Gigabyte Computer Hardware AGP 4X 8X 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/8X (1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your

AGP card is AGP 4X/8X (1.5V).

AGP 4X/8X notch

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

G) / 850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/P) / 875P. You might experience system

unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X 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-8IPE775 Series (or any AGP 4X/8X only)

motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card without

switching the jumper to 4X(1.5V) mode in it.

Example 2: SomeATi 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-8IPE775 Series (or any AGP 4X/8X 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) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/P) / 875P based motherboards.

Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from

PCI slots if there is one.

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 theATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove theATX 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 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.

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong

direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction

of the CPU.

3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and heatsink.

4. Please make sure the heatsink is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise

overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.

5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It is

not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications

since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the

frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hardware

specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

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 Intel^®Chipset that supports HT Technology

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

- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Step 1-2: Installation of the Heatsink

Fig.1

Fig. 2

Please apply an even

layer of heatsink paste

on the surface of the

installed CPU.

Place the heatsink atop

the CPU and then

secure each of the four

heatsink clips by

pressing downwards.

(for detailed installation instructions, please refer to

the heat sink installation section of the user manual)

Fig. 3

Please attach the power connector of the heatsink to the CPU fan header

located on the motherboard. Installation is complete.

The heatsink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heatsink paste. If the heatsink

is removed when this occurs, the CPU may become pulled from its socket with the metal lever

still in its locked position and result in damage to the processor pins. To prevent such an

occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat sink paste be used for heat

dissipation or using extreme care when removing the heatsink.

Step 2: Installation of Memory

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is

recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer

power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in

only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

The motherboard supports DDR 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. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

Notch

DDR

1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory

module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM

socket. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets 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) 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 bottleneck 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.

GA-8IPE775 Series Motherboard

GA-8IPE775 Series supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology,

the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double up to 6.4GB/s.

GA-8IPE775 Series includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, DIMM 2

Channel B : DIMM 3, DIMM 4

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due

to the limitation of Intel^®chipset specifications.

1. Only one DDR memory module is installed: The Dual Channel Technology can't operate

when only one DDR memory module is installed.

2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual

Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into

Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel

Technology will not operate.

3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel

Technology will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of

them will not be detected.

4. Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the same

time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same

memory size and type.

We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same color

in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.

The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:

(Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.)

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure

required settings or to activate certain system features.

The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS

SRAM.

When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will

take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1".

When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the

event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either

Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.

Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating

system.

@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but

directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

Chapter 4 Technical Reference

Flash BIOS Method Introduction

Method 1: Dual BIOS /Q-Flash

A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?

Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the Main

BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on 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.

B. How to use Dual BIOS and Q-Flash Utility?

a. After power on the computer, pressing <Del> immediately during POST (Power On Self Test) it will

allow you to enter Award BIOS CMOS SETUP, then press <F8> to enter Flash utility.

Q-Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

With this utility, users only have to stay in the BIOS menu

when they want to update BIOS. Q-Flash^™allows users to

flash BIOS without any utility in DOS or Windows. Using

Q-Flash indicating no more fooling around with any complicated instructions and operating system since

it is in the BIOS menu.

Please note that because updating BIOS has potential risk, please do it with caution!! We

are sorry that Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd is not responsible for damages of system

because of incorrect manipulation of updating BIOS to avoid any claims from end-users.

Before You Begin:

Before you start updating BIOS with the Q-Flash utility, please follow the steps below first.

1. Download the latest BIOS for your motherboard from Gigabyte's website.

2. Extract the BIOS file downloaded and save the BIOS file (the one with model name.Fxx. For

example, 8KNXPU.Fba) to a floppy disk.

3. Reboot your PC and press Del to enter BIOS menu.

The BIOS upgrading guides below are separated into two parts.

If your motherboard has dual-BIOS, please refer to Part One.

If your motherboard has single-BIOS, please refer to Part Two.

Using the Q-Flash utility:

This section tells you how to update BIOS using the Q-Flash utility. As described in the "Before you begin"

section above, you must prepare a floppy disk having the BIOS file for your motherboard and insert it to

your computer. If you have already put the floppy disk into your system and have entered the Q-Flash

utility, please follow the steps below to flash BIOS.

Steps:

1. Press arrow buttons on your keyboard to move the light bar to "Update BIOS from Floppy" item in the

Q-Flash menu and press Enter button.

Later, you will see a box pop up showing the BIOS files you previously downloaded to the floppy disk.

If you want to save the current BIOS for backup purpose, you can begin Step 1 with "Save BIOS

to Floppy" item.

tion of hard disk data. Supporting Microsoft operating systems including

Windows XP/2000/NT/98/Me and DOS, and file systems including

FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS, Xpress Recovery2 is able to back up data

on hard disks on PATA and SATA IDE controllers. After Xpress Recovery2 is executed from CD-ROM

for the first time, it will stay permanent in your hard disk. If you wish to run Xpress Recovery2 later, you

can simply press F9 during system bootup to enter Xpress Recovery2 without the CD-ROM.

System requirements:

1. Intel x86 platforms

2. At least 64M bytes of system memory

3. VESA-supported VGA cards

How to use the Xpress Recovery2

The Main Screen of Xpress Recovery2

1. RESTORE:

Restore the backed-up data to your hard disk.

(This button will not appear if there is no backup

file.)

2. BACKUP:

Back up data from hard disk.

3. REMOVE:

Remove previously-created backup files

to release disk space.

(This button will not appear if there is no backup

file.)

4. REBOOT:

Exit the main screen and restart the system.

Limitations:

1. Not compatible to Xpress Recovery.

2. For the use of Xpress Recovery2, a primary partition must be reserved.

3. Xpress Recovery2 will store the backup file at the end of the hard disk, so free space available

on the hard disk for the backup file must be allocated in advance. (A minimum 4GB is recom-

mended but the actual space is dependent on the size of the data to be backed up)

4. Capable of backing up hard disks installed with Windows operating systems including DOS and

Windows XP/2000/NT/9x/Me.

5. USB hard disks are currently not supported.

6. Does not support RAID/AHCI (class code 0104/0106) hard disks.

7. Capable of backing up and restoring only the first physical hard disk.

Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:

a. PATA IDE primary channel

b. PATA IDE secondary channel

c. SATA IDE channel 1

d. SATA IDE channel 2

e. SATA IDE channel 3

f. SATA IDE channel 4

Precautions:

1. When using hard disks with more than 128G under Windows 2000, be sure to execute the

EnableBigLba.exe program from the driver CD before data backup.

2. It is normal that data backup takes longer time than data restoration.

3. Xpress Recovery2 is compliant with the GPL regulations.

4. On a few motherboards based on Nvidia chipsets, BIOS update is required for Xpress Recovery2

to correctly identify RAID and SATA IDE mode. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer.

5. Xpress Recovery2 supports only PATA hard disks and not SATA hard disks on the following

motherboards (As this is a BIOS-related issue, it can be solved by BIOS update)

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a specific

motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm

Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS. Why?

Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys after

entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.

Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?

Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down and

that's why the light is still on.

Question 3: How do I clear CMOS?

Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the manual. If your

board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear CMOS.

Please refer to the steps below:

Steps:

1. Turn off power.

2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.

3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a metal object to

connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem short for one minute).

4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.

5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.

6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults.

7. Save changes and reboot the system.

Question 4: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS?

Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing BIOS. However,

if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem.

Question 5: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?

Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not, please

change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.

Question 6: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card?

Answer: Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so you don't

need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA.

Question 7: Why cannot I use the IDE 2?

Answer: Please refer to the user manual and check whether you have connected any cable that is not
