1.7 System memory

1.7.1 Overview

This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules

(DIMM) sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but

is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are

developed for better performance with less power consumption. The gure illustrates the

location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:

Channel Sockets

Channel A DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2

Channel B DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2

Chapter 1: Product introduction1-12

1.7.2 Memory congurations

You may install 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the

DIMM sockets.

• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps

the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel conguration. Any excess

memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.

• We recommend that you install the memory modules from the blue slots for better

overclocking capability.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we

recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

• When overclocking, some AMD CPU models may not support DDR3 1866 MHz or

higher frequency DIMMs.

• Due to the memory address limitation on 32-bit Windows

® OS, when you install 4GB

or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be

about 3GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do any of the

following:

- Install a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows®

OS.

- Use a 64-bit Windows® OS if you want to install 4GB or more memory on the

motherboard.

• This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.

• The maximum 64GB memory capacity can be supported with 16GB or above DIMMs.

ASUS will update the memory QVL once the DIMMs are available in the market.

• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect

(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.

Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a

lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. To operate at the vendor-marked or at a

higher frequency, refer to section 2.4 Ai Tweaker menu for manual memory frequency

adjustment.

• For system stability, use a more efcient memory cooling system to support a full

memory load (4 DIMMs) or overclocking condition.

Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com for the latest QVL.

1.8 Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe

the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may

cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

1.8.1 Installing an expansion card

To install an expansion card:

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and

make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later

use.

4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is completely

seated on the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6. Replace the system cover.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that

the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conicts will arise between the two PCI

groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.

1.8.3 PCI slot

The PCI slot supports cards such as a LAN card, SCSI card, USB card, and other cards that

comply with PCI specications.

1.8.2 Conguring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, congure it by adjusting the software settings.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 2 for

information on BIOS setup.

2. Assign an IRQ to the card.

3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

1.8.4 PCI Express p27-x1 slot

This motherboard supports PCI Express p27-x1 network cards, SCSI cards, and other cards that

comply with the PCI Express specications.

This motherboard supports two PCI Express x16 graphics cards that comply with the PCI

Express specications.

ASUS F1A75-M PRO 1-15

1.9 Jumpers

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can

clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing

the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in

CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default

position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3

for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

4. Hold down the

<Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to reenter

data.

• If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the jumper again

to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery.

• You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For

system failure due to overclocking, use the CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R) feature. Shut

down and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings to

default values.

• In single VGA card mode, use the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot (blue) for a PCI Express x16

graphics card to get better performance.

• We recommend that you provide sufcient power when running CrossFireX™ mode.

See page 1-20 for details.

• Connect a chassis fan to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1/2 when using

multiple graphics cards for better thermal environment.

and reinstall the DIMM before using the MemOK! function.

• The MemOK! switch does not function under Windows® OS environment.

• During the tuning process, the system loads and tests failsafe memory settings. It takes

about 30 seconds for the system to test one set of failsafe settings. If the test fails,

the system reboots and test the next set of failsafe settings. The blinking speed of the

DRAM_LED increases, indicating different test processes.

• Due to memory tuning requirement, the system automatically reboots when each timing

set is tested. If the installed DIMMs still fail to boot after the whole tuning process, the

DRAM_LED lights continuously. Replace the DIMMs with ones recommended in the

Memory QVL (Qualied Vendors Lists) in this user manual or on the ASUS website at

www.asus.com.

• If you turn off the computer and replace DIMMs during the tuning process, the system

continues memory tuning after turning on the computer. To stop memory tuning, turn off

the computer and unplug the power cord for about 5–10 seconds.

• If your system fail to boot due to BIOS overclocking, press the MemOK! switch to boot

and load BIOS default settings. A message will appear during POST reminding you that

the BIOS has been restored to its default settings.
