Installation Guide

Getting Started

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
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.

1.Pull the lever out and lift it up.

2.The notched corner should be orientated
toward the blank space on the socket nearest
the lever. The CPU will only fit in the orientation
as shown.

CPU Heat Sink Installation:

Beware: Please check that the heat sink is in good contact with the CPU before you turn on your

system.

The poor contact will cause over heat, and might cause damage to your

processor!

Memory Installation

The motherboard has 2 dual inl ine memory mod ule (DIM M) sockets s upport 4 banks . The BIOS
will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it
vertically into the DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch.
Memory size can vary between sockets.

SDRAM

1. The DIMM slot has two notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module verticall y
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.

Suspend To RAM Installation

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (ST R) is a Window s 98 A CPI sl eep mode function. When recovering f rom

STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a f ew seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of
the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory
(RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system
state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup

Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with W indows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes)

“D:\setup”

in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

7ZMMH Motherboard

31

Step 2:

(If you want to use STR Function, please set jumper JP7 Pin1-2 (Closed.)

Pin No. Definition
1-2 close STR Enable
2-3 close Norm al (Def au lt)

Enable

1

Step 3:

Power on the computer and as soon as memory counting starts, press <Del>. You will enter
BIOS Setup. Select the item

“POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”,

then select

“ACPI Standby

State: S3 /STR”

. Remember to save the setti ngs by press ing "ESC" and choose the

“SAVE &

EXIT SETUP”

option.

Congratulation! You have completed the installation and now can use the STR function.

be satisfied:

A. Your ATX power supply must comply wi th the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more

than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current).

B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100/PC-133 compliant.

2. Jumper JP8 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Some

chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system
is in STR sleep mode.

@BIOS™ Introduction

Gigabyte announces

@BIOS™

Windows BIOS li ve updat e 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
internet and 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

™

memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more
memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory

address map.

Other Me mory

This refers to the memory l ocated i n t he 640 K to 1024 K addres s s pace. T his i s
memory that can be used for different applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free
