(This instruction is only for Intel boxed fan) Fig. 3 Place the heatsink atop the CPU and make sure the push pins aim to the pin hole on the motherboard.Pressing down the push pins diagonally. Fig. 4 Please make sure the Male and Female push pin are joined closely. (for detailed installation instructions, please refer to the heatsink installation section of the user manual) Fig. 5 Please check the back of motherboard after installing. If the push pin is inserted as the picture, the installation is complete. Fig. 6 Finally, please attach the power connector of the heatsink to the CPU fan header located on the motherboard. The heatsink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heatsink paste.To prevent such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat sink paste be used for heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the heatsink. - 13 - Hardware Installation English 1-4 Installation of Memory Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions: 1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used. 2 . Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer power is switched off to prevent hardware damage. 3 . Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction. The motherboard supports DDR memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot. notch DDR memory module Fig.1 The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. Fig. 1 Fig.2 Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to make them short for one minute). 3. Re-install the battery. 4. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. - 25 - Hardware Installation English GA-8I865GME-775 Motherboard - 26 - Chapter 2 BIOS Setup BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1". When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either GIGABYTE's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used. Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system. @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

Floppy 3 Mode Support (for Japan Area) Disabled Drive A Drive B Both Normal Floppy Drive. (Default value) Drive A is 3 mode Floppy Drive. Drive B is 3 mode Floppy Drive. Drive A & B are 3 mode Floppy Drives. Halt on The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up. No Errors The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you will be prompted. All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped. All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other errors. (Default value) All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors. All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop for all other errors. Memory The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K or more memory installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory address map. Total Memory This item displays the memory size that used. - 31 BIOS Setup English 2-2 Advanced BIOS Features CMOS Setup Utility-Copyright (C) 1984-2006 Award Software Advanced BIOS Features [Press Enter] [Floppy] [Hard Disk] [CDROM] [Setup] [Enabled] [Disabled] [Enabled] [Enabled] [Enabled] [Enabled] [PCI] [16MB] Item Help Menu Level Select Hard Disk Boot Device Priority Hard Disk Boot Priority First Boot Device Second Boot Device Third Boot Device Password Check # CPU Hyper-Threading Limit CPUID Max. to 3 No-Execute Memory Protect (Note) CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) (Note) CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2) (Note) CPU EIST Function (Note) Init Display First On-Chip Frame Buffer Size : Move Enter: Select F5: Previous Values +/-/PU/PD: Value F6: Fail-Safe Default F10: Save ESC: Exit F1: General Help F7: Optimized Defaults Hard Disk Boot Priority Select boot sequence for onboard(or add-on cards) SCSI, RAID, etc. Use < > or < > to select a device, then press<+> to move it up, or <-> to move it down the list.
