2. Hardware Installation
The following must be supported to allow the use of Hyper-Threading Technology:
2.1. Installation of a LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU and Fan Sink
2.1.1. Installation of a LGA775 CPU
1. Please make sure that the CPU used is supported by your motherboard.
2. Please be aware of the placement position of the CPU. If the CPU does not
insert properly, do not apply force but check the placement position.
3. Please make sure that an even layer of heat sink paste is added between the
CPU and the fan sink.
4. Please do not turn on the power prior to installing the fan sink. Doing so can
result in overheating and lead to permanent damage to the CPU.
5. Please follow the CPU specifications when setting the frequency. It is not
recommended that system speed settings exceed that of hardware
specifications. If you wish to set your system speed to exceed the recom
mended specifications, please check your hardware specifications eg: CPU,
graphics card, memory, hard drive
- an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with HT
- a motherboard supporting HT
- HT selection feature within BIOS
- an operating system supporting HT
1. Push the socket lever arm down and away from the CPU
socket and raise it up completely.
10
2. Open the load plate and gently remove the plastic cover.
3. Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers (do not
touch the bottom of the CPU when holding it).
Align notchs on the two sides of the CPU with the small
sockets of the CPU socket and place the CPU straight
down.
4. Make sure the CPU is properly installed and then close
the load plate. Lower the socket lever and engage it to
lock the CPU in place.
2.1.2. Installation of Fan Sink
1. Apply a thin coating of thermal paste to complete cover
the surface of the CPU.
2. Align the four fasteners of the fan sink with the four holes
around the CPU socket. Push down each fastener and
you should hear a "click" when the fastener is attached.
Make sure the four fasteners are attached securely.
3. Connect the 4-wire power cable of the fan sink to the
CPU_FAN header on the motherboard to complete the
installation.
English
Prior to installation of the fan sink, check the direction of
each fastener by the arrow engraved on fastener top.
Before attaching the fasteners, turn each fastener
clockwise. To uninstall the fan sink, release each fastener
by rotating the fastener along the direction of the arrows
and pull them up.
11
English
2.2. Installation of Memory
The motherboard supports DIMM memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect
memory capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be
inserted only in one direction.
1. Before installing or removing memory, please make sure that the computer power
is turned off to prevent hardware damage.
2. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. The memory can be in
stalled only when facing the correct position. If you cannot insert the module,
please switch directions.
4. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be
used.
1. Unfasten the clips on each end of the memory slots.
Correctly align the memory module in the slot and
push downwards..
2. Once the memory module is correctly inserted, the
clips will automatically refasten. If the memory
module is positioned in the wrong direction, it will
not insert. If this occurs, please switch directions.
12
2.3. Installation of the Graphics Card
1. Before installing the graphics card, please carefully read the accompanying user manual.
As well, make sure the computer power is turned off.
2. If you install a PCI Express x 16 card and wish to remove it, please gently press the latch
to release the card as the picture below shows before removal.
To install or remove an AGP graphics card,
first pull out the white GEAR knob before
insertion or removal. Releasing the GEAR
knob will hold the graphics card firmly in
place.
2.4. What is Axper's G.E.A.R.?
The revolutionary and innovative G.E.A.R. (GIGABYTE Enhance AGP Riser) interface provides an additional interface for traditional AGP Graphics card on Intel chipset based PCI
Express solution motherboard. It supports most of the AGP Graphics card available in the
market from AGP 4X to AGP 8X graphics cards.
English
Note the following Information Before Use
1) Remove the sticker on the G.E.A.R. slot before inserting your AGP graphics card.
2) G.E.A.R. interface is designed to provide a temporary AGP solution before the mass
availability of PCI Express graphics card. It is suggested to use PCI Express X 16
interface graphics card to avoid the damage of your AGP graphics card.
3) G.E.A.R. interface is created through PCI interface signal and voltage switching to AGP
interface, due to this technical specification difference, it might cause AGP graphics
card life-span shortens.
4) Please view the graphics cards support list currently validated by Axper engineers.
2.4.1. Graphics Card Support List
(The items below are all supported under the Windows XP operating system.
When using an add-on graphics card, please first delete the onboard graphics
driver before installing the driver for the add-on graphics card.)

3. BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings
that is needed for system initiation within the CMOS. The CMOS SETUP utility allows the user
to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate certain features.
The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power to
the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On
Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please
press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.
When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS
onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to
update to a new BIOS, the "BIOSNow!" can be used.
The user can select "BIOSNow!" as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS
without entering the operating system.
3.1. Setup Screen Features (BIOS version:F1)

3.9. Load Fail-Safe Defaults
ø Use this option to reset your BIOS settings to the system defaults. You should only use
this if you are encountering serious problems.
Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load Fail-Safe defaults. Once this is loaded, your
system may be slowed since this uses a minimal performance setting to allow stable
system running.
3.10. Load Optimized Defaults
ø Like the Fail-Safe mode above, this option loads the BIOS default settings, but runs the
system at optimal performance.
Please select <Y> and <Enter> to load optimized defaults.
3.11. Set User Password
ø Use this to set the password that is needed to either enter into the BIOS or to boot the
system. Entering in a blank field will disable the password.
Please input an 8 character long password and then select Enter. You will be required
to re-enter the password for confirmation. If you wish to remove the need for password
entry, leave the entry blank and then select Enter. BIOS will then display "PASSWORD
DISABLED". Once you have completed the password setting, you will need to go to
"Advanced BIOS Features" and select "Password Check" for setup of password check.
3.12. Save & Exit Setup
ø To save any changes you made to the BIOS you must choose this option. The
system will automatically exit setup and perform a system restart. Pushing <F10>
will have the same effect.
Push <Y> and <Enter> to save and exit setup. If you do not wish to save, select <N> or
<Esc> to return to the main menu.
English
3.13. Exit Without Saving
ø Use this option instead of the one above if you wish to exit the BIOS without saving the
changes you have made. Pushing <ESC> will have the same effect.
Push <Y> and <Enter> to exit setup. You can return to the main menu by pushing <N>or
<Esc>.
