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. Whether 2400/2133/1866/1600MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 2400/2133/1866/1600 memory module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for the compatible memory modules.

ASRock website http://www.asrock.com

1. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows ^® 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7. For Windows ^® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

1.3 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.

Short

Open

Jumper Setting Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.2, No. 15)

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, user default profile, 1394 GUID and MAC address 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.

1.4 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_1: see p.2, No. 8) (SATA2) connectors support

(SATA_2: see p.2, No. 9) SATA data cables for internal

(SATA_3: see p.2, No. 6) storage devices. The current

(SATA_4: see p.2, No. 7) SATA2 interface allows up to

3.0 Gb/s data transfer rate.

USB 2.0 Headers Besides four default USB 2.0

(9-pin USB_4_5) ports on the I/O panel, there

(see p.2 No. 16) are two USB 2.0 headers on

this motherboard. Each USB 2.0

header can support two USB P-4 USB PWR

(9-pin USB_6_7) 2.0 ports.

(see p.2 No. 14)

Front Panel Audio Header This is an interface for the front

(9-pin HD_AUDIO1) panel audio cable that allows

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

control of audio devices.

S is an interrad able that allows ection and J_SENSE OUT2_R MIC2_R MIC2_L OUT2_L

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 ^® 8.1 / 8.1 64-bit / 7 / 7 64-bit 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 panel

(see p.2 No. 12) 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 sys-tem is in S3 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in 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 assign-ments are matched correctly.

Chassis Speaker Header Please connect the chassis

(4-pin SPEAKER 1) speaker to this

(see p.2 No. 11)

+5V DUMMY

Chassis and Power Fan Connectors Please connect the fan cables

(4-pin CHA_FAN1) to the fan connectors and

speed can be controlled through

UEFI or A-Tuning.

CPU Fan Connectors Please connect the CPU fan

(4-pin CPU_FAN1) cable to the connector and

(see p.2 No. 3) 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. 5)

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.

Please connect an ATX 12V

power supply to this connector.

Chassis Intrusion Header This motherboard supports

(2-pin CI1) CASE OPEN detection ^1 feature

(see p.2, No. 13) that detects if the chassis cover

has been removed. This feature requires a chassis with chassis intrusion detection design.

TPM Header This connector supports

(17-pin TPMS1) Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

(see p.2, No. 18) system, which can securely

store keys, digital certificates, passwords, and data. A TPM

system also helps enhance network security, protects

digital identities, and ensures platform integrity.
