Chapter 2 Installation

This is an ATX form factor 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.

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 1151-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.
2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 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, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

Dual Channel Memory Configuration

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

There is 1 PCI Express slot and 1 mini-PCI Express slot on the motherboard.

Before installing an 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.

PCIe slot:

PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.

mini-PCIe slot:

MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot) is used for WiFi module.

* This Mini-PCI Express Slot supports WiFi and mSATA devices.

2.5 Jumpers Setup

The 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". The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are "Short" when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

Short

Open

Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRMOS1)

(see p.1, No. 9)

Clear CMOSDefault

CLRMOS1 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 CLRMOS1 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.

2.6 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 to the motherboard.

System Panel Header (9-pin PANEL1) (see p.1, No. 8)

GND GND RESET# GND PWRBTN# GND PLED- HDLED- PLED+ HDLED+ 1

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):

Enabling USB Ports for Windows ^® 7 Installation

Intel® Braswell and Skylake has removed their support for the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI – USB2.0) and only kept the eXtensible Host Controller Interface (XHCI – USB3.0). Due to that fact that XHCI is not included in the Windows 7 inbox drivers, users may find it difficult to install Windows 7 operating system because the USB ports on their motherboard won’t work. In order for the USB ports to function properly, please create a Windows® 7 installation disk with the Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) drivers packed into the ISO file.

Requirements

A Windows ^® 7 installation disk or USB drive USB 3.0 drivers (included in the ASRock Support CD or website) A Windows ^® PC Win7 USB Patcher (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)

Scenarios

You have an ODD and PS/2 ports:

If there is an optical disc drive, PS/2 ports and PS/2 Keyboard or mouse on your computer, you can skip the instructions below and go ahead to install Windows ^® 7 OS.

You only have an ODD (For Intel Skylake platforms only):

If there is an optical disc drive but no PS/2 ports on your computer, please enable the "PS/2 Simulator" option in UEFI SETUP UTILITY > Advanced > USB Configuration, which allows the USB port to function as a PS/2 port, and then you can install the Windows* 7 OS. Please set PS/S Simulator back to disabled after the installation.

You've got nothing:

If you do not have an optical disc drive, please find another computer and follow the instructions below to create a new ISO file with the "Win7 USB Patcher". Then use the new patched Windows ^® 7 installation USB drive to install Windows ^® 7 OS.

Instructions

Step 1

Insert the Windows* 7 installation disk or USB drive to your system.

Step 2

Extract the tool (Win7 USB Patcher) and launch it.

Step 3

Select the "Win7 Folder" from Step1 by clicking the red circle as shown as the picture below.

ASRock WIN 7 USB PATCHER Win7 Folder: D:1 ... USB Driver Folder: D:1 ... ISO Image Destination: C:\Users\YuJu\Desktop\win7_patched.iso ... Target Device to Burn: D:1 Burn Image? Please complete the basic settings. Start >

If you are using ASRock's Support CD for the USB 3.0 driver, please select your CD-ROM.

Step 5

Select where to save the ISO file by pressing the red circle as shown as the picture below.

ASRock WIN 7 USB PATCHER Win7 Folder: D:\ ... USB Driver Folder: D:\ ... ISO Image Destination: C:\Users\YuJu\Desktop\win7_patched.iso ... Target Device to Burn: Burn Image? D:\ Please complete the basic settings. Start >

Step 6

If you want to burn the patched image to a CD, please check "Burn Image" and select "Target Device to Burn". If not, the patched ISO image will be exported to the destination selected in Step5. Then Press "Start" to proceed.

Step 7

Now you are able to install Windows ^® 7 on Braswell or Skylake with the new burned CD. Or please use the patched ISO image to make an OS USB drive to install the OS.
