Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket by using a purely vertical motion. Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket and properly mated to the orient keys. Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap): Use your left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in removal.
1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking off the PnP cap. 2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after service.
Step 4. Close the socket: Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS. Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load plate, engage the load lever. Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab under retention tab of load lever.
Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Ensure 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 12, No. 5).
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink.
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU. Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2.

Step 3. Step 4.
Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure fan cables are oriented on side closest to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard (CPU_FAN1, see page 12, No. 5). Align fasteners with the motherboard throughholes. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press down on fastener caps with thumb to install and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise, the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Step 6.

Connect fan header with the CPU fan connector on the motherboard. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure cable does not interfere with fan operation or contact other components.
2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
775Dual-880Pro motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots and two 240-pin DDRII 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 (DDRII1 and DDRII2; Yellow slots; see p.12 No.6) or identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR1 and DDR2; Blue slots; see p.12 No.7), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below. Dual Channel Memory Configurations DDRII1 DDR1 (Yellow Slot) (Blue Slot) Populated Populated DDRII2 DDR2 (Yellow Slot) (Blue Slot) Populated Populated

Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6.
2.7 Surround Display Feature
Thanks to ASRock patented PCI Express Graphics Technology, this motherboard supports Surround Display upgrade. With the external add-on AGP VGA card and PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits of Surround Display feature. For the detailed instruction, please refer to the document at the following path in the Support CD:.\ Surround Display

2.8 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 PS2_USB_PWR1

(see p.12, No. 1)

Setting
Short pin2, pin3 to enable +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 +5VSB +5V or USB wake up events. Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by power supply.
JR1(see p.12, No. 24) JL1(see p.12, No. 24)
Note: If the jumpers JL1 and JR1 are short, both the front panel and the rear panel audio connectors can work. Clear CMOS
(CLRCMOS1, 2-pin jumper) (see p.12, No. 18)

2-pin jumper

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup parameters. 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 2 pins 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 finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.
2.9 Onboard Headers and Connectors
Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the motherboard!

The SATA 64-bit drivers are located at the following path in the Support CD:. \ 64bit SATA Driver STEP 2: Install Windows XP 64-bit OS on your system. After making a SATA driver diskette, you can start to install Windows XP 64bit on your system. After the installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows XP 64-bit OS, if you want to manage RAID functions, you are allowed to use both SATA RAID BIOS and VIA RAID Tool for RAID configuration. Please refer to the document in the Support CD, Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installation and RAID Configuration, which is located in the folder at the following path:. \ SATA RAID BIOS and the document in the support CD, Guide to VIA RAID Tool, which is located in the folder at the following path:. \ VIA RAID Tool
1. Windows 98 / Windows ME does not support RAID functions. 2. If you want to use VIA RAID Tool in Windows environment, please install SATA drivers from the Support CD again so that VIA RAID Tool will be installed to your system as well.
2.13 Installing Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit Without RAID Functions
If you want to install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit on your SATA HDDs without RAID functions or you want to install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit on your IDE HDDs instead of SATA HDDs, please follow the below steps.
If you want to install Windows 98 / Windows ME on your SATA HDDs without RAID functions, you dont have to set up BIOS. Please install Windows 98 / Windows ME OS on your system directly.
STEP 1: Set Up BIOS. (Only for Windows 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit) A. Enter BIOS SETUP UTILITY Advanced screen IDE Configuration. B. Set the SATA Operation Mode option from [RAID] to [non-RAID]. STEP 2: Install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit OS on your system. After setting up BIOS, you can start to install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit on your system.
If you dont want to set up RAID functions, there is no need to make a SATA driver diskette.

You may run the BIOS SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press <F2> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS SETUP UTILITY, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines. If you wish to enter the BIOS SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.

Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference purpose only, and they may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
