motherboard. This motherboard supports native FSB1600/1333/1066/
800 MHz. For normal operation, you do no need to adjust the jumper
settings. For special overclocking mode, please refer to page 29 for
proper jumper settings.
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page
58.
3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 53 for details.
4. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before
you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read
the installation guide of memory modules on page 20 for proper
installation.
5. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its
corresponding memory support frequency.

6. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be
less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®XP
and Windows®VistaTM. For Windows®XP 64-bit and Windows®VistaTM
64-bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.
7. This motherboard supports ATITM CrossFireTM technology. If you want to

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-
channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on
page 13 and 14 for proper connection.
9. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the
“SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 40 to adjust your SATAII hard
disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII
connector directly.
10. This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SATAII
specification. Please read “eSATAII Interface Introduction” on page 37
for details about eSATAII and eSATAII installation procedures.

13. It is a user-friendly ASRock overclocking tool which allows you to surveil
your system by hardware monitor function and overclock your hardware
devices to get the best system performance under Windows®
environment. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of
ASRock OC Tuner. ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com
14. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recom-
mended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recom-
mended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system
or damage the CPU.
15. 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.
16. ASRock WiFi-802.11g module and RAID / AHCI functions are not
supported under Windows® 2000 OS. It is recommended to use IDE
mode under Windows® 2000. Please refer to page 64 for detailed setup.

Chapter 2: Installation
This is an ATX form factor (12.0" x 9.6", 30.5 x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before you install
the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard
fits into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and
damages to motherboard components.
2.1 Screw Holes2.1 Screw Holes
2.1 Screw Holes2.1 Screw Holes
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
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.
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.

2.3 CPU Installation
For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,
please follow the steps below.
Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if
the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.
Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is
found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.
Step 1. Open the socket:
Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing
down and out on the hook to clear
retention tab.
Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-
sition at approximately 135 degrees.
Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-
sition at approximately 100 degrees.
Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:
Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are
marked with black lines.
Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated
Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two
orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key
notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.
Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket
by using a purely vertical motion.
Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket
and properly mated to the orient keys.
Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):
Use your left hand index finger and thumb to
support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap
with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the
socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to
assist in removal.
1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking
off the PnP cap.
2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after
service.
Step 4. Close the socket:
Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS.
Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load
plate, engage the load lever.
Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab
under retention tab of load lever.

Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.
Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU
to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal
interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.
Ensure 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 11/12, No. 1).
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of
your CPU fan and heatsink.
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.
Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center
of IHS on the socket surface.
Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure
fan cables are oriented on side closest to the
CPU fan connector on the motherboard
(CPU_FAN1, see page 11/12, No. 1).
Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard
throughholes.
Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press
down on fastener caps with thumb to install
and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,
the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.
Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan
connector on the motherboard.
Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure
cable does not interfere with fan operation or
contact other components.

This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots and
four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel
Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install
identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR2/DDR3 DIMM pair in
the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR2
DIMM pair in Dual ChannelA (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see p.11/12 No.
6), identicalDDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1; Green
slots; see p.11/12 No.7), or identicalDDR3 DIMM pair in DualChannelC(DDR3_A2
and DDR3_B2; Pink slots; see p.11/12 No.8), so that Dual Channel Memory Tech-
nology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR3
DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identicalDDR3 DIMMs in
all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

the same color. In other words, install them in the set of yellow
slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2), in the set of green slots (DDR3_A1
and DDR3_B1), or in the set of pink slots (DDR3_A2 and
DDR3_B2).
