Gigabyte GA-8IDML 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 notch"(show below), please make
sure your AGP card is AGP 4X (1.5V).
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will
burn and damage the motherboard due to Intel® 845 chipset
can't support AGP 2X(3.3V).
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). If you install this card in GA-8IDML series (or any AGP 4X
only) motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it
will burn the motherboard.
Example 2: ATi Rage 128 Pro (Power Color) & SiS 305 golden finger is
compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but it supports 2X(3.3V) only. If
you install this card in GA-8IDML series (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards, it will burn the motherboard.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S is compliance with AGP 4X (1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S will work fine with Intel 845 / 850 based
motherboards.

? Due to rapid change in technology, some of the
specifications might be out of date before publication
of this booklet.
? Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual
BIOS label from PCI slots if there is one.

WARNING!
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 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.

because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,
Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards… .etc.

Hardware Installation Process
Step 2: Install memory modules
The motherboard has 2 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets support 4 banks. The BIOS will
automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the
DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch. Memory size can vary
between sockets.
SDRAM
1. The DIMM slot has two notch, so the
DIMM memory module can only fit in
one direction.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module
vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it down.
? When STR/DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove SDRAM from socket.
