CAUTION!

1. For power-saving’s sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD’s Cool ‘n’

QuietTM technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 46 of

“User Manual” in the Support CD to enable AMD’s Cool ‘n’ QuietTM technology.

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

tied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.

3. 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 10 for proper installation.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes.

For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel,

and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for proper connection.

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

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 21 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to

SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector

directly.

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

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

9. Microsoft®Windows®VistaTM driver is not ready yet. We will update it to our

website in the future. Please visit our website for Microsoft®Windows®VistaTM

driver and related information.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-

board 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 car-

pet 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.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the

motherboardto thechassis,please do not over-tighten thescrews!

Doing so may damage the motherboard.

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 the CPU corner with

the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.

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.

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.

2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

ALiveNF4G-DVI motherboard provides four 240-pinDDRII (Double Data Rate II)

DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel

configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed,

size and chip-type)DDRIIDIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words,

you have to install identical DDRIIDIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and

DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see p.2No.6) or identical DDRIIDIMM pair in Dual Chan-

nel B (DDRII_3 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.2 No.7), so that Dual Channel

Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to

install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install iden-

tical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory

Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

DDRII_1 DDRII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4

(Yellow Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Orange Slot)

(1) Populated Populated - -

(2) - - Populated Populated

(3)* Populated Populated Populated Populated

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDRIIDIMMs in all four slots.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow

slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_3

and DDRII_4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules inDDRII_1

and DDRII_3, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology .

4. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
