Installation Guide

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 slo ts 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.

Suspend To RAM Installation

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Wi ndows 98 A CPI s leep mode function. When recovering from

STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to r etrieve 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 Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes)
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

“D:\setup”

in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.

C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “ Standby” mode in Power Buttons.

D. Restart your computer to complete setup.

Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, j ust momentarily press the “Power on ”
button.

A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode?

There are five ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button.

2. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.

3. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.

4. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.

A.5 Notices :

1. In order for STR to function properly , several hardware and software requi rements must

be satisfied:

A. Your ATX powe r supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 s pecification (provide more

than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current).

B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant.

2. Jumper JP12 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your
chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your

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
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.

Windows overdrive utility

“Overdrive” might be one of the most
common issues in computer field. But have
many users ever tried it? The answer is
probably “no”. Because “overdrive” is thought
to be very difficult and includes a lot of
technical know-how, sometimes “overdrive” is

even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.

But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot of
time and money to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools to do
“overdrive”. And even with these technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a risk
because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system is unknown.

Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility EasyTune

--announced by Gigabyte. This utility has totally changed the gaming rule of
“overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility suitable for both normal and power users.
Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode” to run “overdrive” at their
convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click “Auto
Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will then
overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If
someone prefers to “overdrive” by oneself, there is also another choice. Click
“Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking. In “Advanced Mode”, one
can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate system
performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*,
EasyTune

helps to perform the best of system.

III

Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune
doesn’t require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on
the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at only one click. Therefore, this is a safer way
for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs
EasyTune
again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed
system speed been tested in EasyTune
it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune

Memory

••••

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

(Default Value)

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.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free
for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM
