For power-saving sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 37 to enable AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology. 2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI/PCIE buses. In other words, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking, but PCIE and PCI buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment. 3. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the 4. 5. CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 9 for 6. proper connection. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. 7 1.3 Motherboard Layout 12 22.4cm (8.8-in) 1 PS2_USB_PW1 PS2 Mouse 3 4 5 6 ATX12V1 939S56-M FSB 1GHz DDR1 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR2 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR3 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR4 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) 30 DDR400 USB 2.0 T: USB2 B: USB3 Dual Channel IDE2 EXPRESS ATXPWR1 USB 2.0 T: USB0 Top: RJ-45 B: USB1 Dual Core CPU ATA133 24.4cm (9.6-in) PCI PS2 Keyboard PARALLEL PORT Top: REAR SPK Center: SIDE SPK SOCKET 939 COM1 Bottom: CTR BASS 7 CPU_FAN1 29 Bottom: MIC IN Top: LINE IN Center: FRONT SiS 756 Chipset 8 CD1 7.1CH 28 27 LAN PHY IDE1 PCIE 1 9 PCI 1 SATA USB2.0 SiS 965L Chipset 26 PCI 2 SATA2 SATA1 CMOS Battery 2Mb BIOS IR1 1 1 10 11 12 PLED PWRBTN 25 AUDIO CODEC 24 PCIE 2 JR1 JL1 1 1 Super I/O FLOPPY1 1 CLRCMOS2 USB_H45 1 USB67 1 SPEAKER1 GAME1 1 HDLED RESET PANEL 1 AUDIO1 CHA_FAN1 23 22 21 20 1918 17 16 15 14 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 PS2_USB_PW1 Jumper ATX 12V Connector (ATX12V1) 939-Pin CPU Socket CPU Heatsink Retention Module 2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM Slots (Dual Channel A: DDR1, DDR2; Blue) 2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM Slots (Dual Channel B: DDR3, DDR4; Black) Secondary IDE Connector (IDE2, Black) Primary IDE Connector (IDE1, Blue) North Bridge Controller South Bridge Controller Primary Serial ATA Connector (SATA1) Secondary Serial ATA Connector (SATA2) System Panel Header (PANEL1) Chassis Speaker Header (SPEAKER 1) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Chassis Fan Connector (CHA_FAN1) USB 2.0 Header (USB67, Blue) USB 2.0 Header (USB_H45, Blue) Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRCMOS2) Infrared Module Header (IR1) Flash Memory Floppy Connector (FLOPPY1) Game Port Header (GAME1) Front Panel Audio Header (AUDIO1) JR1JL1 Jumper PCI EXPRESS Slot (PCIE2) PCI Slots (PCI1 - 2) PCI EXPRESS Slot (PCIE1) Internal Audio Connector: CD1 (Black) ATX Power Connector (ATXPWR1) CPU Fan Connector (CPU_FAN1) 8 1.4 ASRock 8CH I/O 1 2 3 4 5 13 12 11 10 9 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 Parallel Port RJ-45 Port Rear Speaker (Gray) Side Speaker (Black) Central / Bass (Orange) Line In (Light Blue) Front Speaker (Lime) 8 9 10 11 12 13 Microphone (Pink) USB 2.0 Ports (USB01) USB 2.0 Ports (USB23) Serial Port: COM1 PS/2 Keyboard Port (Purple) PS/2 Mouse Port (Green) *7 * If you use 2-channel speaker, please connect the speaker's plug into "Front Speaker Jack".
