CAUTION!
1. For power-saving’s sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD’s Cool ‘n’
Quiet
TM
technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 41 of
“User Manual” in the Support CD to enable AMD’s Cool ‘n’ Quiet
TM
technology.
Since not all K8 754-pin CPU can support AMD’s Cool ‘n’ Quiet
TM
technology,
please check AMD’s website for details.
2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un-
tied Overclocking Technology” on page 19 for details.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII
Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 16 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to
SATAII mode. Besides, you are allowed to downgrade the SATAII hard disk to
SATA hard disk (from SATAII 3Gb/s down to SATA 1.5Gb/s), and connect it to
the SATAII connector. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connec-
tor directly.

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.

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 the CPU corner with
the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.
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)
K8NF4G-VSTA 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.

2.4 Easy Multi Monitor Feature
This motherboard supports Multi Monitor upgrade. With the internal onboard VGA
and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits
of Multi Monitor feature. If you plan to enable the function of onboard VGA, please
enter the option “Share Memory” of BIOS to adjust the memory capability to
[16MB], [32MB], [64MB], or [128MB]. Please note that the value you select should
be less than the total capability of the system memory. The default value of “Share
Memory” is [Auto], which will disable onboard VGA function when installing VGA
card. After setting up BIOS, you can install VGA cards and VGA card drivers to
enjoy multi-monitors.

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 pin2 and pin3
on CLRCMOS2 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.

HDMR Card Driver Installation
When you install the drivers to your system, please make sure to install Realtek
Audio driver before installing HDMR card driver; for other drivers installation,
please follow the driver order in our support CD. It is suggested to install Win-
dows
®
OS, Realtek Audio and HDMR drivers with the HDMR card inserted to this
motherboard; in this way, there is no problem on the Audio CODEC function.
However, if you install Windows
®
XP 64-bit OS without HDMR card inserted and
plan to insert the HDMR card to this motherboard, please install the Realtek Audio
driver again; otherwise, the Audio CODEC will not work. If you install Windows
®
2000 / XP OS without HDMR card inserted and plan to insert the HDMR card to this
motherboard, you just have to restart your computer, then the Audio CODEC can
work successfully.

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you
enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter “Overclock Mode” option of BIOS
setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, PCIE, Async.]. Therefore, CPU FSB is
untied during overclocking, but PCI and PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB
can operate under a more stable overclocking environment.
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
