chiliGREEN GA-8IPE1000-MK User Manual

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/8X(1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The GA-8IPE1000MK (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-8IPE1000MK (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.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis...

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.

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.

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

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.

English

1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-

base onto the CPU socket on the

motherboard.

2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged

to the CPU fan connector, than

Step 2: Install Memory Modules

English

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.

Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:

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

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.

Notch

DDR

1. The DIMM socket 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 plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets 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.

Dual Channel Memory Configuration

The GA-8IPE1000MK supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel

Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double.

GA-8IPE1000MK includes four DIMM slots, and each Channel has 2 DIMMs as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, 2

Channel B : DIMM 3, 4 If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.

1. Dual channel memory cannot be used if one or three DDR memory modules are installed.

2. If two DDR memory modules are installed (same storage capacity), one must be added to the Channel A slot and the other in the Channel B slot in order to use dual channel memory. Dual channel memory cannot function if both DDR memory modules are installed on the samechannel.

3. If four DDR memory modules are installed, please use memory of the same storage capacity in order to use dual channel memory and for BIOS to detect all the DDR memory modules.

English

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.

The following table is for Dual Channel Technology combination: (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side)

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1". When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used. Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system. @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

@BIOS™ Introduction

Gigabyte announces @BIOS

Windows BIOS live update utility

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.

™

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.

Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:

a. PATA IDE primary channel b. PATA IDE secondary channel c. SATA IDE channel 1 d. SATA IDE channel 2 e. SATA IDE channel 3 f. SATA IDE channel 4

Precautions:

1. When using hard disks with more than 128G under Windows 2000, be sure to execute the EnableBigLba.exe program from the driver CD before data backup.

2. It is normal that data backup takes longer time than data restoration.

3. Xpress Recovery2 is compliant with the GPL regulations.

4. On a few motherboards based on Nvidia chipsets, BIOS update is required for Xpress Recovery2 to correctly identify RAID and SATA IDE mode. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer.

5. Xpress Recovery2 supports only PATA hard disks and not SATA hard disks on the following motherboards (As this is a BIOS-related issue, it can be solved by BIOS update)
