1- 1 Considerations Prior to Installation

Preparing Your Computer

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become
damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Thus, prior to installation, please follow the
instructions below:

1. Please turn off the computer and unplug its power cord.

2. When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

3. It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) cuff when handling electronic components
(CPU, RAM).

4. Prior to installing the electronic components, please have these items on top of an antistatic pad or
within a electrostatic shielding container.

5. Please verify that the power supply is switched off before unplugging the power supply connector
from the motherboard.

Installation Notices

1. Prior to installation, please do not remove the stickers on the motherboard. These stickers are
required for warranty validation.

2. Prior to the installation of the motherboard or any hardware, please first carefully read the
information in the provided manual.

3. Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors are connected.

4. To prevent damage to the motherboard, please do not allow screws to come in contact with the
motherboard circuit or its components.

5. Please make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard
or within the computer casing.

6. Please do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

7. Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system
components as well as physical harm to the user.

8. If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product,
please consult a certified computer technician.

Instances of Non-Warranty

1. Damage due to natural disaster, accident or human cause.

2. Damage as a result of violating the conditions recommended in the user manual.

3. Damage due to improper installation.

2-1: Installing Memory Module

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory module, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory
capacity and specifications. The memory module only can be inserted in one direction.

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

1. Please make sure the computer power is switched off before installing or removing
memory modules.

Installation Steps:

Step 1. Align the memory with the DIMM module and insert the DIMM memory module into the DIMM

slot. Please note that memory module has a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can
be installed In only one direction.

Step 2. Push down the memory to seat it firmly.

An IDE device connects to the computer via an IDE connector. One IDE connector can connect
to one IDE cable, and the single IDE cable can then connect to two IDE devices (hard drive or
optical drive). If you want to connect two IDE devices, please set the jumper on one IDE device
as Master and the other as Slave (for information, please refer to the instructions located on the IDE
device).
Before attaching the IDE cable, please take note of the foolproof groove in IDE connector.

The cooler fan power connector supplies a +12V power voltage via a 3-pin power connector and
possesses a foolproof connection design.
Most coolers are designed with color-coded power connector wires. A red power connector wire
indicates a positive connection and requires a +12V power voltage. The black connector wire is the
ground wire (GND).
Remember to connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU_FAN connector to prevent CPU damage or
system hanging caused by overheating.

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, press the <F2> 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".
If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, or GIGABYTE's Q-Flash utilitycan be used.
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating
system.

Sector Number of sectors

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the
system.
The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K 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.

Total Memory

The BIOS determines the total memory is present during the POST.

BIOS Version

The BIOS determines the current BIOS version.

3-12 Flash BIOS Method Introduction

Method 1 : Q-Flash

TM

Q-FlashTM is a BIOS update tool that allows the user to update BIOS
without entering operating systems like MS-DOS or Windows.Em­bedded in the BIOS, the Q-FlashTM tool frees you from the hassles of

going through complicated BIOS flashing process.

Before Use:

Follow the steps below before using Q-Flash to update BIOS:

1. From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your
motherboard model.

2. Extract the downloaded BIOS files and save the new BIOS file (e.g. 6jiev.f1) to your floppy
diskor hard disk. Note: Q-Flash only supports hard disks or flash drives using FAT32/16/12 file system.

3. Restart the system. During BIOS POST, press the End key to enter Q-Flash. NOTE: Press the
Endkey to enter Q-Flash if you wish to use hard drives in RAID/AHCI mode or hard drives
attached to the independent IDE/SATA controller.

Step 1:
a. In the Q-Flash menu, use the UP or DOWN ARROW key to select Update BIOS from Drive and

press ENTER.

b. Select the floppy drive or hard drive where the BIOS file is saved, such as "Floppy A" and

press ENTER.

If you wish to back up the current BIOS file, use the Save BIOS to Drive function.

F5 : Refresh DEL : Delete

Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, please do it with caution and avoid inadequate
operation that may result in system malfunction.

BIOS Setup

Step 2: The process of system reading the BIOS file from the floppy disk is displayed on the screen.

When the message "Are you sure to update BIOS?" appears, press ENTER. The BIOS update
will begin and the current process will be displayed.

1. Do not turn off or restart the system when the system is reading/updating the BIOS.

2. Do not remove the floppy disk or hard drive/USB drive when the system is updating the BIOS.

Step 3: When the update process is complete, press any key to return to the Q-Flash main menu.

Step 4: Press ESC and then ENTER to exit Q-Flash and the system will restart. As the system reboots,

you will see the new BIOS version during POST.

Step 5: As the system reboots, press DELETE to enter BIOS Setup. Select Load Optimized Defaults

and press ENTER to load BIOS defaults. System will re-detect all peripherals devices after
BIOS update, so we recommend that you reload BIOS defaults.

Press Y to load BIOS defaults

Step 6: Select Save & Exit Setup and then press Y to save settings to CMOS and exit BIOS Setup.

When the system restarts, the whole update process is complete.
