When you are 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-8I865PE-TW (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-8I865PE-TW (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) / 875Pbased motherboards.

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.
English
1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the
CPU fan connector, than install completely.
- 11 -Hardware Installation Process
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-8I865PE-TW 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-8I865PE-TW includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:
Channel A : DDR 1, DDR 2
Channel B : DDR 3, DDR 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.
- 12 -GA-8I865PE-TW Motherboard
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.
