GA-8IP900MK
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/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/8X(1.5V)
mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V).
The GA-8IP900MK (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not
function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to 4X/8X
(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(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support 2X(3.3V)
only. The GA-8IP900MK (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) / 875P based motherboards.

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain v ery delicate Integrated Circuit
(IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electrici ty, 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 y our 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 w ith the components
whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is sw itched 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 attac h the spacers, do not become alarm ed 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 y ou can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes y ou 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 fix ing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
English
Step 1-1: CPU Installation
Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:
1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
2. 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.
Angling the
rod to 65

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 cool-
ing 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 th erm al tape instead of
thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
3. Make sure the CPU fan powe r cab le is pl ugg ed in to the CPU fan
connector, this completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU cooling fan u s er 's man ua l for more detail
installation procedure.
English
1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-
base onto the CPU soc ket on the
motherboard.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged
to the CPU fan connector, tha n
install complete.
- 13 - Hardware Installation Process
Step 2: Install Memory Modules
English
The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) socke ts. 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 on e direction due to the notch. Memory siz e ca n vary
between sockets.
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:
1. When DIMM LED is ON, do not install / remove DIMM from socket.
2. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to
the one notch. Wrong orientation will caus e im proper installation.
Please change the insert orientation.
Notch
DDR
1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory
module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIM M memory module vertically into the DIMM
socket. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both ed ges of the DIMM sockets
to lock the DIMM mod ule.
Reverse the installation steps when y ou wish to remove
the DIMM mod ule.

DDR Introduction
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 ve ndors, OEMs
and sy stem integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible ev olutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the ex isting
SDRAM infrastruc ture, y et makes aw esome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck
by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDR AM will offer a superior solution and migration path from
existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pri cing and ov e rall mar ket supp ort. PC2100 DDR
memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through readi ng and w riting at both the rising and falling edge
of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 w hen running w ith 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 subsy stems that are suitable for servers, w orkstations,
high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems.
Dual Channel DDR:
GA-8IP900MK supports Dual Channel Technology.
When Du al Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of memory bus w ill be double the original
one,w ith the fastest sp eed at 5 .3GB/s DDR333.
GA-8IP900MK includes four DIMM slots, and each Channel has 2 DIMMs as following:
Channel A : DIMM 1, 2
Channel B : DIMM 3, 4
Below are the explanations:
If y ou want to opera te the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations
due to the limitation o f Intel chipset specifications.
1. Only one DDR memory module i s i nstall ed: Th e Dual Ch ann el Technology can 't
operate when only one DDR memory module is installed. Additiona lly, you can boot the
system only when the memory module is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand,
the memory module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.
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 y ou install two me mory modules in the same channel, the Dual
Channel Technology will not operate. Additionally, y ou can boot the sy stem only w hen
one of the memory modules is in serted into Channel A. On the other hand, the memory
module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 soc kets.
3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that the Dual Channel Technology will "not" operate when three DDR memory modules are in stalled. If you install
three memory modules, the system will only detect those memory modules inserted in
Channel A, and those in Channel B will not be detected!
English
- 15 - Hardware Installation Process
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.
English
The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:
