Gigabyte GA-8KNXP ULTRA-64 User Manual
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
English
Computer motherboards and expan sion cards contain very delicate Integrated C ircuit (IC ) chip s. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenev er y ou
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 y our hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without w orry ing
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 car eful, don't let the
screw contact any prin ted circuit write or parts on the PC B that are near the fix ing hole, otherwise it
may damage the board or ca use board malfunctio ning.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap befo re handling compu ter comp onents. If you do not have one,
touch both of your hands to a safely gro unded object or to a metal object, such as the power
supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try no t touch the IC chips, leads or con nectors, or other
components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the co mponents
whenev er the com ponents are separated from the sy stem.
5. Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX pow er
connector on the motherboard.

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 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.
English
1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-
base onto the CPU socket on the

DDR Introduction
Establ ished o n the e xisting SDRAM infrastruc ture, DDR (Do uble Data Rate) mem ory is a high
perform ance and cost-effective so lution that allows eas y adoption for m emo ry vend ors, 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.
Dual Channel DDR:
GA-8K NXP Ultra-64 suppo rts Dual Channel Technolog y.
When D ual Channel Techno logy is activa ted, the bandwidth of m em ory bus will be double the or iginal
one, with the fastest spee d at 6.4 GB/s DDR 400.
GA-8K NXP Ultra-6 4 incl udes six DIMM slots, and each Cha nnel h as 3 DIM Ms as following:
Chann el A : D IMM 1, 2, 3
Chann el B : D IMM 4, 5, 6
Belo w are the explana tions:
1. One, three, or five DD R mem ory modul es are in stalled: The Dual C hannel Technol ogy
will not ope rate when one , three, or five DDR me mory m odules are ins talled and they
will only work a s Sin gle Chann el.
2. Two DDR mem ory modul es are i nstalled (the sam e mem ory size and type): The D ual
Chan nel Technolog y will operate when two DDR m em ory modu les are inserted i ndi-
viduall y into Channel A a nd Channe l B (DIMM 1 pairs up with DIMM 4, D IMM 2, 5 and
DIMM 3, 6). However, if the two DDR mem ory m odules are inserted into the sam e
Channe l (DIMM 1,2,3 or DIMM 4,5,6) then Dual Ch annel Technology will not operate.
3. Three or five DDR memory m odules are installed: Plea se note that The Du al Channel
Technology will not operate when three or five DDR m em ory module s are installed; part
of them will not be detected.
4. If four DDR memory modules a re installed (two pairs of DDR m emory m odules with the
sam e m em ory size and type): The Dual C hannel Technology will operate when a pair
of DDR m emory m odules are inserted into DIMM 1, 4 an d another pair into DIM M 2,5.
