845(E/G) / 850(E)/E7205 / 865(P/G/PE)/875P. You might experience
system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP Pro 4X/8X
(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-8PENXP 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/4X mode AGP slot, but they
support 2X(3.3V) only. The GA-8PENXP 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

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.
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. 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

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.

DDR Introduction
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 bottle-
neck 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:
8PENXP supports Dual Channel Technology.
When Dual Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of memory bus will be double the original one,
with the fastest speed at 6.4GB/s DDR400.
8PENXP includes six DIMM slots, and each Channel has 3 DIMMs 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 memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual Chan-
nel Technology will operate when two DDR memory modules are inserted individually 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 modules are inserted into the same Channel (DIMM 1,2,
3 or DIMM 4,5,6) then Dual Channel Technology will not operate.
3. Three or five DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel Tech-
nology will not operate when three or five DDR memory modules are installed; part of them
will not be detected.
4. If four DDR memory modules are installed (two pairs of DDR memory modules with the
same memory 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
- 15 - Hardware Installation Process
English
The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:
(Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.)
5. If six DDR memory modules are installed: To activate the Dual Channel Technology and to
make the size of each DDR memory module detected, please use six DDR memory mod-
ules with identical size and type and insert them into the six DIMMs following the sequence
below:
DIMM 1: Double or Single Side
DIMM 2: Single Side
DIMM 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.)
