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.

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.

1.

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

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 antistatic 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.

2.1

CPU Installation

Step 1.

Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90 o 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.

If you want to install Windows 2000 / Windows XP OS on your SATA

HDDs with RAID functions, please follow the below steps.

STEP 1: Make a SATA Driver Diskette.

A. Insert the ASRock Support CD into your optical drive to boot your

system.

B. 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.

C. When you see the message on the screen, “Do you want to generate

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

D. 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>.

E. The system will start to format the floppy diskette and copy SATA

drivers into the floppy diskette.

STEP 2: Use “SATA RAID BIOS” to set RAID configuration.

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

STEP 3: Install Windows 2000 / Windows XP OS on your system.

After making a SATA driver diskette and using “SATA RAID BIOS” to set

RAID configuration, you can start to install Windows 2000 / Windows XP on your system.

If you want to install Windows XP 64-bit OS on your SATA HDDs with RAID

functions, please follow the below steps.

STEP 1: Make a SATA Driver Diskette.

A. Insert the floppy diskette into your floppy drive.

B. Copy the SATA 64-bit drivers to your floppy diskette.

The SATA 64-bit drivers are located at the following path in the Support CD:

.. \ 64bit SATA Driver

STEP 2: Install Windows XP 64-bit OS on your system.

After making a SATA driver diskette, you can start to install Windows XP 64-

bit on your system.

After the installation of Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows XP 64-bit OS, if you want to manage RAID functions, you are allowed to use both “SATA RAID

BIOS” and “VIA RAID Tool” for RAID 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 and the document in the support CD, “Guide to VIA RAID Tool”, which is located in the folder at the following path: .. \ VIA RAID Tool

1. Windows 98 / Windows ME does not support RAID functions.

2. If you want to use “VIA RAID Tool” in Windows environment, please install

SATA drivers from the Support CD again so that “VIA RAID Tool” will be

installed to your system as well.

If you want to install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit on your SATA HDDs without RAID functions or you want to install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP

64-bit on your IDE HDDs instead of SATA HDDs, please follow the below steps.

If you want to install Windows 98 / Windows ME on your SATA HDDs without

RAID functions, you don’t have to set up BIOS. Please install Windows 98 /

Windows ME OS on your system directly.

STEP 1: Set Up BIOS.

A. Enter BIOS SETUP UTILITY ¡÷Advanced screen ¡÷IDE Configuration.

B. Set the “SATA Operation Mode” option from [RAID] to [non-RAID].

STEP 2: Install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit OS on your system.

After setting up BIOS, you can start to install Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / XP

64-bit on your system.

If you don’t want to set up RAID functions, there is no need to make a SATA driver diskette.

This section explains how to use the BIOS SETUP UTILITY to configure your system.

The Flash Memory on the motherboard stores the BIOS SETUP UTILITY. You may run the BIOS SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press <F2> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS SETUP UTILITY, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.

If you wish to enter the BIOS SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.
