1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can

become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read

the user's manual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard,

make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic com-

ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

•

Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power sup-

ply has been turned off.

• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hard-

ware components are connected.

• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface

• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to sys-

tem components as well as physical harm to the user.

• If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.

- 9 - Hardware Installation

(Note 1) Based on standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and

therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 GB of memory size

will instead be shown as 3.xx GB during system startup.

(Note2) Tocongure7.1-channelaudio,youneedconnectwiththeportofHDAudiostandardviafront

panel and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

(Note 3) Whether the CPU fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU you install.

(Note 4) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

(Note 5) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install the Intel® Core™2 Extreme/Core™2 Quad/

Core™2 Duo/Pentium Dual-Core/Celeron Dual-Core/Celeron 400 Series CPU to enable support for

Easy Energy Saver

1-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing

the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

• Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may

locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

• Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

• Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and dam-

age of the CPU may occur.

• SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecications.Itisnotrecommended

thatthesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecicationssinceitdoesnotmeetthe

standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard

specications,pleasedosoaccordingtoyourhardwarespecicationsincludingtheCPU,graph-

ics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-4 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the

same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing

the memory to prevent hardware damage.

•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direc-

tion. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1-4-1 Dual Channel Memory Conguration

This motherboard provides two DDR2 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology.

The two DDR2 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as

following:

Channel 0: DDRII1

Channel 1: DDRII2

DDRII1

DDRII2

Due to chipset limitation, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR2 memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of

the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

1-5 Installing an Expansion Card

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card:

•Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came

with your expansion card.

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing

an expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
