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 local ordinance.

Introduction

Features

The system board supports high performance DDR2 technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 12.8 Gb/s and beyond. That is twice the speed of

the conventional 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.

ATI’s CrossFire peak of performance by combining multiple GPUs in a single system. By connecting a Radeon CrossFire Edition

graphics card and a standard PCI Express graphics card, the power of the dual GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) within the system will accelerate your gaming performance and improve image quality.

PCI Express Gen 2 is a high bandwidth I/O infrastruc-

ture that possesses the ability to scale speeds by form-

ing multiple lanes. The x16 PCI Express lane supports

transfer rate up to 5Gb/s.

The onboard Realtek ALC885 is a High Definition audio codec and the 6 audio jacks at the rear I/O panel provides 8-channel audio output for advanced 7.1-channel

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink

Hardware Installation

Cover

Lever

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.

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.

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.

Page 26

Hardware Installation

2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 studs around the heat sink which are used to secure the heat sink onto the system board must match the 4 mounting holes around the socket.

Position each stud so that the groove faces the heat sink then push it down firmly until it clicks into place.

Northbridge Heat Sink

The Northbridge must be kept cool by using a heat sink. The heat sink will dissipate heat generated by the Northbridge. Without the heat sink, the Northbridge will overheat damaging both the Northbridge and the system board.

The system board comes with the heat sink already installed on the board. The copper-made heat pipe technology provides excellent heat dissipation.

The Diagnostic LED displays POST codes. POST (Power-On Self Tests) which is controlled by the BIOS is performed whenever you power-on the system. POST will detect the status of the system and its components. Each code displayed on the LED corresponds to a certain system status.

Warning:

When the DRAM Power LED and/or Standby Power LED lit red, it indicates that power is present on the DIMM sockets and/or PCI slots. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to installing any memory modules or add-in cards. Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

The power connectors from the power supply unit are designed to fit the 24-pin and 8-pin connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to find the proper orientation before plugging the connectors.

English

The FDD-type power connectors are additional power connectors. If you are using more than one graphics cards, we recommend that you plug a power cable from your power supply unit to the 5V/12V power connector. This will provide more stability to the entire system. The system board will still work even if the additional power connector is not connected.

+5V

Ground

+12V

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 consumption requirements.

Page 43

English

Restarting the PC

Normally, you can power-off the PC by:

1. Pressing the power button at the front panel of the chassis.

2. Pressing the power switch that is on the system board (note: not all system boards come with this switch).

If for some reasons you need to totally cut off the power supplied to the PC, switch off the power supply or unplug the power cord. Take note though that if you intend to restart it at once, please strictly follow the steps below.

1. The time where power is totally discharged varies among power supplies. It's discharge time is highly dependent on the system's configuration such as the wattage of the power supply, the sequence of the supplied power as well as the number of peripheral devices connected to the system. Due to this reason, we strongly recommend that you wait for the Standby Power LED (refer to the “LEDs” section in this chapter for the location of the Standby Power LED) to lit off.

English

2. After the Standby Power LED has lit off, wait for 6 seconds before powering on the PC.

If the system board is already enclosed in a chassis which apparently will not make the Standby Power LED visible, wait for 15 seconds before you restore power connections. 15 seconds is approximately the time that will take the LED to lit off and the time needed before restoring power.

The above will ensure protection and prevent damage to the motherboard and components.

Memory Hole At 15M-16M

In order to improve system performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16MB. When enabled, the CPU assumes the 15-16MB memory range is allocated to the hidden ISA address range instead of the actual system DRAM. When disabled, the CPU assumes the 15-16MB address range actually contains DRAM memory. If more than 16MB of system memory is installed, this field must be disabled to provide contiguous system memory.

CMOS Reloaded is especially helpful to overclockers who often go through the tiresome trial and error process of repeatedly changing the BIOS settings to come up with the most ideal overclocked setting. By being able to save and load the settings, it eliminates the tedious job of remembering several settings and/or repeatedly resetting settings during the trial process. The settings are stored in the SEEPROM. SEEPROM is divided into 5 banks - the backup bank and the 4 user defined banks.

Page 95

BIOS Setup

Auto Save Bootable Setting

This field is used to automatically save the last bootable setting from CMOS to an area in the SEEPROM referred to as the backup bank. To use this function:

1. Set this field to Enabled.

2. Select “Save & Exit Setup” in the main menu then press <Enter>.

3. Type <Y> then press <Enter>.

If the changes to the setting allowed the system to boot, the setting will be stored in the SEEPROM. In other words, if the system did not boot up, the setting will not be stored. You may then follow the steps in the next section to load the last bootable setting.

Load Last Bootable Setting

If, during the trial and error process, the setting resulted to the system’s instability or worse yet, not being able to boot up the system, please follow the steps below to use the Load function.

Note:

You can use the Load function only if you have set the “Auto Save Bootable Setting” to Enabled.

1. If the system did not boot up properly but you were able to enter the BIOS utility: a. Select “CMOS Reloaded” in the main menu then press <En-

ter>.

b. Move the cursor to “Load Last Bootable Setting” then press

“Load”.

c. Press <Y> to load the last bootable setting that was stored

in the backup bank.

2. If you cannot enter the BIOS utility: a. Use the Clear CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS. Refer to

chapter 2 for more information about clearing CMOS.

b. Enter the BIOS utility then perform steps 1a to 1c.

Saving, Loading and Naming BIOS Settings

For overclockers who require different sets of settings for various system environments or operating systems, CMOS Reloaded allows you to save, load and name up to four sets of BIOS settings - in the “User Defined Setting Bank #1” to “User Defined Setting Bank #4” fields.

Save Setting to Bank With

This field is used to select the type of setting you would like saved to a User Defined Setting Bank when you use the “Save to this Bank” function of that bank.

Current BIOS Setting This option will save the current BIOS setting

to the User Defined Setting Bank.

Last BIOS Setting This option will save the last saved BIOS set-

ting to the User Defined Setting Bank.

User Defined Setting Bank #1/2/3/4

Bank Description

To name the BIOS setting, move the cursor to “Bank Description” then press <Enter>. You can enter up to 60 characters. Providing a name to the BIOS setting will allow you to easily remember the settings in the bank.

Save to this Bank

To save the BIOS setting, move the cursor to “Save to this Bank” then press <Enter>. Type <Y> then press <Enter>. This will save the current setting or the last saved setting to this bank; depending on the option selected in the “Save Setting to Bank With” field.

If you want to immediately reboot to use the new settings, make sure to save before you exit the BIOS setup utility by selecting “Y” in the “Save & Exit Setup” submenu.

Page 97

BIOS Setup

Load from this Bank

To load the setting saved in the bank, move the cursor to “Load from this Bank” then press <Enter>. The setting in this bank will replace the current setting. Make sure to save before you exit the BIOS setup utility by selecting “Y” in the “Save & Exit Setup” submenu.

Hotkey

You can now load a BIOS setting during system boot up; bypassing the lengthy process of entering the BIOS utility to load a setting. Move the cursor to “Hotkey” then press <Enter>. Select the key you would like to use to load the settings from the bank. When the system boots up, press the key to load the setting.
