ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the

power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the

power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static elec-

tricity, 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 anti-

static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the mother-

board to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing

so may damage the motherboard.

Teaming Function Operation Guide

Dual LAN with Teaming function enabled on this motherboard allows two single

connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth,

making data transmission more effective and improving the quality of transmission

of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual LAN network prevents network

downtime by transferring the workload from a failed port to a working port.

The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment

or status even with Teaming enabled.

Before setting up Teaming function, please make sure if your Switch (or Router)

could support Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation) function. Then, please

refer to following steps to set up Teaming function.

1. Install Teaming driver from the following path of motherboard Support CD:

32-bit:

.. \Drivers\LAN\Broadcom\Win7-64_Win7_Vista64_Vista_XP64_

XP(v14.8.4.1)\BACS\IA32

64-bit:

.. \Drivers\LAN\Broadcom\Win7-64_Win7_Vista64_Vista_XP64_

XP(v14.8.4.1)\BACS\x64

(This is a special driver for Teaming function only. If you don't want to use

Teaming, please install the LAN driver provided by our support CD link.)

2. From the

Teams

menu, select

Create Team

, or right-click one of the devices in

the “Unassigned Adapters” section and select

Create a Team

. This option is not

available if there are no devices listed in the “Unassigned Adapters” sections,

which means all adapters are already assigned to teams.

3. Click

Expert Mode

* If you want to always use Expert Mode to create a team, click Default to Expert

Mode on next start.

Fatal1ty 990FX Professional Series Motherboard

English

4. Click the

Create Team

tab.

* The

Create Team

tab appears only if there are teamable adapters available.

5. Click the

Team Name

fi eld to enter a team name.

6. Click the

Team Type

fi eld to select a team type.

7. Assign any available adapter or adapters to the team by selecting the adapter

from the

Load Balance Members

list. There must be at least one adapter

selected in the

Load Balance Members

list.

8. You can assign any other available adapter to be a standby member by selecting

it from the

Standby Member

list.

* There must be at least one Broadcom network adapter assigned to the team.

The Large Send Offl oad (LSO), Checksum Offl oad (CO), and RSS indicate if

the LSO, CO, and/or RSS properties are supported for the team. The LSO, CO,

and RSS properties are enabled for a team only when all of the members

support and are confi gured for the feature.

* Adding a network adapter to a team where its driver is disabled may negatively

affect the offl oading capabilities of the team. This may have an impact on the

team’s performance. Therefore, it is recommended that only driver-enabled

network adapters be added as members to a team.

will be temporarily interrupted.

* The team name cannot exceed 39 characters, cannot begin with spaces, and

cannot contain any of the following characters: & \ / : * ? < > |

* Team names must be unique. If you attempt to use a team name more than

once, an error message is displayed indicating that the name already exists.

* The maximum number of team members is 8.

* When team confi guration has been correctly performed, a virtual team adapter

driver is created for each confi gured team.

* If you disable a virtual team and later want to reenable it, you must fi rst disable

and reenable all team members before you reenable the virtual team.

* When you create Generic Trunking and Link Aggregation teams, you cannot

designate a standby member. Standby members work only with Smart Load

Balancing and Failover and SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) types of teams.

* For an SLB (Auto-Fallback Disable) team, to restore traffi c to the load

balance members from the standby member, click the Fallback button on the

Team Properties tab.

* When confi guring an SLB team, although connecting team members to a hub

is supported for testing, it is recommended to connect team members to a

switch.

* Not all network adapters made by others are supported or fully certifi ed for

teaming.
