Overclocking may affect your system 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. English English English English English 6 ASRock P4i65G Motherboard CAUTION! 1. 2. 3. About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 23 of "User Manual" in the support CD. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 15 for details. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 9 for proper installation. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its corresponding CPU FSB frequency. CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency 800 533 DDR266, DDR320*, DDR400 DDR266, DDR333 4. * When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at 5. DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module. 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. 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 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 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME. 6. 7. 8. ASRock P4i65G Motherboard 7 English 2. Installation Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. 2. 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. 3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs. 4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component. 2.1 CPU Installation STEP 1: Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 angle. STEP 2: Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. STEP 3: 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. o 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. STEP 5: Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors. English 8 ASRock P4i65G Motherboard 2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDR DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode. If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. Installing a DIMM Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. Step 1. Step 2. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. Step 3. 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. ASRock P4i65G Motherboard 9 English 2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI,AGP and AMR Slots) There are 3 PCI slots, 1 AGP slot, and 1 AMR slot on this motherboard. PCI slots: The PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. AGP slot: The AGP slot is used to install a graphics card. The ASRock AGP slot has a special design of clasp that can securely fasten the inserted graphics card. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! AMR slot: AMR slot is used to insert an ASRock MR card (optional) with v.92 Modem functionality. Installing an expansion card Step 1. 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. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installe ...
