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)

DDR DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install

identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.9

No. 5) or identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 and DDR4; Black slots;

see p.9 No. 6), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This

motherboard also allows you to install four DDR DIMMs for dual channel configuration,

and please install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual

STEP1: Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.

STEP2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk.

STEP3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s primary

SATA connector (SATA1).

STEP4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the primary SATA hard

disk. If you just want to install only one SATA HDD, the installation

process is complete at this step. If you want to install two SATA HDDs,

please continue to do the following steps.

STEP5: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA hard disk.

STEP6: Connect one end of the second SATA data cable to the motherboard’s

secondary SATA connector (SATA2).

STEP7: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the secondary SATA hard

disk.

Before you install OS into the SATA hard disk, you need to check and

ensure the configuration of the OnBoard IDE Operate Mode option in

BIOS setup is correct according to the condition of your system. For

the configuration details, please refer to the instruction on page 29.

2.10 Driver Installation Guide

To install the drivers to your system, please insert the support CD to your optical

drive first. Then, the drivers compatible to your system can be auto-detected and

listed on the support CD driver page. Please follow the order from up to bottom

side to install those required drivers. Therefore, the drivers you install can work

properly.

2.11 Untied Overclocking Technology

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during

overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed AGP / PCI bus. You may set

“CPU Host Frequency” option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you the

actual CPU host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied

during overclocking, but AGP / PCI bus is in the fixed mode so that FSB can

operate under a more stable overclocking environment.
