Whenyou installingAGPcard, pleasemakesurethefollow
ingnotice is fully understood andpracticed. IfyourAGP
cardhas "AGP4Xnotch"(show below), please makesure
your AGPcard is AGP4X(1.5V).
Donotuse AGP2Xcard (3.3V) inthismotherboard. It will
burnand damagethemotherboard duetoIntel®845 chipset
can'tsupportAGP2X(3.3V).
Example1:Diamond VipperV770 golden fingeriscompatiblewith2X/
4Xmode AGPslot.Itcan be switched between AGP2X(3.3V)or4X
(1.5V)mode by adjusting the jumper.The factorydefault forthiscardis
2X(3.3V).Ifyou install thiscardinGA-8IRX(orany AGP4Xonly)
motherboardswithoutswitching the jumperto4Xmode (1.5V),it will
burnthe motherboard.
Example2:ATiRage 128 Pro(PowerColor) &SiS305 golden fingeris
compatiblewith2X/4Xmode AGPslot,butit supports2X(3.3V)only.If
you install thiscardinGA-8IRX(orany AGP4Xonly)motherboards,it
will burnthe motherboard.
Note:Although Gigabyte'sAG32Sgraphics cardisbased on ATiRage
128 Prochip,the design ofAG32SiscompliancewithAGP4X(1.5V)
specification.Therefore,AG32Swill workfine withIntel845 /850 based
motherboards.
Beforeyou install PCIcards, please remove theDualBIOS
label from PCIslots if thereisone.

Computermotherboardsand expansion cardscontainverydelicateIntegrated Circuit(IC)chips.To
protectthemagainstdamage fromstaticelectricity,you shouldfollowsomeprecautionswhenever
you workon yourcomputer.
1.Unplug yourcomputerwhen workingon theinside.
2.Useagrounded wriststrap beforehandling computercomponents.If youdo nothave
one,touchbothofyourhandstoasafelygrounded objectortoametalobject, suchas
the powersupplycase.
3.Holdcomponentsbythe edgesand trynottouchthe ICchips,leadsorconnectors,or
othercomponents.
4.Placecomponentson agrounded antistaticpad oron the bag thatcamewiththe
componentswheneverthe componentsareseparated fromthe system.
5.EnsurethattheATXpowersupplyisswitchedoff beforeyou plug inorremovetheATX
owerconnectoron themotherboard.
If the motherboardhasmounting holes,buttheydon’t line up withthe holeson the baseand
thereareno slotstoattachthe spacers,do notbecomealarmed you can still attachthe spacersto
the mounting holes.Justcutthe bottomportion ofthe spacers(the spacermaybe alittlehardto
cutoff, sobe carefulofyourhands).Inthiswayyou can still attachthe motherboardtothe base
withoutworrying aboutshortcircuits.Sometimesyou mayneed tousethe plasticspringstoisolate
