2-20 Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 Switch Hardware Overclock Base clock Swtch: CPU_CLK1 You can overclock the Base clock to ncrease the processor frequency by changng ths swtch. Follow the nstructons below to set the base clock. 133 MHz (default)166 MHz200 MHz mportant Make sure that you power off the system before changng the swtch.HW overclockng may cause nstablty or crash durng boot, then please re-set the swtch to default. You can also overclock by settng BIOS. BIOS overclockng may also cause crash durng boot and then please reboot the system 3 tmes to restore default BIOS set - tngs. For more detals, please refer to the BIOS chapter. • • •
Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 2-21 Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 buttonS The motherboard provdes the followng button for you to set the computer’s functon. Ths secton wll explan how to change your motherboard’s functon through the use of button. Clear CMOS Button: CLR_CMOS1 There s a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the system configuraton data. Wth the CMOS RAM, the system can automat- cally boot OS every tme t s turned on. If you want to clear the system configuraton, use the button to clear data. Press the button to clear the data. Important Make sure that you power off the system before clearng CMOS data. Power Button: POWER1 Ths power button s used to turn-on or turn-off the system. Press the button to turn-on or turn-off the system. Ths button wll lght after you power-on the system, and the lght wll turn-off when you power-off the system. Reset Button: RESET1 Ths reset button s used to reset the system. Press the button to reset the system. Ths button wll lght when the system s n S0 status.
2-22 Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 SLotS PCI (Perpheral Component Interconnect) Express Slot The PCI Express slot supports the PCI Express nterface expanson card. PCI Express x16 Slot PCI Express x1 Slot ATI CrossFreXTM (Mult-GPU) Technology ATI CrossFreXTM s the ultmate mult-GPU performance gamng platform. Enablng game-domnatng power, ATI CrossFreXTM technology enables two or more dscrete graphcs processors to work together to mprove system performance. ATI CrossF-reXTM technology allows you to expand your system’s graphcs capabltes. It allows you the ablty to scale your system’s graphcs horsepower as you need t, supportng two or more ATI RadeonTM HD graphcs cards, makng ths the most scalable gamng platform ever. The motherboard can auto detect the CrossFreXTM mode by software, therefore you don’t have to enable the CrossFreXTM n BIOS by yourself. The followng detals the 2-way CrossFreXTM nstallaton. Install one ATI RadeonTM HD graphcs card n the first PCIE x16 (PCI_E1) slot , then nstall one ATI RadeonTM HD graphcs card n the thrd PCIE x16 (PCI_E4) slot. Wth two cards nstalled, an CrossFreXTM Vdeo Lnk cable s requred to connect the golden fingers on the top of these two graphcs cards (refer to the pcture be - low). Please note that although you have nstalled two or more graphcs cards, only the vdeo outputs on the graphcs card nstalled n PCI_E1 wll work. Hence, you only need to connect a montor to ths graphcs card. 1. 2. CrossFreXTM Vdeo Lnk cable
Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 2-23 Hardware Setup▍MS-7522 Important Motherboard photos shown n ths secton are for demonstraton only. The appear- ance of your motherboard may vary dependng on the model you purchase. If you ntend to nstall TWO graphcs cards for CrossFreX TM mode, make sure that: a. these two graphcs cards are of the same brand and specficatons; b. these two cards are nstalled on both mazarne PCIE x16 slots. Make sure that you connect an adequate power supply to the power connector on the graphcs card to ensure stable operaton of the graphcs card. Only Wndows ®XP wth Servce Pack 2 (SP2)& Wndows®XP Professonal x64 Ed- ton & Wndows®Vsta support the CrossFreXTM functon. • • • • When all of the hardware and software has been properly set up and nstalled, re - boot the system. After enterng the O.S., clck the “CatalystTM Control Center” con on the desktop. There s a settng n the CatalystTM Control Center that needs to be enabled for CrossFreXTM to operate. The followng aspect appears n CatalystTM Control Center: 3. Select the Advanced Vew from the vew drop menu. Important A CrossFreXTM system has four possble dsplay modes: SuperTlng Scssor ModeAlternate Frame RenderngSuper Ant-alasng. for more detals, please consult the graphcs card manual from the manufacturer. • • • •

Meanwhle, read the documentaton for the expanson card to configure any necessary hardware or software settngs for the expanson card, such as jumpers, swtches or BIOS configuraton. PCI Interrupt Request Routng The IRQ, acronym of nterrupt request lne and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lnes over whch devces can send nterrupt sgnals to the mcroprocessor. The PCI IRQ pns are typcally connected to the PCI bus pns as follows: Order1 Order2 Order3 Order4 PCI Slot1 INT E# INT F# INT G# INT H# PCI Slot2 INT F# INT G# INT H# INT E#
