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 memory support list.)  
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  
direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.  
1-4-1 Dual Channel Memory Configuration  
This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After  
the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the  
memory. Enabling Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.  
The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory  
sockets as following:  
Channel 0: DDR3_1, DDR3_3  
Channel 1: DDR3_2, DDR3_4

1/2) ATX_12V_2X4/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector)  
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the  
components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the  
power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses  
a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.  
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not  
connected, the computer will not start.  
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand  
high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not  
provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.  
The power connectors are compatible with power supplies with 2x2 12V and 2x10 power  
connectors. When using a power supply providing a 2x4 12V and a 2x12 power connector,  
remove the protective covers from the 12V power connector and the main power connector on  
the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cables into pins under the protective covers  
when using a power supply providing a 2x2 12V and a 2x10 power connector.

3/4/5) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/PWR_FAN (Fan Headers)  
The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 3-pin (SYS_FAN2) and a 4-pin  
(SYS_FAN1) system fan headers, and a 3-pin power fan header (PWR_FAN). Most fan headers  
possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the  
correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU  
fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum  
heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup  
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the  
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system  
startup, saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup  
program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system  
features. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power  
to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS.  
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned  
on. To see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menu  
of the BIOS Setup program.  
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.  
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the  
operating system.  
@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the  
Internet and updates the BIOS.  
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 4, "BIOS Update Utilities."  
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the  
current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS,  
do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.  
BIOS will emit a beep code during the POST. Refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting," for the  
beep codes description.  
It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent  
system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result  
in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board  
to default values. (Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introduc-  
tions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is  
dependent on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage  
may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these  
components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the  
default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately alter  
ing the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values  
and reset the board to default values.)  
When the System Voltage Optimized item blinks in red, it is recommended that you set  
the System Voltage Control item to Auto to optimize the system voltage settings.

Displays transmission speed  
Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.  
Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate  
at a normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is  
activated.  
When a Cable Problem Occurs...  
If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and  
thenlength shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.  
Example: Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m  
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2.  
Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will  
show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.

Chapter 4 Unique Features  
4-1 Xpress Recovery2  
Xpress Recovery2 is a utility that allows you to quickly compress and  
back up your system data and perform restoration of it. Supporting  
NTFS, FAT32, and FAT16 file systems, Xpress Recovery2 can back  
up data on PATA and SATA hard drives and restore it.  
Before You Begin:  
Xpress Recovery2 will check the first physical hard drive* for the operating system. Xpress  
Recovery2 can only back up/restore the first physical hard drive that has the operating system  
installed.  
As Xpress Recovery2 will save the backup file at the end of the hard drive, make sure to leave  
enough unallocated space in advanced (10 GB or more is recommended; actual size require-  
ments vary, depending on the amount of data).  
It is recommended to back up your system soon after the operating system and drivers are  
installed.  
The amount of data and hard drive access speed may affect the speed at which the data is backed  
up/restored.  
It takes longer to back up a hard drive than to restore it.  
System Requirements:  
At least 512 MB of system memory  
VESA compatible graphics card  
Windows® XP with SP1 or later, Windows® Vista  
Xpress Recovery and Xpress Recovery2 are different utilities. For example, a backup file created with Xpress  
Recovery cannot be restored using Xpress Recovery2.  
USB hard drives are not supported.  
Hard drives in RAID/AHCI mode are not supported.  
Installation and Configuration  
Turn on your system to boot from the Windows Vista setup disk.  
A. Installing Windows Vista and Partitioning the Hard Drive  
Step 1:  
Step 2:  
Click Drive options.  
Click New.  
"*" Xpress Recovery2 checks the first physical hard drive in the following sequence: The first PATA IDE connector,  
the second PATA IDE connector, the first SATA connector, the second SATA connector and so forth. For  
example, when hard drives are attached to the first IDE and the first SATA connectors, the hard drive on the first  
IDE connector is the first physical drive. When hard drives are attached to the first and second SATAconnectors,  
the hard drive on the first SATA connector is the first physical drive.

