ATI CrossFire Technology Introduction
ATI released today its new technology that allows two video cards to be
connected together in parallel in order to increase the system gaming performance –
theoretically this technology can double it, called Crossfire. When two ATI cards are
linked up, they are capable of using three different methods to split the rendering load
between them—super tiling, scissor, and alternate frame rendering. Super tiling is
supported only in Direct3D applications; it divides up the display into 32x32 pixel
squares, like a chess board, where each card renders alternate tiles. Both Direct3D and
OpenGL applications can benefit from scissor mode, where the screen is split in half
horizontally, with one card rendering the top half while the other does the bottom half.
Finally, Alternate frame rendering mode does just what it sounds like: The two cards
take turns rendering frames.
Crossfire allows you to use different video cards which stay on the same family
together. The only requirement is that one of the cards must be “Crossfire Edition”,
the other card can be an early model, but if their memory is not the same, system will
recognize GDDR of the small one as default.ATI suggest users use the same model.
NOTE: When you make a Crossfire system, we suggest you using a driver newer than
Catalyst® driver 5.12.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you had better complete the following steps:
1. Install CPU and Fan
2. Install System Memory (DIMM)
3. Fix into the case
4. Install all of the Expansion cards
5. Connect IDE and Floppy cables, ATX Power cable, Front Panel /Back Panel cable
Step 1: Install CPU
The C.945PL Ver2.1 motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium D/Core TM 2 Duo/
Pentium 4 / Celeron D CPU processors in the LGA775 socket .
When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent
overheating.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL Socket-478/Socket-A processor (like PPGA
Celeron, FCPGA Pentium-III, Pentium-MMX or AMD CPU etc.) on LGA775.
Install Procedures:
a. Remove the plastic cap from lever hinge side and lift the load lever up and open the
load plate.
b. Correctly align the triangle of CPU Clip with the CPU chamfer, and the square on
the CPU Clip to the hook of the socket. Use your thumb and the middle fingers to
push the clips to release the CPU, and then press down the CPU with your index
finger to allow the whole module to be installed onto the CPU socket. Then cover the
load plate onto the package.
c. Install the cooler. Connect the power cable to the CPU_FAN connector.
NOTE: After installing the system, please check and set the CPU frequency.
Step 2: Install Memory
The motherboard provides 4 slots for 240-pin DDR2 DIMM, which supports
dual-channel DDR2 533/667/800MHz.
The clock can be set in BIOS. Please refer to “Advanced Chipset Features Setup”
section for more detail information.
Install Steps:
a. Open the white plastic clip at each side of the DIMM.
b. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in
until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.
c. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
Install Dual-channel
C.945PL Ver2.1 motherboard supports dual-channel DDR2 533/667/800MHz
memory interface, while both channels (in different color) populated with same
amount of memory size will work as dual-channel DDR.
NOTE: The memories must be the same type, same size, and same frequency for dual
channel function.
Step3 Install the Motherboard into the Case
You can easily install the motherboard into the case .Please screw the
motherboard firmly to prevent of short circuit.
Step4 Install Expansion Card
You can easily install the AGP or PCI expansion cards on the motherboard .Please
align the card's connectors and press firmly.
Step5 Connect all the signal cables, IDE cables, power cables and panel cables to the
connectors
Please refer to the connector’s instruction for more detail information
Jumper set
There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to
keep the system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system
configuration, use the CLR_ CMOS Jumper to clear data.
Clear CMOS PROCEDURE
You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin. Before you clearing the CMOS, following
next procedure:
1. Shut down your computer
2. Pull out the ATX power cable
3. Shorting 2-3 pin 3 seconds
4. Then shorting the 1-2 pin
5. Connect the ATX power connector again
NOTE: You need clear CMOS when
in next instance
1. When you forget your CMOS
password.
2. When over-clocking is failed.
