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.

Introduction
Frequent Q&A on Memory Usage
Q: How can I obtain good performance on an overclocked system?
A: Insert two identical broad bandwidth memories in DIMM 2 and
DIMM 4.
Q: Why will the system board fail to boot when 3 DIMMs are
used?
A: The integrated memory controller in AMD's 64-bit Socket 939
series CPU supports dual channel however the controller is not
capable of accurately distinguishing between dual and single
channels resulting to boot up problem. 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.
Q: Why won't the system boot when 4 single side DIMMs are
used?
A: Normally, the memory timing is set at 2T but to enhance system
performance, the default memory timing has been fixed at 1T
(Command Per Clock: Enabled). Therefore if you use 4 single side
DIMMs, the load will exceed the limit (DDR 400). Please refer to
the steps below to solve this problem.
1. Set the "DRAM Voltage Control" field (in the Genie BIOS
Setting of the Award BIOS) to "2.8V".
2. Set the memory timing to 2T by selecting Disabled in the
"Command Per Clock" field (in the Genie BIOS Setting of the
Award BIOS).

Introduction
NVIDIA® ActiveArmor
NVIDIA® ActiveArmorTM is built into the chipset to enhance network
security. It protects the system’s networking connection especially during
large file downloads. ActiveArmor is activated the minute you turn on
the PC. It performs a thorough inspection of the data packets that
flow in and out of your network connection and only allows good
packets to pass through the firewall. ActiveArmor performs network
and security processing in the chipset, leaving the CPU free for other
important application processing.
CPU Overheat Protection
CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s
temperature during system 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.
TM
DDR
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.
CMOS Reloaded
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing multiple userdefined BIOS settings by using the BIOS utility to save, load and
name the settings. This is especially useful to overclockers who
require saving a variety of overclocked settings and being able to
conveniently switch between these settings simultaneously.
Karajan Audio Module
The Karajan audio module at the rear I/O panel supports 8-channel
audio output via the audio jacks on the module. It is also equipped
with a CD-in and front audio connector.
22
Introduction
S/PDIF
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.
Serial ATA Interface
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0
specification. nForce4 SLI supports 4 Serial ATA ports with speed of
up to 3Gb/s which is twice as fast as the standard 1.5Gb/s speed
supported by Silicon Image that controls another 4 Serial ATA ports.
Serial ATA it improves hard drive performance faster than the
standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
1
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk)
The NVIDIA nForce4 SLI chipset supports NVIDIA RAID that
allows RAID arrays spanning across 4 Serial ATA and Parallel ATA
drives. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1.
The Silicon Image Sil 3114 chip (LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR
Expert only) allows configuring RAID on another 4 Serial ATA ports.
It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5.
IEEE 1394 Interface
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
IrDA Interface
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.
USB Ports
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.
Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the “Soft-Off By PBTN” field of the
Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to enter
the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
Wake-On-LAN
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.
Wake-On-PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse

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. The four DDR
DIMM sockets on the system board are divided into 2 channels:
Channel A - DDR 1 and DDR 2
Channel B - DDR 3 and DDR 4

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.
Single Channel
Dual Channel
BIOS Setting
Configure the system memory in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu
(“DRAM Configuration” section) of the BIOS.
•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.
28
Hardware Installation
The integrated memory controller in AMD's 64-bit Socket 939
series CPU will directly catch data transmission from DDR RAM
without passing through the Northbridge. Therefore when using 4
identical double side DIMMs or using 2 DIMMs in non-dual channels,
the memory speed will reduce to DDR333. Please refer to the
detailed memory speed shown below.
A DIMM's SPD is originally fixed at 1T. When modules are inserted
in DIMM 1 and DIMM 3, the SPD must be 2T for better system
stability. We recommend inserting DIMMs in DIMM 2 and DIMM 4.

Hardware Installation
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.
