2. Installation

K7Upgrade-880 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 8.5-in, 30.5 cm x 21.6 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits 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.

3. 4. 5.

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. 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 antistatic 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.

2.1 CPU Installation

Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 angle. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner matches the base of the socket lever. 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.

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 1

Step 2, 3

Step 4

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 8, No. 2). For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and the heatsink.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
K7Upgrade-880 motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDR1 and DDR3; Blue slots; see p.8 No.7) or identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR2 and DDR4; Black slots; see p.8 No.11), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below. Dual Channel Memory Configurations DDR1 (Blue Slot) Populated Populated DDR2 (Black Slot) Populated Populated DDR3 (Blue Slot) Populated Populated DDR4 (Black Slot) Populated Populated

(1) (2) (3)

If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots
(DDR1 and DDR3), or in the set of black slots (DDR2 and DDR4). If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1 and DDR2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

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.

notch break

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.
2.4 Expansion Slots (K8 Bridge, PCI Slots, and AGP Slots)
There are 1 set of K8 Bridge, 3 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-880 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-880 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-880 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!
