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. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 37 for details.

2. 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 11 for proper

installation.

3. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+

CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR2 1066 memory module on this

motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for

the compatible memory modules.

ASRock website http://www.asrock.com

4. Due to the operating system and chipset limitation, the actual memory

size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under

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

Windows®XP 64-bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. This motherboard supports ASRock AM2 Boost overclocking technology. If

you enable this function in the BIOS setup, the memory performance will

improve up to 12.5%, but the effect still depends on the AM2 CPU you

adopt. Enabling this function will overclock the chipset/CPU reference clock.

However, we can not guarantee the system stability for all CPU/DRAM

configurations. If your system is unstable after AM2 Boost function is enabled,

it may not be applicative to your system. You may choose to disable this

function for keeping the stability of your system.

8. Please remove PCIE Switch card from PCIE2/PCIE SWITCH slot before

you use ATITM CrossFireTM function. In CrossFireTM mode, the two ATITM graph-

ics cards you install should be from the same GPU family.

8ASRock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 Motherboard

EnglishEnglish

English

9. This motherboard is bundled with one PCIE Switch card installed on PCIE2/

PCIE SWITCH slot, which allows you better flexibility to choose PCIE func-

tions between one PCIE x16 slot and two PCIE slots for ATITM CrossFireTM

without setting up jumpers. To avail of the PCI Express x16 graphics card

installed on PCIE3 slot work at PCIE x16 bandwidth, please make sure that

PCIE Switch card is installed on PCIE2/PCIE SWITCH slot. Please refer to

page 15 for details of installing a single graphics card.

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

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel

and 6-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for proper

connection.

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

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 30 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to

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

directly.

12. This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SATAII

specification. Please read “eSATAII Interface Introduction” on page 27

for details about eSATAII and eSATAII installation procedures.

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

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

Installation

This is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 8.2-in, 30.5 cm x 20.8 cm) motherboard.

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to en-

sure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

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.

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 anti-

static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

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

to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may

damage the motherboard.

CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90oangle.

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.

Installation of CPU Fan and HeatsinkInstallation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a

larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray

thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat

dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fas-

tened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to

the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 2, No. 3). For proper

installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan

and the heatsink.
