Gigabyte GA-8VM533 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 (1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X (1.5V).

AGP 4X notch

Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by GA-8VM533. You might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X 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-8VM533 (or any AGP 4X 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-8VM533 (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 GA-8VM533 based motherboards.

WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protectthem 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 supplycase.

3.Hold components by the edges and trynot touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or othercomponents.

4.Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag thatcame 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 theATX power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

Ifthemotherboard has mounting holes,buttheydon’t lineup with the holeson the base andthere are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cutthe bottom portion ofthe spacers (the spacer maybe a little hard to cut off, so be careful ofyour hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you mayneed 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 anyprinted circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise itmay damage the boardor cause boardmalfunctioning.

"*" HT functionality requirement content :

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all of the following platform components:

- CPU: An Intel® Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology

-Chipset: An VIA Chipset that supports HT Technology

-BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

-OS: An operation system that has optim izations for HT Technology

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, Memory, Cards… etc.

Hardware Installation Process

English

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.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 2 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.

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIM M memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots 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) memoryis a high performance and cost-effective solution thatallows easyadoption for memory vendors, OEMs, andsystem 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 memoryand complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is the bestchoice for building high performance and low latencyDRAM subsystem that are suitable for servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.

Step 3: Install expansion cards

1.Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer.

2.Remove your computer's chassis cover, screws and slotbracket from the computer.

3.Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.

4.Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.

5.Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.

6.Replace your computer's chassis cover.

7.Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.

8.Install related driver from the operating system.

Please carefully pull out the small whitedrawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you try to install/ Uninstall the AGP card.

Please align the AGP card to the onboard AGP Card AGP slot and press firmly down on the slot .

Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small whitedrawable bar.
