WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting

the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using the third-

party overclocking tools. 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.

CAUTION!

1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 26

of “User Manual” in the support CD.

2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un-

tied Overclocking Technology” on page 16 for details.

3. This motherboard supportsDual Channel Memory Technology. Before you

implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the

installation guide of memory modules on page 10 for proper installation.

4. Due to the chipset limitation, the actual memory size may be less than

4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®XP, Windows®

XP 64-bit, Windows®VistaTM and Windows®VistaTM 64-bit.

5. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and

is subject to change. Please check Intel®website for the latest information.

6. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 19 of “User Manual” in the support CD to

adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA

hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

7. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®

VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

8. It is a user-friendly ASRock overclocking tool which allows you to surveil

your system by hardware monitor function and overclock your hardware

devices to get the best system performance under Windows® environment.

Please visit our website for the operation procedures of ASRock OC

Tuner. ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

9. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS

without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows®. With

this utility, you can press <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please

be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file

system.

10. 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.

11. 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.

2. Installation

A330GC / A230GC is a Mini-IXT form factor (6.7" x 6.7", 17.0 x 17.0 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 Holes2.1 Screw Holes

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 Precautions2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

2.2 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.

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 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.

Installation of CPU FanInstallation of CPU Fan

Installation of CPU Fan

This motherboard is equipped with CPU heatsink. Please adopt the type of cooling

fan compliant with the CPU heatsink to dissipate heat. Then connect the CPU fan to

the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 2).

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manual of

your CPU fan.

Step 1. Place the CPU fan onto the CPU heatsink. Ensure fan cables are oriented on

side closest to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard (CPU_FAN1, see

page 2, No. 2).

Step 2. Rotate the CPU fan screws to fasten it on the CPU heatsink.

Step 3. Connect fan header with the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

Step 4. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure cable does not interfere with

fan operation or contact other components.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

A330GC / A230GC motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2)

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 theDDR2DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel

Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDR2 slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

2. 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 DIMMInstalling a DIMM

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock aDIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align aDIMM on the slot such that the notch on theDIMM matches the break

on the slot.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and theDIMM if you force theDIMM into the

slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert theDIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and theDIMM is properly seated.
