User manual ASROCK 4CORE1333-GLAN

[. . . ] See the table below for connection details in accordance with the type of speaker you use. * To enable Multi-Streaming function, you need to connect a front panel audio cable to the front Choose "2CH", "4CH", "6CH", or "8CH" and then you are allowed to select "Realtek HDA Primary output" to use Rear Speaker, Central/Bass, and Front Speaker, or select "Realtek HDA Audio 2nd output" to use front panel audio. After restarting your computer, you will find "Mixer" tool on your system. More detailed information of the motherboard can be found in the user manual presented in the Support CD. [. . . ] 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. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press down on fastener caps with thumb to install and lock. If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise, the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure cable does not interfere with fan operation or contact other components. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3; Yellow slots; see p. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. DDRII_1 DDRII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4 (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) 2 memory modules SS X SS X 2 memory modules DS X DS X 2 memory modules X SS X SS 2 memory modules X DS X DS 4 memory modules SS SS SS SS If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4). If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDRII_1 and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology . It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged. Recommended Memory Configurations (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side) DDRII_1 DDRII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4 (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) 1 memory module DS/SS* X X X 2 memory modules DS/SS X DS/SS X 2 memory modules X DS/SS X DS/SS 3 memory modules SS SS DS/SS X 4 memory modules SS SS SS SS * If you only install one memory module, you can install it to any one of the four slots. Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. PCIE slots: PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x16 lane width graphics cards. PCIE2 / PCIE3 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x1 lane width cards, such as Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card, etc. Before installing the 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. [. . . ] This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter "Overclock Mode" option of BIOS setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, PCIE, Async. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment. Please refer to the warning on page 6 for the possible overclocking risk before you apply Untied Overclocking Technology. [. . . ]
