To support FSB1066 CPU, please use DDR400 DIMMs (Double Data Rate 400 MHz). Before installing FSB1066 CPU, please make sure that you have adjusted the jumpers correctly. The default setting of FSB1 is to short pin1 and pin2. However, if you want this motherboard to support FSB1066 CPU, please adjust your FSB1 jumper setting, and short pin2 and pin3 (see page 14). 2. About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 26 of "User Manual" in the support CD. 3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 18 for details. 4. 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. 5. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its corresponding CPU FSB frequency. CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency 800 DDR266, DDR333*, DDR400 533 DDR266, DDR333 1066 DDR400* * When you use a FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module. Besides, if you use a FSB1066-CPU on this motherboard, please adopt a DDR400 CL2.5 memory module. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! 9. 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. 10.

Installation 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. 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 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 antstatic 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. 2.1 CPU Installation For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU, please follow the steps below. 775-Pin Socket Overview Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged. English 8 ASRock ConRoe865PE Motherboard Step 1. Open the socket: Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing down and out on the hook to clear retention tab. Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open position at approximately 135 degrees. Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open position at approximately 100 degrees. Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU: Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are marked with black lines. black line black line Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two orientation key notches. Pin1 orientation key notch orientation key notch Pin1 alignment key alignment key 775-Pin Socket 775-LAND CPU For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket. Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap): Use your left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in removal. 9 ASRock ConRoe865PE Motherboard English Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket by using a purely vertical motion. Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket and properly mated to the orient keys. 1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking off the PnP cap. 2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after service. Step 4. Close the socket: Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS. Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load plate, engage the load lever. Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab under retention tab of load lever. 2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink. Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU. Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center of IHS on the socket surface. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Place the heatsink onto t ...
