Chapter 1 Hardware Installation
1-1 Considerations Prior to Installation

Preparing Your Computer

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Thus, prior to installation, please follow the instructions below: 1. Please turn off the computer and unplug its power cord. 2. When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors. 3. It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) cuff when handling electronic components (CPU, RAM). 4. Prior to installing the electronic components, please have these items on top of an antistatic pad or within a electrostatic shielding container. 5. Please verify that the power supply is switched off before unplugging the power supply connector from the motherboard.

Installation of Expansion Cards
You can install your expansion card by following the steps outlined below: 1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the computer. 2. Remove your computer's chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer. 3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard. 4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot. 5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card. 6. Replace your computer's chassis cover. 7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS. 8. Install related driver from the operating system. For example: Installing a PCI Express x16 VGA card: To install the VGA card: Please align the VGA card to the onboard PCI Express x16 slot and press firmly down on the slot. Make sure your VGA card is locked by the small white-drawable bar.
To remove the VGA card on the PCIE_16_1 slot: Please carefully pull out the small white-drawable bar at the end of the PCIE_16 slot when you try to uninstall the VGA card. Or you can also press the latch on the opposite side of the drawable bar as the picture to the left shows.
To remove the VGA card on the PCIE_16_2 slot: When you try to uninstall the VGA card on the PCIE_16_2 slot, you can press the latch as the picture to the left shows to release the card.
The PCIE_12V power connector supplies extra power to the PCI Express x16 slots. Connect this connector depending on your system requirements.

4-1-4 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) To configure SATA hard drive(s), follow the steps below:
(1) Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system. (2) Configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup. (3) Configure RAID set in RAID BIOS.(Note) (4) Make a floppy disk containing the SATA controller driver. (5) Install the SATA controller driver during OS installation.

Before you begin

Please prepare: (a) At least two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID, you may prepare only one hard drive. (b) An empty formatted floppy disk. (c) Windows XP/2000 setup disk. (d) Driver CD for your motherboard.

Confirm Creation [ RAID Disk Drive List ] [ Help ] Setting Stripe Block Select a stripe size which will be used to divide data from/to seperate RAID members. The following are typical values: RAID 0-128KB

]-Switch RAID Block Size

Figure 7
5. Set Array Size: Under the Size item, type the size of the array (Figure 8), and press ENTER.
Confirm Creation [ RAID Disk Drive List ] [ Help ] Setting RAID Capacity Enter the RAID capacity. The default value indicates the maximum capacity determined by the selected members. If less than the maximum capacity is chosen, the remaining capacity would be no used.

(5) Installing SATA controller driver during OS installation (Required for AHCI and RAID Mode)
Now that you have prepared the SATA driver disk and configured BIOS settings, you are ready to install Windows 2000/XP onto your SATA hard drive with the SATA driver. The following is an example of Windows XP installation. Step 1: Restart your system to boot from the Windows 2000/XP Setup disk and press F6 as soon as you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver" message (Figure 18). After pressing F6, there will be a few moments of some files being loaded before you see the next screen.
Figure 18 Step 2: When a screen similar to that below appears, insert the floppy disk containing the SATA driver and press S (Figure 19).

Figure 19 - 89 Appendix

Step 3: When Setup correctly recognizes the driver in the floppy disk, a controller menu similar to Figure 20 below will appear. Use the ARROW keys to select one of the items displayed depending on the operating system to be installed. For example, select GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (Windows 2K/XP/2003) if you wish to install Windows XP (32-Bit). Then press ENTER.
GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (Windows 2K/XP/2003) GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (Windows XP/2003 64bit)
Figure 20 If a message appears saying one or some file(s) cannot be found, please check the floppy disk or copy the correct SATA driver again from the motherboard driver CD. Step 4: When the next screen (Figure 21) appears, press ENTER to continue the SATA driver installation from the floppy disk.
Windows Setup Setup will load support for the following mass storage device(s): GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller (Windows 2K/XP/2003) * To specify additional SCSI adapters, CD-ROM drives, or special disk controllers for use with Windows, including those for which you have a device support disk from a mass storage device manufacturer, press S. * If you do not have any device support disks from a mass storage device manufacturer, or do not want to specify additional mass storage devices for use with Windows, press ENTER.

Figure 21

Step 5: After the SATA controller driver installation is completed, you can proceed with the Windows XP installation.

4-1-5 2- / 4- / 6- / 8- Channel Audio Function Introduction
The default speaker settings for the 6 audio jacks are as shown in the picture to the right. The jack retasking capability supported by HD Audio allows users to change the function for each audio jack by the audio software provided. For example, if a rear speaker is plugged into the center/subwoofer speaker out jack, you can change the center/ subwoofer speaker out jack to fucntion as a rear speaker out jack via the audio software.Please follow the steps to install the function. (Following pictures are in Windows XP)
Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out Rear Speaker Out
Line In Line Out (Front Speaker Out) Mic In
Note that if you wish to connect a microphone, you MUST connect it to the default Mic In jack for the microphone to work correctly. HD Audio With multiple built-in high quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that support audio output at up to 192 kHz/24-bit quality and multi-streaming applications, HD Audio is able to handle multiple audio streams (in and out) simultaneously. Multi-channel audio experiences have become a reality so you can, for instance, listen to MP3 music, have an Internet chat, make a telephone call over the Internet, and etc. all at the same time.
Stereo Speakers Connection and Settings:
We recommend that you use the speaker with amplifier to acquire the best sound effect if the stereo output is applied.
STEP 1 : After installation of the audio driver, you should find an Audio Manager icon in your system tray (you can also find the icon in Control Panel). Doubleclick the icon to open the Audio Control Panel.

- 92 -

STEP 2: In the Audio Control Panel, click the Audio I/O tab. In the upper left list, click 2CH Speaker.
STEP 3: After a speaker or headphone is plugged into the rear Line Out jack, a small window will pop up and ask you what type of equipment is connected. Choose Headphone or Line Out depending on the device connected and click OK. The 2-channel audio setup is completed.

4 Channel Audio Setup

STEP 2: In the Audio Control Panel, click the Audio I/O tab. In the upper left list, click 4CH Speaker.

- 93 -

STEP 3: After plugging in 4-channel speakers to the rear speaker jacks, a small window will pop up and ask you what type of equipment is connected. Choose a device depending on the type of speaker connected (4-channel audio consists of Front Speaker Out (Line Out) and Rear Speaker Out) and then click OK. The 4-channel audio setup is completed.
