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/PL/P) / 875P / 848P. You might experiencesystem 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-8I865P(-G) (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-8I865P(-G) (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) /

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

Step 1-2 : CPU Cooling Fan Installation

Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning:

1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan.

2. We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction

between your CPU and cooling fan.

(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal

paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the

processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the

processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape

instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)

3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this

completes the installation.

Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation procedure.

Step 2: Install memory modules

English

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.

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.

DDR

GA-8I865P(-G) supports the Dual Channel Technolo gy. After operati ng the Dual Channel Techno logy, the bandwidth of Memor y Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s. GA-8I865P(-G) includes 4 DIM M sockets, and each Channel has two DIM M sockets as following:

Channel A : DIM M 1, DIMM 2 Channel B : DIMM 3, DIM M 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.

- 14 -GA-8I865P(-G) Motherboard

2. Two DDR m emory modules are installed (the sam e memory size and type): The Dual Channel Technology will operate when two me mory modules are inserted individually into Channel A and B. If you install two mem ory modules in the same channel, the D ual Channel Techn ology wil l not ope rate.

3. Three DDR mem ory modules are installe d: Please note that The Dual Channel

Technology will not operate when three DDR m emory modules are installed; part of

them will not be detected.

4. Four DDR mem ory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the same time, the D ual Channel Technology will operate only when those m odules have the sam e mem ory 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.

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.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a C MOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activ ate certain sy stem features. The CMOS SETUP sav es 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 C M OS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CM OS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing " Ctrl + F1". When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the

event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used. Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the op erating

system. @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

FAQ

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a specific motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm

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)

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.

- 79 -

Appendix

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

- 80 -GA-8I865P(-G) Motherboard

g AWARD BIOS Beep Codes

1 short: System boots successfully 2 short: CMOS setting error 1 long 1 short: DRAM or M/B error 1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error 1 long 3 short: Keyboard error 1 long 9 short: BIOS ROM error Continuous long beeps: DRAM error

Continuous short beeps: Power error

Question 11:For the M/B which have RAID function, how to set in the BIOS in order to bootup from IDE3, 4 by either RAID or ATA mode? Answer:Please set in the BIOS as follow:

1. Advanced BIOS features-->(SATA)/RAID/SCSI boot order: "SATA"

2. Advanced BIOS features--> First boot device: "SCSI"

3. Integrated Peripherals--> Onboard H/W ATA/RAID: "enable" Then it depends on the RAID mode that you need to set "RAID" to RAID mode or "ATA" to normal ATA mode in the item named RAID controller function.

Question 12:How to set in the BIOS to bootup from the IDE/ SCSI/ RAID card ? Answer:Please set in the BIOS as follow:

1. Advanced BIOS features-->(SATA)/RAID/SCSI boot order: "SCSI"

2. Advanced BIOS features--> First boot device: "SCSI" Then it depends on the mode(RAID or ATA) that you need to set in RAID/ SCSI BIOS.
