1.  Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be 

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows

®

 7 / 

Vista

TM

 / XP. For Windows

®

 OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limita-

tion. 

2.  The maximum shared memory size is de

fi

 ned by the chipset vendor and 

is subject to change. Please check AMD website for the latest informa-

tion.

3.  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.

clicks without preparing an additional 

fl

 oppy diskette or other complicated 

fl

 ash utility. Please be noted that the USB 

fl

 ash drive or hard drive must

fi

 le system.

6.  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, 

please make sure your OS version is Windows

 64 bit, and your browser version is IE8.

7.  ASRock XFast USB can boost USB storage device performance. The 

performance may depend on the properties of the device.

8.  ASRock XFast LAN provides a faster internet access, which includes 

the bene

fi

 ts listed below. LAN Application Prioritization: You can con

fi

 g-

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. Traf

fi

 c 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.

9.  ASRock XFast RAM fully utilizes the memory space that cannot be used 

under Windows

®

 OS 32-bit CPU. ASRock XFast RAM shortens the load-

ing time of previously visited websites, making web sur

fi

 ng 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 frequen-

cy of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifespan.

10.  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 

fi

 nish the BIOS update procedure after 

regaining power. Please note that BIOS 

fi

 les need to be placed in the 

root directory of your USB disk. Only USB2.0 ports support this feature.

11.  Administrators are able to establish an internet curfew or restrict internet 

access at speci

fi

 ed 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.

12.  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 

fl

 ash them without entering Windows

®

 OS. 

Please note that you must be running on a DHCP con

fi

 gured computer in 

order to enable this function.

13.  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.

14.  ASRock XFast RAM is not supported by Microsoft

® 

Windows

®

 XP / XP 

64-bit. 

15.  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 ef

fi

 ciency 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.
