Installation Guide

Getting Started

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. 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.

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 slo ts 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.

You may use the 4 screws which come wi th the mai nboard to reinforc e the s upport bet ween P4 CPU heat-sink on the mainboard and chassis.

Please note! In order to follow the installation steps below; your chassis must be WILLMETTE/850 board design compatible.

Step1: The 4 new mounting holes on the chassis are for additional support for P4 CPU heat-sink on the mainboard.

Step2: Please remove 4 sets of plastic Push-pins as indicated on Figure2. Remove the white pins first, then black pins as indicated on Figure3.

Installation Guide

Memory Installation

The motherboard has 4 Rambus In-line Memory Module (RIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the RIMM Slot .The RIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notches. Please note; Both RIMM modules inserted on RIMM1 and RIMM2 slots are recommended to have the same size, frequency. If not, the larger sized module will l be automatically re-sized by BIOS to match the smaller sized module. The same rule applies to both RIMM3 and RIMM4 slots.

You can insert two RIMMs or four RIMMs into RIMM slots, but C-RIMM (Continuity RIMM) modules must be inserted into the empty slots.

RIMM

Check RIMM module if it is supported by the M/B.

Insert the RIMM module into the slot.

CRIMM

Push the ejector tab towards the RIMM.

Suspend To RAM Installation

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Wi ndows 98 A CPI s leep mode function. When recovering f rom

STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to r etrieve the last “state ” of the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup

Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run. B. Type (without quotes) C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system (This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

“D:\setup”

in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.

B. Double click the “ Power Management” item.

Page 49

8TM Motherboard

C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons.

D. Restart your computer to complete setup.

Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, just momentarily press the “Power on” button.

A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode?

There are seven ways to “wake up” the system:

1. Press the “Power On” button.

2. Use the “PS/2 Keyboard Power On” function.

3. Use the “PS/2 Mouse Power On” function.

4. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function.

5. Use the “Modem Ring On” function.

6. Use the “Wake On LAN” function.

7. Use the “USB Device Wake Up” function.

Page 50

Suspend to RAM Installat i on

A.5 Notices:

1. In order for STR to function properly, the hardware devices,

such as AGP, Ethernet card, etc., and related drivers must be compliant with ACPI specification.

2. ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 12V Power 1.1 specification (1.0 amps of 5V Stand-By current is minimum requirement, 2.0 amps was preferred).

3. Jumper JP12 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Some chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system is in STR sleep mode.

Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like many other people, you just know what BIOS is, but always hesitate to update it? Because you think updating newest BIOS is

unnecessary and actually you don’t know how to update it.

Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS. The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.

Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it

comes! Now Gigabyte announces @BIOS This is a smart BIOS update software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internet and update it. Not like the other BIOS update software, it’s a Windows utility.

Memory

••••

The category is display-only whi ch is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS.

(Default Value)

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conven tional) 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.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory loca ted in t he 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is memory that can be used for different applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map.
