2. Installation K8Upgarde-VM800 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.0-in x 9.6-in, 22.9 cm x 24.4 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.
2.1 CPU Installation Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. o Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 angle. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that the CPU corner with the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle. 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.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard is equipped with two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots. 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 notch break The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation.
2.4 Expansion Slots (Future CPU Port, PCI Slots, AGP Slot, and AMR Slots) There are 1 Future CPU Port, 2 PCI slots, 1 AGP slot and 1 AMR slot on K8UpgradeVM800 motherboard. Future CPU Port (Yellow-Colored Port): Future CPU Port allows you to upgrade your AMD 754-Pin CPU to AMD 939-Pin CPU by installing an add-on ASRock 939CPU Board into this future CPU Port on K8UpgradeVM800 motherboard.
NOTE When adjusting the jumper settings, you may use the tool, Jumper Cap Remover, to help you removing the jumper caps more easily. This Jumper Cap Remover is bundled in your motherboard package, and please follow the “Jumper Cap Remover Instruction” to use it properly. PCI Slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. AGP slot: The AGP slot is used to install a graphics card.
2.5 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 Setting Short pin2, pin3 to enable +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 or +5V +5VSB USB wake up events. Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by power supply.
2.6 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! • Floppy Connector (33-pin FLOPPY1) Pin1 (see p.8 No. 12) FLOPPY1 the red-striped side to Pin1 Note: Make sure the red-striped side of the cable is plugged into Pin1 side of the connector.
