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(3.3V) card is not supported by VIA® KT600. You might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) 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-7VT600(-L) (or any AGP 4X 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-7VT600(-L) (or any AGP 4X 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 VIA® KT600 based motherboards.

WARNING!
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 othercomponents.
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.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Memory, Cards…etc.

Step 2: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:
1.Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
2.If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
Step 2-1: CPU Installation
English

Step 2-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation
Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning:
1.Please use AMD approved cooling fan.
2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
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.
1.Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
3.Fasten the cooling fan supportingbase onto the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2. Use qualified fan approved by AMD.
4.Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector, than install completely.

Step 3: Install Memory Modules
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please
change the insert orientation.
The motherboard has 3 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.

1.The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2.Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3.Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
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.

Step 4: 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, necessary 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.
English
Please carefully pull out the small white-drawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you try to install/
uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to AGP Card the onboard AGP slot and press firmly down on the
