WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system's stability, or even cause damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.

CAUTION!

1. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 8 / 7 / Vista™ / XP. For Windows® OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that Windows® cannot use.
2. xvYCC is only supported under Windows® 8 64-bit / 8 / 7 64-bit / 7. HBR is supported under Windows® 8 64-bit / 8 / 7 64-bit / 7 / Vista™ 64-bit / Vista™.

1.3 Pin Header Easy Installation Guide

ASRock motherboard is equipped with pin headers with obvious colors which indicate you to recognize the crucial headers more easily. Please refer to below illustrations for the pin definition of onboard headers. If you want to have more information about the usage of these headers, please refer to "Jumper Setup" and "Onboard Headers and Connectors" for details.

Front Panel Audio Header

1.4 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.

Jumper	Setting		Description
Clear CMOS Jumper	1_2	2_3
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.2, No. 1)		Clear CMOSDefault

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. 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 pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. 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. Please be noted that the password, date, time and user default profile will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detected. Please adjust the BIOS option "Clear Status" to clear the record of previous chassis intrusion status.

1.5 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the motherboard!

Serial ATA2 Connectors These four Serial ATA2

(SATA_0 (PORT 0): (SATA2) connectors support SATA_0 (PORT 0) SATA_2 (PORT 4)

see p.2.No.4) SATA data cables for internal (SATA_1 (PORT 1): storage devices. The current

see p.2, No.3) SATA2 interface allows up to SATA_1 (PORT 1) SATA_3 (PORT 5) (SATA_2 (PORT 4): 3.0 Gb/s data transfer rate.

see p.2, No. 5)

(SATA 3 (PORT 5):

see p.2, No. 6

Serial ATA (SATA) Either end of the SATA data

Data Cable cable can be connected to the

(Optionai) SATA / SATA2 hard disk or the SATA2 connector on this

motherboard.

USB 2.0 Headers Besides four default USB 2.0

(9-pin USB4_5) ports on the I/O panel, there

(see p.2 No. 7) are two USB 2.0 headers on this motherboard. Each

USB 2.0 header can support

two USB 2.0 ports.

(9-pin USB6_7)

(see p.2 No.8)

Consumer Infrared Module Header This header can be used to

(4-pin CIR1)

(see p.2 No.9)

connect the remote

controller receiver.

Front Panel Audio Header This is an interface for front

(9-pin HD AUDIO01) panel audio cable that allows

(see p.2 No.17) convenient connection and

control of audio devices.

1. High Definition Audio supports Jack Sensing, but the panel wire on the chassis must support HDA to function correctly. Please follow the instruction in our manual and chassis manual to install your system.

2. If you use AC'97 audio panel, please install it to the front panel audio header as below:

A. Connect Mic_IN (MIC) to MIC2_L.
B. Connect Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2_R and Audio_L (LIN) to OUT2_L.
C. Connect Ground (GND) to Ground (GND).
D. MIC_RET and OUT_RET are for HD audio panel only. You don't need to connect them for AC'97 audio panel.
E.To activate the front mic. For Windows XP/XP 64-bit OS:

Select "Mixer". Select "Recorder". Then click "FrontMic". For Windows 8/864-bit /7/764-bit/Vista™/Vista™64-bit OS: Go to the "FrontMic" Tab in the Realtek Control panel. Adjust "Recording Volume".

System Panel Header This header accommodates

(9-pin PANEL1) several system front

(see p.2 No.13)

functions.

Connect the power switch, reset switch and system status indicator on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins before connecting the cables.

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Switch):

Connect to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (System Power LED):

Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).

HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data.

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.

Chassis Fan Connector Please connect the fan cables

(3-pin CHA_FAN1) to the fan connected

(see p.2 No. 2) match the black wire to the CHA FAH SPEEC

ground

pin.

CPU Fan Connectors Please connect the CPU fan

(4-pin CPU_FAN1) cable to the connector and

(see p.2 No. 18) match the black wire to the

ground

pin.

Though this motherboard provides 4-Pin CPU fan (Quiet Fan) support, the 3-Pin

CPU fan still can work successfully even without the fan speed control function. If you plan to connect the 3-Pin CPU fan to the CPU fan connector on this motherboard, please connect it to Pin 1-3.

Pin 1-3 Connected

3-Pin Fan Installation

ATX Power Connector Please connect an ATX power

(24-pin ATXPWR1) supply to this connector.

(see p.2 No.10)

Though this motherboard provides 24-pin ATX power connector, it can still work if you adopt a traditional 20-pin ATX power supply. To use the 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along with Pin 1 and Pin 13.

20-Pin ATX Power Supply Installation

ATX 12V Power Connector Please connect an ATX 12V

(4-pin ATX12V1) power supply to this connector.

(see p.2 No.19)

HDMI_SPDIF Header HDMI_SPDIF header, providing

(2-pin HDMI_SPDIF1) SPDIF audio output to HDMI

(see p.2 No.16) VGA card, allows the system to

connect HDMI Digital TV/

projector/LCD devices. Please

connect the HDMI_SPDIF

connector of HDMI VGA card to

this

header.

Chassis Intrusion Header This motherboard supports

(2-pin C11) CASE OPEN detection feature

(see p.2, No. 11) that detects if the chassis cover

has been removed. This feature

requires a chassis with chassis

intrusion detection design.

2. BIOS Information

The Flash Memory on the motherboard stores BIOS Setup Utility. When you start up the computer, please press or during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter BIOS Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. If you wish to enter BIOS Setup after POST, please restart the system by pressing + + , or pressing the reset button on the system chassis. The BIOS Setup program is designed to be user-friendly. It is a menu-driven program, which allows you to scroll through its various sub-menus and to select among the predetermined choices. For the detailed information about BIOS Setup, please refer to the User Manual (PDF file) contained in the Support CD.

3. Software Support CD information
