2. Installation

939Dual-SATA2 is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 9.6-in, 30.5 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. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

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.

Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-

static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

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.

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a

larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray

thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat

dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fas-

tened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to

the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 8, No. 3). For proper

installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan

and the heatsink.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

939Dual-SATA2 motherboard provides four 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate)

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 (DDR1 and

DDR2; Blue slots; see p.8 No.7) or identical DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B

(DDR3 and DDR4; Black slots; see p.8 No.8), so that Dual Channel Memory

Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four

DDR DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDR

DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration

Table below.

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDR DIMMs in all four slots.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of blue slots

(DDR1 and DDR2), or in the set of black slots (DDR3 and DDR4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDR DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDR1

and DDR3, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Tech-

nology .

1 2

Installing a DIMM

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.

notch

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.

1. If you plan to use RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD functions on SATA, SATA

HDDs must be operated in “RAID” mode.

2. “RAID” and “non-RAID” mode are options under “SATA Operation Mode” in

BIOS setup. Please refer to page 30 for details. They need different drivers

during actual operation.

2.9 Making a SATA Driver Diskette For SATA Operation in

“RAID” Mode

If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your

SATA HDDs, you will need to make a SATA driver diskette before you start the OS

installation.

STEP1: 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!)

STEP2: 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.

STEP3: When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate

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

STEP4: 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>.

STEP5: The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA drivers

into the floppy diskette.

2 0

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

/ Windows XP / Windows XP 64-bit on your system directly without setting the RAID

configuration on your system, or you may start to use “RAID Installation Guide” 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 find the document, “Guide to SATA Hard Disks Installa-

tion and RAID Configuration”, at the following path in the Support CD:

.. \ Information \ Manual \ RAID Installation Guide \ English.pdf

2.10 SATA Operating in “non-RAID” Mode

If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your

SATA HDDs operating in non-RAID mode, you don’t need to make a SATA driver

diskette before OS installation.

2.11 SATAII Operating in “IDE” Mode

If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your

SATAII HDDs operating in IDE mode, you don’t need to make a SATAII driver diskette

before OS installation.

2.12 Making a SATAII Driver Diskette For SATAII Operation

in “SATA” Mode

If you want to install Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit OS on your

SATAII HDDs, you will need to make a SATAII driver diskette before you start the OS

installation. You need to copy the SATAII driver package to a diskette and use it while

OS queries for other boot device driver diskette. (Please see the “Readme.txt” in

SATAII driver directory on the support CD for the files needed to copy to the diskette.)
