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(1.5V)
mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is
2X(3.3V). The GA-8IPE1000 Series (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-8IPE1000 Series (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.

Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from

PCI slots if there is one.

Warning

English

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.

1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-base

onto the CPU socket on the

mainboard.

2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to

the CPU fan connector, than install

complete.

Step 2: Install memory modules

English

The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. 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.

Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:

When RAM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches.
Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Notch

DDR

GA-8IPE1000 Series supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology,
the bandwidth of Memor y Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s.
GA-8IPE1000 Series includes 4 DIM M sockets, and each Channel has two DIM M sockets as following:

Channel A : DIM M 1, DIM M 2
Channel B : DIMM 3, DIMM 4

If yo u want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due

to the l imitation of Intel® chipset specifications.

1. Only one DDR m emory module is installed: The Dual Channel Technology can't operate
when only one DDR memory module is installed.

- 14 -GA-8IPE1000 Series Motherboard

English

2. Two DDR mem ory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual
Channel Technology will operate when two me mory modules are inserted in dividually into
Channel A and B. If you install two mem ory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel
Techn ology will not operate.

3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel

Technology will not operate when three DDR mem ory modules are installed; part of

them will not be detected.

4. Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four mem ory modules at the sam e
time, the D ual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same
mem ory 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.

The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:

(Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.)

Established on the existing SDRAM 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 great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance

bottleneck by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/

s of DDR400 memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory

is the best choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are

suitable for servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.

@ BIOSTM Introduction

Gigabyte announces @ BIOS

Windows BIOS live update utility

Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like

many other people, you just know what BIOS is,

but always hesitate to update it? Because you think

updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually

you don't know how to update it.

Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time

to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and

then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS.

The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source

code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.

Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your

time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte

announces @BIOS— the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update

software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS

update software, it's a Windows utility. With the help of "@BIOS", BIOS updating is no more than a

click.

Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it's a Gigabyte's product*, @BIOS help

you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to

choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site

automatically. There are several different choices; you could use "Internet Update" to download and

update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose

"Save Current BIOS" to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update

your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and

manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte's innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard

industries.

For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It's free! Now, if you buy a

Gigabyte's motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please

remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your

Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy TuneTM 4 Introduction

English

Windows based Overclocking utility

EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.

ware or BIOS tools to do "Overclock". And even with these technologies, they still learn that it's quite a
risk because the safety and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything is different
because of a Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte. This win­dows based utility has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first windows based
overclocking utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either "Easy Mode"
or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who choose "Easy Mode", they
just need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If users prefer
"Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced Mode" to enjoy "sport drive" class
Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to change the system bus / AGP /
Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system performance. It operates in
coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional over-clocking
methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting;
on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore, this is a safer way for "Overclock"

DualBIOSTM Technology FAQ

GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your

system BIOS. This newest "Value-added" feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE,

is available on this motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this

innovation.

What’s DualBIOSTM?

On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For

simplicity we’ll call one your "Main BIOS" and the other we'll call your "Backup" BIOS (your "hot

spare"). If your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next

system boot. Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a

failure in flashing your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result is

the same - the Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.

I. Q: What is DualBIOSTM technology?

Answer:

DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this

technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOSTM technology simply

means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS,

and the other is a backup BIOS. The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS, however,

if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the backup BIOS will be automatically

used when the system powered-On. Your PC will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged,

and is completely transparent to the user.

English

- 73 -

Tech nical Reference

II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOSTM technology?

Answer:

English

attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the BIOS (ROM) chip itself.

III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work?

Answer:

In today's systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common reasons are virus

1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS. They may

corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally.

2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets the system, or if

the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade.

3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file, then the system

may not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC system hang in operation or

during boot.

4. A flash ROM's life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics. The modern PC

utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If a user changes peripherals

often, there is a slight chance of damage to the flash ROM.

With Giga-Byte Technology’s patented DualBIOSTM technology you can reduce the

possibility of hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to above reasons.

This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause

by BIOS failures.

1. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It

protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP

detection/assignment.

2. DualBIOSTM provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during

boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible. In

the DualBIOSTM utility, the "Auto Recovery" option will guarantee that if either the main

BIOS or backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOSTM technology will use the good BIOS

and correct the wrong BIOS automatically.

3. DualBIOSTM provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOSTM technology contains a

built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa

versa. There is no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.

4. DualBIOSTM contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash utility will ensure that

the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the correct

BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from being

flashed.

- 74 -GA-8IPE1000 Series Motherboard

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOSTM technology?

Answer:

1. Every user should have DualBIOSTM technology due to the advancement of computer

viruses.

Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system

BIOS. Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against this

type of virus intrusion. The DualBIOSTM technology will provide a state-of-the-art solution to

protect your PC:

Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a

conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for repairs.

Case II.) If the "Auto Recovery" option is enabled in the DualBIOSTM utility, and if a virus

corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically reboot the system and

correct the main BIOS.

Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOSTM utility

may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS.

2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the

backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the

main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOSTM technology examines

the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee

your BIOS operates properly.

3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The

benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.

4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOSTM utility,

the option can be set, "Halt On When BIOS Defects," to be enabled to halt your system with

awarning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers

require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation,

the "Halt On When BIOS Defects" message may be disabled to avoid system pauses

during normal booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte's DualBIOS

technology is the ability to upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4

Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.

FAQ

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a

specific motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm

Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS.

Why?

Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys

after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.

Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?

Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts

down and that's why the light is still on.

Question 3: Why cannot I use all functions in EasyTune™ 4?

Answer: The availability of the listed functions in EasyTune™ 4 depends on the MB chipset. If the

chipset doesn't support certain functions in EasyTune™ 4, these functions will be locked automati-

cally and you will not be able to use them.

Question 4: Why do I fail to install RAID and ATA drivers under Win 2000 and XP on boards that

support RAID function after I connect the boot HDD to IDE3 or IDE4 ?

Answer: First of all, you need to save some files in the CD-ROM to a floppy disk before installing

drivers. You also need to go through some rather different steps in the installation process. Therefore,

we suggest that you refer to the installation steps in the RAID manual at our website.

voltage to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below:

Question 6: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS?

Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing

BIOS. However, if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem.

Question 7: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?

Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not,

please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.

Steps:

1. Turn off power.

2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.

3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a

metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to make

them short for one minute).

4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.

5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.

6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults.

7. Save changes and reboot the system.

Question 8: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card?

Answer: Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so

you don't need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA.

Question 9: Why cannot I use the IDE 2?

Answer: Please refer to the user manual and check whether you have connected any cable that

is not provided with the motherboard package to the USB Over Current pin in the Front USB

Panel. If the cable is your own cable, please remove it from this pin and do not connect any of your

own cables to it.
