Gigabyte AGP 4X, AGP 8X 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(1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The GA-8IPE775 Series (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-8IPE775 Series (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.

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

Warning

English

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.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis...

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. 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

Hardware Installation Process

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

English

Step 1-1: Installation of the CPU

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of the CPU.

3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and heatsink.

4. Please make sure the heatsink is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.

5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

HT functionality requirement content :

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all of the following platform components:

- CPU: An Intel® Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology

- Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology

- BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Metal Lever

Fig. 1 Gently lift the metal lever located on the CPU socket to the upright position.

Fig. 3 Notice the small gold colored triangle located on the edge of the CPU socket. Align the indented corner of the CPU with the triangle and gently insert the CPU into position.

Fig. 2 Remove the plastic covering on the CPU socket.

Fig. 4 Once the CPU is properly inserted, please replace the plastic covering and push the metal lever back into its original position.

- 12 -GA-8IPE775 Series Motherboard

Step 1-2: Installation of the Heatsink

English

Fig.1 Please apply an even layer of heatsink paste on the surface of the installed CPU.

(for detailed installation instructions, please refer to the heat sink installation section of the user manual)

Fig. 3 Please attach the power connector of the heatsink to the CPU fan header located on the motherboard. Installation is complete.

The heatsink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heatsink paste. If the heatsink is removed when this occurs, the CPU may become pulled from its socket with the metal lever still in its locked position and result in damage to the processor pins. To prevent such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat sink paste be used for heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the heatsink.

Fig. 2 Place the heatsink atop the CPU and then secure each of the four heatsink clips by pressing downwards.

Step 2: Installation of Memory

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

- 13 -

Hardware Installation Process

The motherboard supports DDR memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

English

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.

- 14 -GA-8IPE775 Series Motherboard

GA-8IPE775 Series supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s. GA-8IPE775 Series includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, DIMM 2 Channel B : DIMM 3, DIMM 4 If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the limitation of 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.

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 individually into Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel Technology will not operate.

3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel Technology will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of them will not be detected.

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.

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 tables include all memory-installed combination types: (Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.)

Check the pin assignment carefully while you connect the SPDIF cable, incorrect connection between the cable and connector will make the device unable to work or even damage it.
