þ The GA-8ILFT motherboard þ I/O Shield
English
þ IDE cable x 1/ Floppy cable x 1 þ CD for motherboard driver & utility (IUCD) þ GA-8 ILFT user’s manual
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them agai nst damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
W ARNING!
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handlin g 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 co mponents.
4. Place comp onents on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whene ver the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off befo re you plug in or remove the ATX power connector o n the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis…
If the mo therboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spa cers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the botto m portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of you r hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes yo u may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB sur face, 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 boa rd malfunctioning.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accord ance with your processor’s specifications. We don’t recommend yo u to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification because the se specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whethe r your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets,SDRA M,Cards….etc.

Introduction
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process
To set up your computer, you must compl ete the following steps:
English
Step 1- Install the Central Processi ng Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 4- Setup BIOS s oftware Step 5- Install supporting software tools

Step 1-1 : CPU Installation
English
Pin1 indicator
CPU Top V iew CPU Bott om View
Socket Actuation Lever
1. Pull up the CP U socket lever and up to 90-degree angle.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
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.

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Then insert the CPU into the socket.

Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation
English
1. Hook one end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socke t first.
M
Please use Intel ap proved 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 therm al 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 CP U heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation
procedure.
2. Hook the oth er end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket.

Step 2: Install memory modules
The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects mem ory 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 notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.

English
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMMmemory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module verticallyinto the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the pla stic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
M When STR/DIMM LED is ON, you do not install / remove DDR from socket.

DDR Introduction
high performance and cost-effective solution that allows e asy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and system in tegrators.
English
SDRAM infrastructu re, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling t he memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from existing S DRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR memory (DDR266) doub les 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 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, wo rkstations, high­end 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 m emory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops and notebook applications.
Established on the existing SDRAM i ndustry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a
