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
third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system’s 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. Due to chipset limitations, overclocking is not supported.
2. About the settings of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page
43 of the “User Manual” in the support CD.

3. Intel
Small Business Advantage is a customizable platform integrated
with IT tools, which helps maximize employee productivity, PC perfor-
mance, and data security. There are applications including Software
Monitor, PC Health Center, Data Backup & Restore, Energy Saver and
USB Blocker.
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 17 for proper installation.
5. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be
®
less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows
7 /
TM
®
Vista
/ XP. For Windows
OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limita-
tion. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that Win-
®
dows
cannot use.
6. To run the PCI Express in Gen 3 speed, please install an Ivy Bridge CPU.
If you install a Sandy Bridge CPU, the PCI Express will run only at PCI
English
Express Gen 2 speed.

7. The maximum shared memory size is dened by the chipset vendor and
®
is subject to change. Please check Intel
website for the latest informa-
tion.
8. You can choose to use two of the three monitors only. D-Sub, DVI-D and
HDMI monitors cannot be enabled at the same time. Besides, with the
DVI-to-HDMI adapter, the DVI-D port can support the same features as
HDMI port.

10. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-chan-
nel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3
for proper connection.
11. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to ne-tune dif-
ferent system functions in a user-friendly interface, which includes Hard-
ware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES. In Hardware
Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it
shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking,
you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system per-
formance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a prole and
share it with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC prole to
their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy
Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to
improve efciency when the CPU cores are idle without sacricing
computing performance. Please visit our website for the operation proce-
dures of ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).
ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com
12. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM.
This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS
®
without entering operating systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows
. With
this utility, you can press the <F6> key during the POST or the <F2>
key to enter into the BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash.
Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS le to your USB ash drive,
oppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few
clicks without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated
ash utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must
English
use FAT32/16/12 le system.
13. If you desire a faster, less restricted way of charging your Apple devices,
such as iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, ASRock has prepared a wonderful so-
lution for you - ASRock APP Charger. Simply install the APP Charger
driver, it makes your iPhone charge much quickly from your computer
and up to 40% faster than before. ASRock APP Charger allows you to
quickly charge many Apple devices simultaneously and even supports
continuous charging when your PC enters into Standby mode (S1), Sus-
10

pend to RAM (S3), hibernation mode (S4) or power off (S5). With APP
Charger driver installed, you can easily enjoy the marvelous charging
experience.

14. ASRock SmartView, a new function for internet browsers, is the smart
start page for IE that combines your most visited web sites, your history,
your Facebook friends and your real-time newsfeed into an enhanced
view for a more personal Internet experience. ASRock motherboards are
exclusively equipped with the ASRock SmartView utility that helps you
keep in touch with friends on-the-go. To use ASRock SmartView feature,
®

15. ASRock XFast USB can boost USB storage device performance. The
performance may depend on the properties of the device.
16. ASRock XFast LAN provides a faster internet access, which includes
the benets listed below. LAN Application Prioritization: You can cong-
ure your application’s priority ideally and/or add new programs. Lower
Latency in Game: After setting online game’s priority higher, it can lower
the latency in games. Trafc Shaping: You can watch Youtube HD videos
and download simultaneously. Real-Time Analysis of Your Data: With
the status window, you can easily recognize which data streams you are
transferring currently.
17. ASRock XFast RAM is a new function that is included into ASRock Ex-
treme Tuning Utility (AXTU). It fully utilizes the memory space that cannot
®
be used under Windows
OS 32-bit CPU. ASRock XFast RAM shortens
the loading time of previously visited websites, making web surng faster
than ever. And it also boosts the speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times
faster. Another advantage of ASRock XFast RAM is that it reduces the
frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifes-
pan.
18. ASRock Crashless BIOS allows users to update their BIOS without fear
of failing. If power loss occurs during the BIOS update process, ASRock
Crashless BIOS will automatically nish the BIOS update procedure after
regaining power. Please note that BIOS les need to be placed in the
root directory of your USB disk. Only USB2.0 ports support this feature.
19. Administrators are able to establish an internet curfew or restrict internet
access at specied times via OMG. You may choose from [Everyday], [Day
of the week] or [Weekdays and weekends], then schedule the starting
and ending hours of internet access granted to other users. In order to
prevent users from bypassing OMG, guest accounts without permission
to modify the system time are required.

20. ASRock Internet Flash searches for available UEFI firmware updates
from our servers. In other words, the system can auto-detect the latest
®
UEFI from our servers and ash them without entering Windows
OS.
Please note that you must be running on a DHCP congured computer in
order to enable this function.
21. ASRock On/Off Play Technology allows users to enjoy the great audio
experience from the portable audio devices, such like MP3 player or
mobile phone to your PC, even when the PC is turned off (or in ACPI S5
mode)! This motherboard also provides a free 3.5mm audio cable (op-
tional) that ensures users the most convenient computing environment.
22. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.
Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the moth-
erboard 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.

24. EuP stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by the
European Union to define the power consumption for the completed
system. According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system
should be under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standards,
an EuP ready motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required.
According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet
the standard of 5v, and the standby power efciency should be higher
than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power sup-
ply selection, we recommend you to check with the power supply manu-
facturer for more details.
