corresponding memory speed. Take note that some memory
configurations will automatically reduce the memory speed to
DDR333.
If in any case the system becomes unstable, set the memory
timing from “1T” to “2T” in the “1T/2T Memory Timing” field
(Genie BIOS Setting submenu, DRAM Timing and Config section
of the Award BIOS).
28
BIOS Setting
Configure the system memory in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu
(“DRAM Timing and Config” section) of the BIOS.
Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a DIMM socket on the system
board. Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.

CPU
Overview
The system board is equipped with a surface mount 939-pin CPU
socket. This socket is exclusively designed for installing an AMD CPU.
Installing the CPU
1.Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to
it has been powered down.
2.Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3.Locate the 939-pin CPU socket on the system board.

5.Position the CPU above the socket. The gold mark on the CPU
must align with the corner of the CPU socket (refer to the
enlarged view) shown below.
Important:
Handle the CPU by its edges and avoid touching the pins.

6.Insert the CPU into the socket until it is seated in place. The
CPU will fit in only one orientation and can easily be inserted
without exerting any force.
Important:
Do not force the CPU into the socket. Forcing the CPU into
the socket may bend the pins and damage the CPU.
7.Once the CPU is in place, push down the lever to lock the
socket. The lever should click on the side tab to indicate that the
CPU is completely secured in the socket.

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink.
Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the
CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
The fan / heat sink assembly must provide airflow adequate to
ensure appropriate internal temperature and cooling of the
components in the system. Failure to use the appropriate cooling
system may result in reduced performance or, in some instances,
damage to the system board.
Note:
•Use only certified fan and heat sink.
•The fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and
heat sink assembly, and an installation guide. If the
installation procedure in the installation guide differs from
the one in this section, please follow the installation guide in
the package.
Hardware Installation
2
1.Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal
paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually
supplied when you purchase the CPU or fan heat sink assembly.
Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later
place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will
disperse evenly.
Do not apply the paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch
of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the
paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.
2.The system board comes with the retention module base already
installed.

IDE 2
The two shrouded PCI IDE headers will interface four Enhanced IDE
(Integrated Drive Electronics) disk drives. To prevent improper IDE
cable installation, each shrouded PCI IDE header has a keying
mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can be placed
into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1
of the header.
21
IDE 1
Each IDE connector supports 2 devices, a Master and a Slave. Use
an IDE ribbon cable to connect the drives to the system board. An
IDE ribbon cable have 3 connectors on them, one that plugs into an
IDE connector on the system board and the other 2 connects to
IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is for the Master
drive and the connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave
drive.
Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable
Install one end of the IDE cable into the IDE 1 header (J25) on the
system board and the other connectors to the IDE devices.
If you are adding a third or fourth IDE device, use another IDE
cable and install one end of the cable into the IDE 2 header (J22)
on the system board and the other connectors to the IDE devices.

Hardware Installation
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
Adding a Second IDE Disk Drive
When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the
other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive
manufacturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on the drives.
The system board supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33,
ATA/66, ATA/100 or ATA/133 hard drives. We recommend that you
use hard drives from the same manufacturer. In a few cases, drives
from two different manufacturers will not function properly when
used together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not the system
board.
Important:
If you encountered problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM
drive that is set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive
to Slave mode. Some ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized
and cannot be used if incorrectly set in Master mode.

The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply
to operate. Your system configuration (CPU power, amount of
memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum
power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we
strongly recommend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or
greater) power supply.
Important:
Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in
instability or the add-in boards and peripherals not functioning
properly. Calculating the system’s approximate power usage is
important to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s

than 16MB of system memory is installed, this field must be disabled
to provide contiguous system memory.
System BIOS Cacheable
When this field is enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM
addressed at F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache
controller is enabled. The larger the range of the Cache RAM, the
higher the efficiency of the system.
Init Display First
This field is used to select whether to initialize the onboard VGA,
PCI Express or PCI first when the system boots.
PCI SlotWhen the system boots, it will first initialize PCI.
OnboardWhen the system boots, it will first initialize the
onboard VGA.

Important:
The BIOS does not support booting from an HDTV therefore if
you intend to use HDTV to boot up the system, you do not
need to set this field. Instead, before you power-up the system,
make sure this is the only display device connected to it. After
the system boots up, you may then connect other display
devices. Install the ATI Catalyst Integrated System Drivers to
enable the system to detect the additional devices. The devices
can be viewed in the ATI Catalyst Control Center utility which
you will find available after installing the driver.

IDE HDD Block Mode
EnabledThe IDE HDD uses the block mode. The system BIOS
will check the hard disk drive for the maximum block
size the system can transfer. The block size will depend
on the type of hard disk drive.
DisabledThe IDE HDD uses the standard mode.
IDE DMA Transfer Access
This field is used to enable or disable the DMA transfer function of
an IDE hard drive.
IDE Prefetch Mode
This allows data and addresses to be stored in the internal buffer of
the chip, thus reducing access time. Enable this field to achieve better
performance.

On-Chip Primary IDE and On-Chip Secondary IDE
These fields allow you to enable or disable the primary and secondary IDE controller. The default is Enabled. Select Disabled if you want

IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO and IDE Secondary Master/Slave
PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS
issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and
then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by
themselves. Your system supports five modes, 0 (default) to 4, which
primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select
the best available mode after checking your drive.
AutoThe BIOS will automatically set the system according
to your hard disk drive’s timing.
Mode 0-4You can select a mode that matches your hard disk
drive’s timing. Caution: Do not use the wrong setting
or you will have drive errors.
