CAUTION!

1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the
motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it
back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal
grease between the CPU a nd the heatsink when you in stall the PC syste m.

2. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!

3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft
ME. Please refer to Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx

4. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended
to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU
bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the
CPU. The CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the
jumper-setting. To perform over-clocking, you must set the FSB jumper
according to your AMD CPU before you use the “Manual” option as the
FSB setting in BIOS setup. Please check page 26 for details.

2. Installation

K7Upgrade-600 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 8.2-in, 30.5 cm x 20.8 cm)
motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your
chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the
power 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, and/or components.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or
the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a
safety grounded object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti­static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard
to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may
damage the motherboard.

10

2.1 CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90° angle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner

matches the base of the socket lever.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down

the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to
indicate that it is locked.

Step 1 Step 2, 3 Step 4

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a
larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray
thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat
dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fas­tened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to
the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 8, No. 2). For proper
installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan
and the heatsink.

11

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

K7Upgrade-600 motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM
slots.

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the bre a k

on the slot.

notch
break

notch

break

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent
damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the
slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

12

2.4 Expansion Slots (K8 Bridge, PCI Slots, and AGP Slots)

2

3

There are 1 set of K8 Bridge, 4 PCI slots, and 2 AGP slots (the slot 1.5V_AGP1
supports for K7 AGP Interface, and the slot AGP2 supports for K8 AGP Interface) on
K7Upgrade-600 motherboard.

K8 Bridge

(Orange-Colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) + Brown-Colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2)):

The set of K8 Bridge allows you to upgrade your AMD 462-Pin CPU to AMD 754-Pin
CPU by installing an add-on ASRock 754Bridge (optional) into this K8 Bridge on
K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. Before you upgrade the AMD 462-Pin CPU to the
AMD 754-Pin CPU, it is necessary to adjust the jumper settings for those required
jumpers on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. Please refer to the table below for the
correct jumper settings.

The orange-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) is not an AGP slot, and the
brown-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2) is not an AMR slot! Please do
NOT insert any AGP card into the orange-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1)
and AMR card into the brown-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2)! It may
cause permanent damage to the hardware!

NOTE

When adjusting the jumper settings, you may use the tool, Jumper Cap Remover, to help you
removing the jumper caps more easily. This Jumper Cap Remover is bundled in your motherboard
package, and please follow the “Jumper Cap Remover Instruction” to use it properly.

PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

AGP slots: The AGP slots are used to install a graphics card. Please insert the AGP

card with K7 AGP Interface into the slot 1.5V_AGP1 (see page 8 No. 33),
or insert the AGP card with K8 AGP Interface into the slot AGP2 (see
page 8 No. 30). Please do not install AGP cards into the slot 1.5V_AGP1
and the slot AGP2 at the same time. It may cause permanent damage to
the hardware.

Please do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage! For the voltage information of your
AGP card, please check with the AGP card vendors.

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the
documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware
settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a

chassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws

for later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.
Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
Step 6. Replace the system cover.

2.5 Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1
and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is
placed on these 2 pins.

setup information such as system password, date, time, a nd system setup parameters. To
clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and
unplug the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper
cap to short the Clear CMOS jumper for 5 seconds. After shorting the Clear CMOS jumper,
please remove the jumper cap. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you
update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS,
you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS
action.
