• For detailed product information, please visit our website: http://www.asrock.com Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjust- ing the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third- party overclocking tools. Overclocking may aect 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. Due to limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 32-bit operating systems. Windows® 64-bit operat- ing systems do not have such limitations. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that Windows® cannot use.10 English is is an ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it. Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard components.

In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components, NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

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

Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag that comes with the components.

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

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1150-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on

the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

English Please save and replace the cover if the processor is removed. e cover must be placed if you wish to return the motherboard for aer service.14 English

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

is motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Dual Channel Memory Conguration e DIMM only ts 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. Priority DDR3_A1 DDR3_A2 DDR3_B1 DDR3_B2 1 Populated Populated 2 Populated Populated 3 Populated Populated Populated Populated

1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identical (the same

brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR3 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one or three

memory module installed.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.16 English

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)

ere are 2 PCI slots and 4 PCI Express slots on the motherboard. PCI slots: e PCI1 and PCI2 slots are used to install expansion cards that have 32-bit PCI interface. PCIe slots: PCIE1 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards. PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. PCIE3 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards. PCIE4 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards. Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o 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.18 English

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins. Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRCMOS1) (see p.1, No. 21) CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. Aer 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 aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed. Clear CMOSDefaultH97 Pro4

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors
