2.6 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)

There are 2 PCI slots and 5 PCI Express slots on this motherboard.

PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

PCIE slots: PCIE1 (PCIE 2.0 x1 slot) is used for a PCI Express x1 lane width card,

such as a Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card or ASRock Game Blaster, etc.

PCIE3 (PCIE 2.0 x1 slot) is used for a PCI Express x1 lane width card,

such as a Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card, etc.

PCIE2 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width

graphics cards, or to install PCI Express graphics cards to support

TM

CrossFireX

or SLI

function.

PCIE4 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width graph-

ics cards, or to install PCI Express graphics cards to support CrossFi-

TM

TM

reX

or SLI

function.

PCIE5 (PCIE 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graph-

ics cards, or to install PCI Express graphics cards to support 3-Way

TM

CrossFireX

.

1. In single VGA card mode, it is recommended to install a PCI Express

x16 graphics card on PCIE2 slot.

TM

TM

2. In CrossFireX

mode or SLI

mode, please install the PCI Express

x16 graphics cards on PCIE2 and PCIE4 slots. Therefore, both these

two slots will work at x8 bandwidth.

TM

3. In 3-Way CrossFireX

mode, please install PCI Express x16

graphics cards on PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots. Therefore, PCIE2

and PCIE4 slots will work at x8 bandwidth while PCIE5 slot will work

at x4 bandwidth.

4. Please connect a chassis fan to the motherboard’s chassis fan

connector (CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2 or CHA_FAN3) when using

multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.

5. Only PCIE2 and PCIE4 slots support Gen 3 speed. 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

Express Gen 2 speed.

This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal VGA output sup-

port (HDMI and DisplayPort), you can easily enjoy the benets of dual monitor fea-

ture without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. This motherboard

also provides independent display controllers for HDMI and DisplayPort to support

dual VGA output so that HDMI and DisplayPort can drive same or different display

contents.

To enable dual monitor feature, please follow the below steps:

1. Connect HDMI monitor cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel, and connect

DisplayPort monitor cable to DisplayPort on the I/O panel.

This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output

support (HDMI and DisplayPort) and external add-on PCI Express VGA cards, you

can easily enjoy the benets of surround display feature.

Please refer to the following steps to set up a surround display environment:

1. Install the PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots. Please

refer to page 21 for proper expansion card installation procedures.

2. Connect HDMI monitor cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel, and connect

DisplayPort monitor cable to DisplayPort on the I/O panel. Then connect other

monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA

cards on PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots.

Memory” option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB],

[256MB] or [512MB] to enable the function of D-sub. Please make sure that the

value you select is less than the total capability of the system memory. If you do

not adjust the UEFI setup, the default value of “Share Memory”, [Auto], will

disable D-Sub function when an add-on VGA card is inserted to this motherboard.

4. Install the onboard VGA driver and the add-on PCI Express VGA card driver to

your system. If you have installed the drivers already, there is no need to install

them again.

HDCP Function

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP

function with this motherboard, you need to adopt a monitor

that supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy

the superior display quality with high-denition HDCP

encryption contents. Please refer to the instructions below for

more details about HDCP function.

What is HDCP?

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a

®

specication developed by Intel

for protecting digital

entertainment content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a

copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of

intercepting digital data midstream between the video source,

or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box -

and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television

or projector. In other words, HDCP specication is designed to

protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD

players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few

English

entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant

display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP

in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or

LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.

2.10 Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose

pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap

is placed on these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.4, No. 27)

Clear CMOSDefault

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,

please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need

to clear the CMOS when you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot

up the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS ac-

tion. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole, 1394

GUID and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

The Clear CMOS Switch has the same function as the Clear CMOS

jumper.
