CAUTION!
1. This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may
choose to install either AMD 939-Pin CPU or AMD 754-Pin CPU into this
motherboard. However, to avoid instability and damage to the system, please
do not install both of them into this motherboard.
2. For power-saving sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD’s Cool ‘n’
QuietTM technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 39 to
enable AMD’s Cool ‘n’ QuietTM technology.
3. If you install a 939-Pin CPU into this motherboard, please refer to page 14 for
proper installation of memory modules on DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3.
4. If you install a 939-Pin CPU into this motherboard, it will support Dual Channel
Memory Technology. Before you implementDual Channel Memory Technology,
make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 14 for
proper installation.
5. 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 and the heatsink when you install the PC system.
6. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
7. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®XP
SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft®Windows®98/ ME.
Please refer to Microsoft®official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
8. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes.
For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel,
and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 10 for proper connection.
9. 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.

2. Installation
K8 Combo-Z is anATX form factor (12.0-in x 9.6-in, 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) motherboard.
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-
sure 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 anti-
static 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.

2.1 CPU Sockets
This motherboard is equipped with two types of CPU sockets. You may choose to
install either 939-Pin CPU (AMDAthlon 64FX) or 754-Pin CPU (AMDAthlon 64) into this
motherboard. However, to avoid instability and damage to the system, please do not
install both of them into this motherboard.
Important: If you install a 939-Pin CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to
adjust the setting of J1 / J2 / J3 / J4 / J5 / J6 / J7 Jumpers by shorting
pin2 and pin3 of all these seven sets of jumpers. These jumpers are set
to support 754-Pin CPU by shorting pin1 and pin2 by default. Please
refer to the figure below for these jumpers’ location on the motherboard.

2.2 CPU Installation
Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90oangle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that the CPU corner with
the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.
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.
To avoid instability and damage to the system, please do not install both
of 939-Pin CPU and 754-Pin CPU into this motherboard.
2.3 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 fas-
tened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to
the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 9, No. 4). For proper
installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan
and the heatsink.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
This motherboard is equipped with five 184-pinDDR (DoubleData Rate) DIMM slots.
I.
For 939-Pin CPU users, please install theDIMM intoDDR1,DDR2 andDDR3 slots (see
Page 9, No. 32). DDR1 and DDR2 slots support Dual Channel Memory Technology.
Since there are some limitations from AMD, please follow the table below for proper
configuration. Otherwise, the system may not boot up! For best compatibility of dual
channel configuration, it is highly recommended to install two identical (the same
brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules into the DDR DIMM slots to
activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. If you have two non-identical DDR
SDRAMs, please install them intoDDR1 andDDR3 for 64-bit mode. Besides, please do
not install 3DDRDIMMs intoDDR1,DDR2, andDDR3 at the same time. Otherwise, the
system cannot boot up!

Installing a DIMM
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 aDIMM on the slot such that the notch on theDIMM matches the break
on the slot.
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 theDIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

2.5 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots)
There are 3 PCI slots, and 1 AGP slot on K8 Combo-Z motherboard.
PCI Slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI
interface.
AGP slot: TheAGP slot is used to install a graphics card. TheASRock AGP slot has
a special design of clasp that can securely fasten the inserted graphics
card.
Please do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this
motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! For the voltage infor-
mation 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.

2.6 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.

(see p.9, No. 1) +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 or
USB wake up events.
Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by
power supply.

(see p.9, No. 14)
Note: CLRTC1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system
setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,
please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper
cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRTC1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to put
the jumper cap back to the default setting (short pin1 and pin2) after clearing
the CMOS.
