While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard 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. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1/2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. The CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the jumper-setting. You must set the FSB jumper according to your AMD CPU before you use the "Manual" option as the FSB setting in BIOS setup to perform over clocking. Please check page 26 of the User Manual in the Support CD for details. 2. 3. 4. English English English English English 6 ASRock K7Upgrade-600 Motherboard 2. Installation Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, 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. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2.1 CPU Installation STEP 1: Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 angle. STEP 2: Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. STEP 3: Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins. o ASRock K7Upgrade-600 Motherboard 7 English STEP 4: When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked. STEP 5: Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors. 2.2 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) K7Upgrade-600 motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots. Installing a DIMM Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components. STEP 1: STEP 2: Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. STEP 3: Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. English English English English English 8 ASRock K7Upgrade-600 Motherboard 2.3 Expansion Slots (K8 Bridge, PCI Slots, and AGP Slots) There are 1 set of K8 Bridge, 4 PCI slots, and 2 AGP slots (the slot 1.5V_AGP1 supports for K7 AGP Interface, and the slot AGP2 supports for K8 AGP Interface) on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. K8 Bridge (Orange-Colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) + Brown-Colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2)): The set of K8 Bridge allows you to upgrade your AMD 462-Pin CPU to AMD 754-Pin CPU by installing an add-on ASRock 754Bridge (optional) into this K8 Bridge on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. Before you upgrade the AMD 462-Pin CPU to the AMD 754-Pin CPU, it is necessary to adjust the jumper settings for those required jumpers on K7Upgrade-600 motherboard. Please refer to the table below for the correct jumper settings. The orange-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) is not an AGP slot, and the brown-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2) is not an AMR slot! Please do NOT insert any AGP card into the orange-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_1) and AMR card into the brown-colored Bridge (K8BRIDGE_2)! It may cause permanent damage to the hardware!
