Gigabyte GA-8PE667 PRO, GA-8PE667 ULTRA User Manual

Page 1

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X(1.5V).

Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by Intel® 845(GE/PE) /

845(E/G) / 850(E). You might experience system unable to boot up

normally. Please insert an AGP 4X(1.5V) 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-8PE667 Ultra/GA-8PE667 Pro(or any AGP 4X only) motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to 4X(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-8PE667 Ultra/GA-8PE667 Pro (or any AGP 4X 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) based motherboards.

Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS

label from PCI slots if there is one.

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.

WARNING!

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

ower 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 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.

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 CPU,

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.

Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation

English

1. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base

onto the CPU socket on the

mainboard.



 Please use Intel approved cooling fan.

 

 We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between



your CPU and heatsink.

(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.)



 Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes



the installation.



 Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation procedure.



2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to

the CPU fan connector, than install

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory

installed in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory

installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory

installed on the motherboard.

the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while

the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing

has happened in your BIOS.

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 GA-6OXET Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards

will also incorporate this innovation.

What’s DualBIOSTM?

On GIGABYTE motherboards w6ith 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. DualBIOS

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.

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

Answer:

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

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

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 DualBIOS

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

III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work?

Answer:

English

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOSTM technology?

Answer:

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. DualBIOS

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 DualBIOS

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. DualBIOS

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.

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 DualBIOS

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 DualBIOS

- 74 -GA-8PE667 Ultra/Pro Motherboard

Page 79

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

2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS

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 DualBIOS

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.

Gigabyte announces EasyTune

4 Windows based Overclocking utility

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

Overclock" might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever

tried it? The answer is probably "no". Because "Overclock" is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes "Overclock" is even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts. But as to the experts in "Overclock", what's the truth? They may spend quite a lot of time and money to study, try and use many different hardware 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 overclocking 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" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune 4 over system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed has been tested in EasyTune 4, user can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has already turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test drive of "EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves. *Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products supported list in the web site. *Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.