depending on the amount of data) and begin the  
installation of the operating system.  
After the operating system is installed, right-  
click the Computer icon on your desktop  
and select Manage. Go to Disk Management  
to check disk allocation.  
Step 5:  
Xpress Recovery2 will save the backup file to the  
unallocated space (black stripe along the top). Please  
note that if there is no enough unallocated space, Xpress  
Recovery2 cannot save the backup file.  
B. Accessing Xpress Recovery2  
1. Boot from the motherboard driver disk to access Xpress Recovery2 for the first time. When you see  
the following message: Press any key to startup Xpress Recovery2, press  
any key to enter Xpress Recovery2.  
2. After you use the backup function in Xpress Recovery2 for the first time, Xpress Recovery2 will stay  
permanent in your hard drive. If you wish to enter Xpress Recovery2 later, simply press <F9> during  
the POST.  
C. Using the Backup Function in Xpress Recovery2  
Xpress Recovery2 will automatically create a  
new partition to store the backup image file.  
Step 1:  
Step 2:  
Select BACKUP to start backing up your hard  
drive data.  
When finished, go to Disk Management to  
check disk allocation.

4-2 BIOS Update Utilities  
GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-FlashTM and @BIOSTM. GIGABYTE  
Q-Flash and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-  
TM  
DOS mode. Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS design, which enhances protection  
for the safety and stability of your computer by adding one more physical BIOS chip.  
TM  
What is DualBIOS ?  
Motherboards that support DualBIOS have two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS  
and a backup BIOS. Normally, the system works on the main BIOS.  
However, if the main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the backup BIOS will take over on the next system  
boot and copy the BIOS file to the main BIOS to ensure normal system operation. For the sake of  
system safety, users cannot update the backup BIOS manually.  
What is Q-FlashTM?  
With Q-Flash you can update the system BIOS without having to enter  
operating systems like MS-DOS or Window first. Embedded in the BIOS, the  
Q-Flash tool frees you from the hassles of going through complicated BIOS flashing process.  
TM  
What is @BIOS ?  
@BIOS allows you to update the system BIOS while in the Windows  
environment. @BIOS will download the latest BIOS file from the nearest  
@BIOS server site and update the BIOS.  
4-2-1 Updating the BIOS with the Q-Flash Utility  
A. Before You Begin:  
1. From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your  
motherboard model.  
2. Extract the file and save the new BIOS file (e.g. MA77TUD3.F1) to your floppy disk, USB flash  
drive, or hard drive. Note: The USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file system.  
3. Restart the system. During the POST, press the <End> key to enter Q-Flash. Note: You can  
access Q-Flash by either pressing the <End> key during the POST or pressing the <F8> key in  
BIOS Setup. However, if the BIOS update file is saved to a hard drive in RAID/AHCI mode or a hard  
drive attached to an independent IDE/SATA controller, use the <End> key during the POST to  
access Q-Flash.

5-1-2 Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver Diskette for Windows XP  
(Required for AHCI and RAID Mode)  
To successfully install operating system onto SATA hard drive(s) that is/are configured to RAID/AHCI  
mode, you need to install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation. Without the driver, the  
hard drive may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, copy the driver for  
the SATA controller from the motherboard driver disk to a floppy disk. For installing Windows Vista, you  
may directly load the SATA RAID driver from the motherboard driver disk during the OS installation  
process. For more details, refer to the next section, "5-1-3." See the instructions below about how to  
copy the driver in MS-DOS mode (Note). Prepare a startup disk that has CD-ROM support and one blank  
formatted floppy disks.  
Step 1: Insert the prepared startup disk and motherboard driver disk in your system. Boot from the startup  
disk. Once at the A:\> prompt, change to your optical drive (example: D:\>). At the D:\> prompt, type the  
following two commands. Press <Enter> after each command (Figure 1):  
cd bootdrv  
menu  
Step 2: When the controller menu (Figure 2) appears, remove the startup disk and insert the blank  
formatted disk. Select the controller driver by pressing the corresponding letter from the menu. For  
example, from the menu in Figure 2, to install Windows XP to your RAID/AHCI hard drives, select 3)  
SB700/710/750 SATA Driver for XP and press <Enter>. Your system will then automatically copy this  
driver file to the floppy disk. Press any key to exit when finished.  
Figure 1  
Figure 2  
(Note) For users without a startup disk:  
Use an alternative system and insert the motherboard driver disk. From your optical drive  
folder, double click the MENU.exe file in the BootDrv folder (Figure 3). A command prompt  
window will open similar to that in Figure 2.
