Gigabyte GA-8IPE775 Series 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).
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.

GA-8IPE775 Series Motherboard
English
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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Features Summary
Due to chipset (Intel 865PE) architecture limitation, a FSB 800 Pentium 4
processor will support DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 memory module. A FSB 533 Pentium 4
processor will support DDR333 and DDR266 memory module.
(Note 1) Due to 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.xxGB memory
during system startup.
Only for GA-8IPE775 Pro.
