For power-saving sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 39 to enable AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology. 2. 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 3. 4. 5. CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! 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. 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 1 2 3 22.9cm (9.0-in) PS2_USB_PW1 4 5 6 7 89 PS2 Mouse 1 CPU_FAN1 1 J15 1 IR1 ATX12V1 SOCKET 754 FSB800 Super I/O DDR2 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR1 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) USB 2.0 T: USB2 B: USB3 34 USB 2.0 Top: T: USB0 RJ-45 B: USB1 1 1 ATXPWR1 USB45 1 1 1 1 J3 J4 1 1 1 J10 JR1 JL1 1.5V_AGP1 LAN PHY PCI 1 VIA VT8237R Chipset CMOS Battery CHA_FAN1 CLRCMOS2 SPEAKER1 1 ATA133 31 30 29 28 8 J1 J2 AUX1 DDR400 33 32 J5 J6 CD1 5.1CH AUDIO1 1 FUTURE_CPU_PORT1 1 J9 FLOPPY1 SATA AGP 8X IDE1 IDE2 24.4cm (9.6-in) USB2.0 PS2 Keyboard PARALLEL PORT 1 Top: Line In 4Mb BIOS 10 11 Shared USB 2.0 T: USB4 B: USB5 VGA1 Center: Line Out Bottom: Mic In 12 13 14 J7 J8 VIA K8M800 Chipset SATA1 SATA2 15 16 17 27 AUDIO CODEC K8Upgrade-VM800 PCI 2 AMR1 1 1 1 USB67 1 PLED PWRBTN PANEL 1 HDLED RESET GAME1 COM1 1 18 19 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 PS2_USB_PWR1 Jumper ATX 12V Power Connector (ATX12V1) CPU Fan Connector (CPU_FAN1) 754-Pin CPU Socket CPU Heatsink Retention Module North Bridge Controller 184-pin DDR DIMM Slots (DDR1- 2) J9 / J10 / J15 Jumpers Infrared Module Header (IR1) Flash Memory ATX Power Connector (ATXPWR1) Floppy Connector (FLOPPY1) Primary IDE Connector (IDE1, Blue) Secondary IDE Connector (IDE2, Black) South Bridge Controller Primary Serial ATA Connector (SATA1) Secondary Serial ATA Connector (SATA2) 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 System Panel Header (PANEL1) Game Port Header (GAME1) Chassis Speaker Header (SPEAKER 1) USB 2.0 Header (USB67, Blue) Chassis Fan Connector (CHA_FAN1) Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRCMOS2) AGP Slot (1.5V_AGP1) COM Port Header (COM1) AMR Slot (AMR1) PCI Slots (PCI1- 2) JR1 / JL1 Jumpers Front Panel Audio Header (AUDIO1) Future CPU Port (FUTURE_CPU_PORT1) Internal Audio Connector: AUX1 (White) Internal Audio Connector: CD1 (Black) Shared USB 2.0 Header (USB45, Blue) J1 - J8 Jumpers 8 1.4 ASRock I/O Plus TM 1 2 3 4 5 11 10 9 8 7 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 Parallel Port RJ-45 Port Line In (Light Blue) Line Out (Lime) Microphone (Pink) Shared USB 2.0 Ports (USB45) 7 8 9 10 11 USB 2.0 Ports (USB01) USB 2.0 Ports (USB23) VGA Port PS/2 Keyboard Port (Purple) PS/2 Mouse Port (Green) 9 2.
