Pentium®4 Processor Motherboard
Rev. 2.0 Third Edition
12M D-8IRX-2003
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).
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-8IRX (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-8IRX (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.
Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS
label from PCI slots if there is one.

WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, y ou 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 y ou do not hav e
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 with the
components whenev er the components are separated from the sy stem.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remov e the ATX
ower connector on the motherboard.
English
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 y ou 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 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 PC B tha t are near the
fix ing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

English
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 C PU,
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.
