1.5 System memory 1.5.1 Overview This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
T o remove a DIMM B A A 1.6 Expansion slots In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support. Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards.
1.6.2 Conguring an expansion card After installing the expansion card, congure it by adjusting the software settings. 1. T urn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any . See Chapter 2 for information on BIOS setup. 2. Assign an IRQ to the card.
1.7 Jumpers 1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC) This jumper allows you to clear the Real T ime Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. Y ou can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords.
2. PS2 and USB device wake-up (3-pin PS2_USBPW1~4) This jumper allows you to enable or disable the PS2 ports and USB ports 1~4 wake-up feature. When you set this jumper to pins 2-3 (+5VSB), you can wake up the computer using a PS2 or USB device.
1.8 Connectors 1.8.1 Rear panel ports 1. PS/2 Mouse port. This port connects to a PS/2 mouse. 2. Parallel port. This 25-pin port connects a parallel printer, a scanner , or other devices. 3. LAN (RJ-45) port. This port allows Gigabit connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a network hub.
T o congure an 8-channel audio output: Use a chassis with HD audio module in the front panel to support an 8-channel audio output. 7. USB 2.0 ports 1 and 2. These two 4-pin Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports are for USB 2.0/1.1 devices. 8. USB 2.0 ports 3 and 4 .
• For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with A TX 12 V Specication 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 350 W . • DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin A TX +12V power plug.
3. Intel ® H61 Serial A T A 3.0Gb/s connectors (7-pin SA T A3G_1~4) These connectors connect to Serial A T A 3.0 Gb/s hard disk drives and optical drives via Serial A T A 3.0 Gb/s signal cables. • Y ou must install Windows ® XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial A T A hard disk drives.
Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufcient air ow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan connectors! 5.
7. System panel connector (10-1 pin F_P ANEL) This connector supports several chassis-mounted functions. • System power LED (2-pin +PWR_LED-) This 2-pin connector is for the system power LED.
1.9 Software support 1.9.1 Installing an operating system This motherboard supports Windows ® XP / Windows ® V ista / Windows ® 7 / Windows ® 8 Operating Systems (OS). Always install the latest OS version and corresponding updates to maximize the features of your hardware.
