Инструкция к Материнской Плате Gigabyte GA-8I845PE Pro

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following

notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has

"AGP 4X/8X (1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your

AGP card is AGP 4X/8X (1.5V).

AGP 4X/8X notch

®

Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by Intel

845(GE/PE) / 845(E/

G) / 850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/PL/P) / 875P / 848P. You might

experiencesystem unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP

4X/8X card.

Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X

mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X(1.5V)

mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is

2X(3.3V). The GA-8I845PE Pro (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards

might not function properly, if you install this card without switching the

jumper to 4X(1.5V) mode in it.

Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power Color",

the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their golden finger

is compatible with 2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support 2X

(3.3V) only. The GA-8I845PE Pro (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards

might not function properly, If you install this card in it.

Note: Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage

128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X(1.5V)

®

specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with Intel

845(GE/PE) /

845(E/G) / 850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/PL/P) / 875P / 848P based

Warning

English

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To

protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you

work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or

other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there

are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the

mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so

be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying

about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the

motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the

screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may

damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Step 1-2 : CPU Cooling Fan Installation

Before installing the CPU Cooling Fan , adhere to the following warning:

1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan.

2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction

between your CPU and cooling fan.

(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal

paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the

processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the

processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal

tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)

3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this

completes the installation.

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high

performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs,

and system integrators.

DDR memory is a great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance bottle-

neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/s of

DDR400 memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is

the best choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are suitable

for servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.
