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/P) / 875P. You might experience system

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-8I865PE-L (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-8I865PE-L (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/P) / 875P based motherboards.

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.

Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation procedure.

Step 2: Install memory modules

Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:

English

When RAM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.

Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches.

Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically

detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM

socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary

between sockets.

Notch

DDR

GA-8I865PE-L supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology,

the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s.

GA-8I865PE-L includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, DIMM 2

Channel B : DIMM 3, DIMM 4

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due

to the limitation of Intel

chipset specifications.

1. Only one DDR memory module is installed: The Dual Channel Technology can't operate

when only one DDR memory module is installed.

- 14 -GA-8I865PE-L Motherboard

- 15 - Hardware Installation Process

English

2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual

Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into

Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel

Technology will not operate.

3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel

Technology will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of

them will not be detected.

4. Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the same

time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same

memory size and type.

We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the

same color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.

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

bottleneck 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.

Introduction

Gigabyte announces @ BIOS

Windows BIOS live update utility

Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like

many other people, you just know what BIOS is,

but always hesitate to update it? Because you think

updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually

you don't know how to update it.

Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time

to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and

then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS.

The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source

code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.

Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your

time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte

announces @BIOS— the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update

software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS

update software, it's a Windows utility. With the help of "@BIOS", BIOS updating is no more than a

click.

Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it's a Gigabyte's product*, @BIOS help

you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to

choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site

automatically. There are several different choices; you could use "Internet Update" to download and

update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose

"Save Current BIOS" to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update

your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and

manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte's innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard

industries.

For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It's free! Now, if you buy a

Gigabyte's motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please

remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your

Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy Tune

4 Introduction

Gigabyte announces EasyTune

Windows based Overclocking utility

English

EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.

Overclock" might be one of the most common issues

in computer field. But have many users ever tried it?

The answer is probably "no". Because "Overclock"

is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of

technical know-how, sometimes "Overclock" is even

considered as special skills found only in some

enthusiasts. But as to the experts in "Overclock",

what's the truth? They may spend quite a lot of time

and money to study, try and use many different hard-

ware or BIOS tools to do "Overclock". And even with these technologies, they still learn that it's quite a

risk because the safety and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything is different

because of a Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte. This win-

dows based utility has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first windows based

overclocking utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either "Easy Mode"

or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who choose "Easy Mode", they

just need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will

then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If users prefer

"Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced Mode" to enjoy "sport drive" class

Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to change the system bus / AGP /

Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system performance. It operates in

coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional over-clocking

methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting;

on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore, this is a safer way for "Overclock"

as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune 4 over system's limitation, the

biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one

well-performed system speed has been tested in EasyTune 4, user can "Save" this setting and "Load"

it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has already turned the "Overclock" technology toward

to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in

driver CD. Users may make a test drive of "EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by

themselves.

*Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products supported list

in the web site.

*Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any

damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.
