Chapter 1
Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing this motherboard. This motherboard is a high performance,
enhanced function motherboard that supports socket for AMD PhenomTM II proces-
sor (socket AM3) for high-end business or personal desktop markets.
There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 mouse and
keyboard connectors, COM, four USB ports, one LAN port and audio jacks for
microphone, line-in and line-out.
The motherboard incorporates the AMD RX780 Northbridge (NB) and SB710
Southbridge (SB) chipsets. The Northbridge supports the HyperTransportTM 3.0 in-
terface. The memory controller supports DDR3 memory DIMM frequencies of
1333/1066*1. It supports four DDR3 slots with maximum memory size of 32 GB*2.
One PCI Express x16 slot, intended for Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the
PCI Express Gen2 (version 1.0). In addition, two PCI Express x1 slots are supported.
2. Due to the DRAM maximum size (2 GB per dimm) at present, the
memory maximum size we have tested is 8 GB.
1. Due to the limitation of AMD CPU spec, please refer to Memory QVL
for more information.
*
The SB710 Southbridge supports three PCI slots which are PCI v2.3 compliant. It
integrates USB 2.0 interface, supporting up to eight functional ports (four USB ports
and two USB 2.0 headers support additional four USB ports). One onboard IDE
connector supports two IDE devices in Ultra ATA 133/100/66/33 modes. The
Southbridge integrates a Serial ATA host controller, supporting four SATA ports with
maximum transfer rate up to 3.0 Gb/s each. It provides AMD SATA RAID configura-
tion with RAID 0, 1 and 10 modes supported.

Introducing the Motherboard
Feature
Processor
HyperTransportTM Technology is a point-to-point link between two devices, it
enables integrated circuits to exchange information at much higher speeds than
currently available interconnect technologies.
• Accommodates AMD PhenomTM II processor (socket AM3)
• Supports HyperTransportTM (HT) 3.0 interface speeds
This motherboard uses a socket AM3 that carries the following features:
SB710 (SB)
AMD RX780
(NB)
• One x4 A-Link Express II interface (PCI Express 1.0a
compliant) for connection to an AMD Southbridge
• Supports a single x16 PCI-Express Gen2 graphics link
• Fully supports ACPI states S1, S3, S4 and S5
• Single chip solution in 65nm, 1.1 V CMOS technology

ture
• Accommodates four unbuffered DIMMs
• Up to 8 GB per DIMM with maximum memory size up to 32 GB*2
2. Due to the DRAM maximum size (2 GB per dimm) at present, the
memory maximum size we have tested is 8 GB.
1. Due to the limitation of AMD CPU spec, please refer to Memory QVL
for more information.
*
• Compliant with PCI 2.3 specification at 33 MHz
• Supports four Serial ATA devices which speeds up to
3.0 Gb/s
• Integrated USB 2.0 Host Controller supporting up to
eight USB 2.0 ports
• Integrated IDE controller supports Ultra ATA 133/100/
66/33 modes
• Supports integrated RAID0, RAID1, and RAID 10 (re-
quires use of 4 or more SATA ports) functionalities
across all 4ports

• Supports PCI ExpressTM 1.1
• Integrated 10/100/1000 transceiver
• Wake-on-LAN and remote wake-up support
Integrated I/O
The motherboard has a full set of I/O ports and connectors:
• Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard
• One serial port
• Four USB ports
• One LAN port
• Audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out
BIOS Firmware
• Power management
• Wake-up alarms
• CPUparameters
• CPUandmemorytiming
The firmware can also be used to set parameters for different processor clock
speeds.
The motherboard uses AMI BIOS that enables users to configure many system
features including the following:
Audio
• 5.1 Channel High DefinitionAudio Codec
• ADCs support 44.1k/48k/96kHz sample rate
• Meets Microsoft WLP 3.10 Vista premium and mobile PCs audio
requirements
• Direct Sound 3DTM compatible
1. Some hardware specifications and software items are subject to change
without prior notice.
2. Due to chipset limitation, we recommend that motherboard be operated in
the ambiance between 0 and 50°C.
