Gigabyte GA-8IE2004P-L, GA-8IE2004P User Manual

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the follow
ing 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).

Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by Intel® 845
(E/G)/ Intel® 850(E) . You might experience system unable to
boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X(1.5V) 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-8IE2004P(-L) (or any

AGP 4X only) motherboards might not function properly, if you install
this card without switching the jumper to 4X(1.5) 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/4X mode AGP

slot, but they support 2X(3.3V) only.The GA-8IE2004P(-L) (or any

AGP 4X 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(E/G) / 850(E) based 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.

WARNING!

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
ower 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.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications.
We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification
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.

M Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
M If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause

improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation

English

1. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on the
mainboard.

M Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
M We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between

your CPU and heatsink.
(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.)

M Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes

the installation.

M Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation procedure.

2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
complete.

Step 2: Install memory modules

The motherboard has 3 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets, but it can only support a
maximum of 4 banks of DDR memory. DDR sockets 1 uses 2 banks, DDR sockets 2&3 share the
remaining 2 banks. Please refer to the following tables for possible memory configurations supported.
The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push
it vertically into the DIMM socket .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch.
Memory size can vary between sockets.

Support Unbuffered DDR DIMM Sizes type:
64 Mbit (2Mx8x4 banks) 64 Mbit (1Mx16x4 banks) 128 Mbit(4Mx8x4 banks)

Established on the existing SDRAM industry 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 sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottle­neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration
path from existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100
DDR memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and
falling edge of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the
same DRAM clock frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.664GB per second, DDR memory enables
system OEMs to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for
servers, workstations, high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only

2.5 Volts compared to conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for
small form factor desktops and notebook applications.
