PC1600 (DDR200) is supported ONLY when using FSB200 (Duron) processor. 2. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly before you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. 3. Do NOT insert a 3.3V AGP card into the AGP slot of K7VM4 motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! 4. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ME/2000. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx 5. Although K7VM4 offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of K7VM4 is set to perform over clocking, other clocks, such as PCI clock, AGP clock, and Memory clock will also be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. 6 1.3 Motherboard Layout 1 23 21.8cm (8.6 in) 4 5 6 PS/2 FID0 FID1 FID2 FID3 FID4 1 1 1 1 1 Mouse Keyboard VGA PARALLEL PORT PS/2 LAN USB 2.0 Ports DDR1 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR2 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) 24.4cm (9.6 in) 30 ATXPWR1 USB 2.0 Ports 7 8 29 GAME AUDIO1 GAME AUDIO1 Line out LAN PHY Line Line in In VIA KM400 Chipset CPU_FAN1 K7VM4 Mic Mic in In 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 AUDIO CODEC 1 PS2_USB_PWR1 01 23 IDE2 IDE1 9 2MB BIOS AGP1 PCI 1 1 CMOS Battery FS0 CLRCMOS1 AUDIO1 1 AGP 8X Super I/O JR1 JL1 PCI 2 USB2.0 PCI 3 COM1 VIA VT8235CE CHA_FAN1 10 11 12 13 ATA133 SPEAKER1 FLOPPY1 USB45 1 1 1 AMR1 IR1 PLED PWRBTN 1 HDLED 14 PANEL 1 RST 1 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 ATX power connector (ATXPWR1) CPU fan connector (CPU_FAN1) North Bridge controller Secondary IDE connector (IDE2, Black) AGP slot (AGP1) FSB select jumper (FS0) Chassis fan connector (CHA_FAN1) System panel connector (PANEL1) USB 2.0 header (USB45, Blue) Floppy connector (FLOPPY1) AMR slot (AMR1) JR1 jumper AUDIO CODEC Internal audio connector: CD1 (Black) PS2_USB_PWR1 jumper 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 FID Jumpers (FID0, FID1, FID2, FID3, FID4) CPU socket 184-pin DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1- 2) Primary IDE connector (IDE1, Blue) Clear CMOS (CLRCMOS1, 2-pin jumper) South Bridge controller External speaker connector (SPEAKER 1) Infrared module connector (IR1) PCI slots (PCI 1- 3) Serial port connector (COM1) JL1 jumper Front panel audio connector (AUDIO1) Flash Memory Internal audio connector: AUX1 (White) LAN PHY 7 1.4 ASRock I/O TM 1 2 3 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 1 3 5 7 9 Parallel port Game port Line In (Light Blue) USB 2.0 ports PS/2 keyboard port (Purple) 2 4 6 8 10 RJ-45 port Microphone (Pink) Line Out (Lime) VGA port PS/2 mouse port (Green) 8 Chapter 2 Installation K7VM4 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6" x 8.6", 24.4 x 21.8 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components. 2.1 Screw Holes Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis. Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard. 2.2 Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. 1. 2. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle components. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. 3. 4. 9 2.3 CPU Installation Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 angle. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins. Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked. o Step 1 Step 2, 3 Step 4 2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink AMD AthlonTM / AthlonTM XP/ DuronTM family CPUs with a speed of 600 MHz and higher require larger heatsink and cooling fan. Thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink is also needed to improve heat transfer. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of vendors of CPU fan and heatsink. 10 2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) K7VM4 motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots. Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. Step 1. Step 2. Ste ...
