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.

4. 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

jumper-setting. You must adjust “FSB Select Jumpers” according to the

FSB of your AMD CPU before you set the “CPU Host Frequency” con-

figuration as “Manual” in BIOS. See page 9 for the details of “FSB Select

Jumpers” adjustment, and page 25 of “User Manual” in the Support CD for

“CPU Host Frequency” configuration.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

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 car-

pet 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.

CPU InstallationCPU Installation

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.

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.

Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

K7VT4A Pro motherboard provides 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. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. 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.

2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots)2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots)

2.3 Expansion Slots (PCI and AGP Slots)

There are 5 PCI slots and 1 AGP slot on K7VT4A Pro motherboard.

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. The ASRock AGP slot has

a special design of clasp that can securely fasten the inserted graphics

card.

Please do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!

It may cause permanent damage! For the voltage information of your

graphics card, please check with the graphics card vendors.

Installing an expansion cardInstalling an expansion card

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw

for later use.

Step 3. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 4. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

2.4 Jumpers Setup2.4 Jumpers Setup

2.4 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 the 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.

Note: If JR1 and JL1 Jumpers are short, both the front panel and the rear panel audio

connectors can work.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS2)

(see p.2 item 22)

Note: CLRCMOS2 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 the Clear CMOS jumper for 5 seconds. After shorting the Clear CMOS jumper,

please remove the jumper cap. 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.

J1 Jumper

(FID0, FID1, FID2, FID3, FID4)

(see p.2 item 29)

Note: The set of J1 Jumper allows users to adjust the multiplier of CPU. See page 14 of User

Manual in the Support CD for details. However, the system will work well without the

adjustment of multiplier. You do not have to adjust the multiplier for normal usage.

If you want to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your SATA HDDs, you will

need to make an SATA driver diskette before you start the OS installation.

STEP 1: Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your system.

(Do NOT insert any floppy diskette into the floppy drive at this moment!)

STEP 2: During POST at the beginning of system boot-up, press <F11> key, and

then a window for boot devices selection appears. Please select CD-

ROM as the boot device.

STEP 3: When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate

Serial ATA driver diskette [YN]?”, press <Y>.

STEP 4: Then you will see these messages,

Please insert a diskette into the floppy drive.

WARNING! Formatting the floppy diskette will

lose ALL data in it!

Start to format and copy files [YN]?

Please insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive, and press <Y>.

STEP 5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA drivers

into the floppy diskette.

Once you have the SATA driver diskette ready, you may start to install Windows 2000 /

Windows XP on your system directly without setting the RAID configuration on your

system, or you may start to use “VT8237 SATA RAID BIOS” to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD

configuration before you install the OS. Before you start to configure the RAID function,

you need to check the installation guide in the Support CD for proper 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

You may also set the RAID configuration by using “VIA RAID Tool” in Windows environment.

Please refer to the document in the Support CD, “Guide to VIA RAID Tool”, which is located

in the folder at the following path:

3. BIOS Information3. BIOS Information

3. BIOS Information

The Flash Memory on the motherboard stores BIOS Setup Utility. When you start up

the computer, please press <F2> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter

BIOS Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. If you wish to

enter BIOS Setup after POST, please restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> +

<Delete>, or pressing the reset button on the system chassis.

The BIOS Setup program is designed to be user-friendly. It is a menu-driven program,

which allows you to scroll through its various sub-menus and to select among the

predetermined choices. For the detailed information about BIOS Setup, please refer
