Gigabyte GA-8VT880 ULTRA Manuale utente

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).

Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by VIA PT880. You might

experiencesystem unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP

4X/8X (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-8VT880 Series motherboards might not function properly, if you

install this card without switching the jumper to 4X(1.5V) 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/4X mode AGP slot, but they

support 2X(3.3V) only. The GA-8VT880 Series 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 VIA PT880 based motherboards.

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 the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

power connector on the motherboard.

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.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.

We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification

because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,

chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific

bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,

Chipsets, SDRAM, Cards….etc.

Before installing the processor , adhere to the following warning:

If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will

cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

Step 1-2 : CPU Cooling Fan Installation

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 cooling fan.

(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 cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation procedure.

2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to

the CPU fan connector, than install

complete.

1. Fasten the cooling fan supporting-base

onto the CPU socket on the

mainboard.

Before installing the CPU Cooling Fan , adhere to the following warning:

- 14 -GA-8VT880 Series Motherboard

English

The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically

detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM

socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary

between sockets.

Step 2: Install memory modules

DDR

Notch

Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:

1.When RAM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.

2.Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches.

Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM

memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into

the DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM

slots to lock the DIMM module.

Reverse the installation steps when you wish

to remove the DIMM module.

- 15 - Hardware Installation Process

English

Below are the explanations:

1. One, or three memory modules are installed: The Dual Channel Technology will not operate

when one, three, memory modules are installed and they will only work as Single Channel.

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

nel Technology will operate when two DDR memory modules are inserted individually into

Channel A and Channel B (DIMM 1 pairs up with DIMM 3, DIMM 2 and DIMM 4). However,

if the two DDR memory modules are inserted into the same Channel (DIMM 1,2 or DIMM 3,

4) then Dual Channel Technology will not operate.

3. Three 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. If four DDR memory modules are installed (two pairs of DDR memory modules with the

same memory size and type): The Dual Channel Technology will operate when a pair of

DDR memory modules are inserted into DIMM1, 3 and another pair into DIMM 2,4.

Dual Channel DDR:

GA-8VT880 Series supports Dual Channel Technology.

When Dual Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of memory bus will be double the original one,

with the fastest speed at 6.4GB/s DDR400.

GA-8VT880 Series includes four DIMM slots, and each Channel has 2 DIMMs as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, 2

Channel B : DIMM 3, 4

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high perfor-

mance 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 bottle-

neck 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.
