Gigabyte AGP 4X1 5V User Manual

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following  
noticeisfullyunderstoodandpracticed. Ifyour AGP cardhas  
"AGP 4X(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP  
cardisAGP4X(1.5V).  
Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V)cardisnotsupportedbyIntel® 845(GE/PE) /  
845(E/G) / 850(E). You might experience system unable to boot up  
normally. Please insert an AGP 4X(1.5V) 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-8PE667 Ultra2 / GA-8PE667 Pro(or any AGP 4X only)  
motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card without  
switching the jumper to 4X(1.5) 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-8PE667 Ultra2 / GA-8PE667 Pro  
(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 Intel®845(GE/PE) /845(E/G) / 850(E) based motherboards.  
Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS  
label from PCI slots if there is one.

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  
ower 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 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation  
Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , 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 heatsink.  
(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 heat sink user's manual for more detail installation procedure.

DDR Introduction  
Established on the existing SDRAM industry 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 sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing  
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottle-  
neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration  
path from existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100  
DDR memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and  
falling edge of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the  
same DRAM clock frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.664GB per second, DDR memory enables  
system OEMs to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for  
servers, workstations, high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only  
2.5 Volts compared to conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for  
small form factor desktops and notebook applications.

Hardware Installation Process  
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, necessary screws and slot bracket 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 white- drawable 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 slot and press firmly down on the slot  
.Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small white-  
drawable bar.  
AGP Card  
When an AGP 2x (3.3V) card is installed the 2X_DET will light up, indicating a non-supported  
graphics card is inserted. Informing users that system might not boot up normally due to AGP 2x  
(3.3V) is not supported by the chipset.  
Issues To Beware Of When Installing CNR **

@ BIOS Introduction  
Gigabyte announces @ BIOS Windows BIOS live  
update utility  
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—the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS  
update software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the  
other BIOS update software, it’s a Windows utility. With the help of “@BIOS’, BIOS updating is no  
more than a click.  
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, @BIOS help  
you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to  
choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site  
automatically. There are several different choices; you could use “Internet Update” to download  
and update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just  
choose “Save Current BIOS” to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS  
update your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to  
maintain and manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a milestone  
in mainboard industries.  
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you buy a  
Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But  
please remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from  
your Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy TuneTM 4 Introduction  
Gigabyte announces EasyTuneTM 4 Windows based Overclocking utility  
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.  
Overclock" might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever  
tried it? The answer is probably "no". Because  
"Overclock" is thought to be very difficult and in-  
cludes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes  
"Overclock" is even considered as special skills  
found only in some enthusiasts. But as to the ex-  
perts in "Overclock", what's the truth? They may  
spend quite a lot of time and money to study, try  
and use many different hardware or BIOS tools to  
do "Overclock". And even with these technologies,  
they still learn that it's quite a risk because the safety  
and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything is different because of a Win-  
dows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte. This windows based utility  
has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first windows based overclocking  
utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either "Easy Mode" or "Ad-  
vanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who choose "Easy Mode", they just  
need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will  
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If users  
prefer "Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced Mode" to enjoy "sport  
drive" class Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to change the system bus  
/ AGP / Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system performance. It oper-  
ates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional over-  
clocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/  
jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore, this is a safer  
way for "Overclock" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune 4 over  
system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side effect is then  
well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed has been tested in EasyTune 4, user  
can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has already  
turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now  
free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test drive of  
"EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.  
*Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products sup-  
ported list in the web site.  
*Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any  
damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.

Dual BIOS / Q-Flash Introduction  
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.

DualBIOSTM Technology FAQ  
GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your  
system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from  
GIGABYTE, is available on this mainboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate  
this innovation.  
What’s DualBIOSTM?  
On GIGABYTE motherboards w6ith DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For  
simplicity we’ll call one your “Main BIOS” and the other we’ll call your “Backup” BIOS (your “hot  
spare”). If your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next  
system boot. Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a  
failure in flashing your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result  
is the same - the Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.  
GA-8PE667 Ultra2 /Pro Motherboard  
-82-  
I. Q: What is DualBIOSTM technology?  
Answer:  
DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of  
this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOSTM technology  
simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a  
main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS. The mainboard will operate normally with the main  
BIOS, however, if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the backup BIOS  
will be automatically used when the system powered-On. Your PC will operate as before the main  
BIOS was damaged, and is completely transparent to the user.  
II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOSTM technology?  
Answer:  
In today’s systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common reasons are  
virus attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the BIOS (ROM) chip itself.  
1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS. They  
may corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally.  
2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets the system,  
or if the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS  
upgrade.  
3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file, then the  
system may not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC system hang in  
operation or during boot.  
4. A flash ROM’s life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics. The modern  
PC utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If a user changes  
peripherals often, there is a slight chance of damage to the flash ROM.  
With Giga-Byte Technology’s patented DualBIOSTM technology you can reduce the  
possibility of hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to above reasons.  
This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills  
cause by BIOS failures.  
-83-  
Technical Reference  
III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work?  
Answer:  
1. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up  
procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the  
way to PNP detection/assignment.  
2. DualBIOSTM provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during  
boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible.  
In the DualBIOSTM utility, the “Auto Recovery” option will guarantee that if either the main  
BIOS or backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOSTM technology will use the good BIOS  
and correct the wrong BIOS automatically.  
3. DualBIOSTM provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOSTM technology contains a  
built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa  
versa. There is no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.  
4. DualBIOSTM contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash utility will ensure  
that the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the  
correct BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from  
being flashed.  
IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOSTM technology?  
Answer:  
1. Every user should have DualBIOSTM technology due to the advancement of computer  
viruses.  
Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system  
BIOS. Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against  
this type of virus intrusion. The DualBIOSTM technology will provide a state-of-the-art  
solution to protect your PC:  
Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a  
conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for  
repairs.  
Case II.) If the “Auto Recovery” option is enabled in the DualBIOSTM utility, and if a virus  
corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically reboot the system and  
correct the main BIOS.  
Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOSTM  
GA-8PE667 Ultra2 /Pro Motherboard  
-84-  
utility may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS.  
2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the  
backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the  
main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOSTM technology examines  
the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee  
your BIOS operates properly.  
3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard.  
The benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.  
4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOSTM utility,  
the option can be set, “Halt On When BIOS Defects,” to be enabled to halt your system with  
awarning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers  
require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation,  
the “Halt On When BIOS Defects” message may be disabled to avoid system pauses  
during normal booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte’s DualBIOSTM  
technology is the ability to upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4  
Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.
