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.
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 Pro 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-8KNXP Ultra-64 (or any AGP Pro 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-8KNXP Ultra-64 (or any AGP Pro 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
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.
1.Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2.Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. I f 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 whenev er the components are separated from the system.
5.Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is switched off before you plug in or remove theATX power connector on the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis...
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up w ith 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 fix ing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
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.

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.

Step 2: Install Memory Modules
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:
1.When RAM_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 cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
The motherboard has 6 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.
Notch
DDR
1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) mem ory is a high perform ance 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, yetmake 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.
Dual Channel DDR:
GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 supports Dual Channel Technology.
When Dual Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of mem ory bus will be double the original one,with the fastest speed at 6.4GB/s DDR400.
GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 includes six DIMM slots, and each Channel has 3 DIM Ms as following:
Channel A : DIMM 1, 2, 3
Channel B : DIMM 4, 5, 6
Below are the explanations:
1. One, three, or five DDR memory modules are installed: The Dual Channel Technology will not operate when one, three, or five DDR memory modules are installed and they
|
will only work as Single Channel. |
2. |
Two DDR mem ory modules are installed (the sam e mem ory size and type): The Dual |
|
Channel Technology will operate when two DDR m emory modules are inserted indi- |
|
vidually into Channel A and Channel B (DIMM 1 pairs up with DIMM 4, DIMM 2, 5 and |
|
DIMM 3, 6). However, if the two DDR memory m odules are inserted into the sam e |
|
Channel (DIMM 1,2,3 or DIMM 4,5,6) then Dual Channel Technology will not operate. |
3. |
Three or five DDR mem ory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel |
|
Technology will not operate when three or five DDR m emory modules are installed; part |
|
of them will not be detected. |
4. |
If four DDR m emory modules are installed (two pairs of DDR memory modules with the |
|
same m emory size and type): The Dual Channel Technology will operate when a pair |
|
of DDR memory modules are inserted into DIMM1, 4 and another pair into DIMM 2,5. |
English

Hardware Installation Process |
English
5. If six DDR memory modules are installed: To activate the Dual Channel Technology and to make the size of each DDR mem ory m odule detected, please use six DDR mem ory modules with identical size and type and insert them into the six DIM Ms following the sequence below:
DIM M 1: Double or Single Side DIM M 2: Single Side
DIM M 3: Single Side
DIMM 4: Double or Single Side (if DIMM1 is inserted a double-side module, then DIIMM4 must also be inserted a double-side one.)
DIM M 5: Single Side
DIM M 6: Single Side
The following tables include all mem ory-installed combination types: (Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.)
