Gigabyte 5225, 5222, 5230 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.

AGP 4X/8X notch

Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by nVIDIA® nForce™ 2 400. You might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP Pro 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-7N400E(-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-7N400E(-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 nVIDIA® nForce2 400

based motherboards.

Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from PCI

slots if there is one.

ATX 12V Cable (*)

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. T o 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 A TX power supply is switched of f before you plug in or remove the A TX 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.

(*) If this "ATX_12V connector" is not connected, system cannot boot.

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.

@ 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 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

FAQ

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a

specific motherboard model, please log on to

Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS. Why? Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.

Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down? Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down and that's why the light is still on.

Question 3: Why cannot I use all functions in EasyTune™ 4? Answer: The availability of the listed functions in EasyTune™ 4 depends on the MB chipset. If the

chipset doesn't support certain functions in EasyTune™ 4, these functions will be locked automatically and you will not be able to use them.

Question 4: Why do I fail to install RAID and ATA drivers under Win 2000 and XP on boards that support RAID function after I connect the boot HDD to IDE3 or IDE4 ? Answer: First of all, you need to save some files in the CD-ROM to a floppy disk before installing drivers. You also need to go through some rather different steps in the installation process. Therefore, we suggest that you refer to the installation steps in the RAID manual at our website. (Please download it at http://tw.giga-byte.com/support/user_pdf/raid_manual.pdf)

http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm

English

Question 5: How do I clear CMOS? Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the

manual. If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below:

Steps:

1. Turn off power.

2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.

3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to make them short for one minute).

4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.

5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.

6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults.

7. Save changes and reboot the system.

7n400e_1001_a.p65 2003/7/17, 下午 02:2279

Appendix- 79 -

Question 6: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS? Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing

BIOS. However, if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem.

English

Question 7: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume? Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not,

please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.

Question 8: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card? Answer: Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so

you don't need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA.

Question 9: Why cannot I use the IDE 2? Answer: Please refer to the user manual and check whether you have connected any cable that

is not provided with the motherboard package to the USB Over Current pin in the Front USB Panel. If the cable is your own cable, please remove it from this pin and do not connect any of your own cables to it.

Question 10: Sometimes I hear different continuous beeps from computer after system boots up. What do these beeps usually stand for? Answer: The beep codes below may help you identify the possible computer problems. However, they are only for reference purposes. The situations might differ from case to case.

gAMI BIOS Beep Codes *Computer gives 1 short beep when system boots successfully. *Except for beep code 8, these codes are always fatal.

1 beep Refresh failure 2 beeps Parity error 3 beeps Base 64K memory failure 4 beeps Timer not operational 5 beeps Processor error 6 beeps 8042 - gate A20 failure 7 beeps Processor exception interrupt error 8 beeps Display memory read/write failure 9 beeps ROM checksum error 10 beeps CMOS shutdown register read/write error 11 beeps Cache memory bad
