ASRock ConRoe865PE Motherboard
CAUTION!
1. To support FSB1066 CPU, please use DDR400 DIMMs (Double Data Rate
400 MHz). Before installing FSB1066 CPU, please make sure that you
have adjusted the jumpers correctly. The default setting of FSB1 is to
short pin1 and pin2. However, if you want this motherboard to support
FSB1066 CPU, please adjust your FSB1 jumper setting, and short pin2
and pin3 (see page 14).
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 26
of “User Manual” in the support CD.
3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 18 for details.
4. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 11 for proper installation.
5. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.
CPU FSB Frequency
Memory Support Frequency
800
533
1066
DDR266, DDR333*, DDR400
DDR266, DDR333
DDR400*
* When you use a FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module. Besides, if you
use a FSB1066-CPU on this motherboard, please adopt a DDR400
CL2.5 memory module.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
9. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,
6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for
proper connection.
10. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP
64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under
Microsoft® Windows® 98 / ME.

Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-
board 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.
2. 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.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
5. 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.
