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/8X(1.5V)

mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V).

The GA-8IP900MK (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not

function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to 4X/8X

(1.5) 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-8IP900MK (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

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 y ou 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 cool-

ing 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 memory modules, adhere to the following warning:

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

English

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

the one notch. 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

1. The DIMM s ocket has a notch, so the DIMM memory

module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM

socket. Then push it down.

3. Close the plas tic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets

to lock the DIMM module.

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data R ate) memory is a

high perfor mance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory v endors, OEMs

and sy stem integrators.

DDR memory is a sensible ev olutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAM infrastruc ture, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck

by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from

existing SDRAM designs due to its avail ability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR

memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through readi ng and writing at both the rising and falling edge

of the cl ock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 w hen running with the same DRAM

clock frequency . With peak bandwidth of 2.664 GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs

to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations,

high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems.

Dual Channel DDR:

GA-8IP900MK supports Dual Channel Technology.

When Dual Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of memory bus will be double the original

one,w ith the fastest speed at 5.3GB/s DDR333.

GA-8IP900MK includes four DIMM slots, and each Channel has 2 DIMMs as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, 2

Channel B : DIMM 3, 4

Below are the explanations:

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following ex planations

due to the limitation o f 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. Additionally, you can boot the

system only when the memory module is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand,

the memory module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.

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 indiv idually

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

Channel Technology will not operate. Additionally, y ou can boot the system only when

one of the memory modules is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand, the memory

module must b e inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.

3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that the Dual Channel Technol-

ogy will "not" operate when three DDR memory modules are installed. If you install

three memory modules, the system will only detect those memory modules inserted in

Channel A, and those in Channel B will not be detected!

- 15 - Hardware Installation Process

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.

The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:

Step 3: Install expansion cards

1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the

computer.

2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer.

3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.

4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.

5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.

6. Replace your computer's chassis cover.

7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.

8. Install related driver from the operating system.

Please carefully pull out the small white-drawable

bar at the end of the AGP slot w hen yo u try to

@BIOS

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 dont 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 its 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.

EasyTune

4 Introduction

Gigabyte announces EasyTune

4

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

hardware 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 windows 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.
