Step1-1. First, check the processor pins to see that none are bent. Move the socket lever to the unlocked position as shown in Figure 1.(90o to the plane of the motherboard) prior to inserting the processor. The pin 1 location is designated on the processor by a copper triangle that matches up to a triangle on the socket as shown in Figure 2. Align the processor to the socket and gently lower it into place. Do not force the processor into the socket. Figure 1. Pull the lever to the 90-degree directly.

Socket Lever

Figure 2. Pin 1 location on the Socket and Processor. Move the socket lever to the locked position while holding pressure on the center of the processor.

Step1-2. When the processor is installed in the socket, apply thermal grease to the processor(as shown in Figure 3) prior to installing the heatsink. Phase change materials develop strong adhesive forces between the heatsink and processor. Removing the heatsink under such conditions can cause the processor to be removed from the socket without moving the socket lever to the unlocked position and then damage the processor pins or socket contacts. ** We recommend you to apply the therm al tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan m ight 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 dam age the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of therm al paste, orremove the cooling fan with extreme caution.) Figure 3. Application of thermal grease to the processor.
Step 1-3.Once the thermal grease has been applied to the processor, the heatsink can be attached to the processor. Align the heatsink assembly with the support frame m ating with the backer plate standoffs as shown in Figure 4 & 5. Figure 4 & 5. Alignm ent of heatsink assembly with standoffs.
Step 1-4. Connect the fan power wires to the header on the m otherboard as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Connecting the fan power wires.

Step 2: Install Memory Modules
Before installing the memory modules, 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 notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Please connect the floppy drive ribbon cables to FDD. It supports 360K, 1.2M, 720K, 1.44M and 2.88M bytes floppy disk types. The red stripe of the ribbon cable must be the sam e side with the Pin1.

Flash BIOS Method Introduction
Method 1 : Q-Flash Utility
Q-Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM. With this utility, users only have to stay in the BIOS menu when they want to update BIOS. Q-Flash allows users to flash BIOS without any utility in DOS or Windows. Using QTM Flash indicating no more fooling around with any complicated instructions and operating system since it is in the BIOS menu.
Please note that because updating BIOS has potential risk, please do it with caution!! We are sorry that Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd is not responsible for damages of system because of incorrect manipulation of updating BIOS to avoid any claims from end-users.

Before You Begin:

Before you start updating BIOS with the Q-Flash utility, please follow the steps below first.
1. Download the latest BIOS for your motherboard from Gigabyte's website. 2. Extract the BIOS file downloaded and save the BIOS file (the one with model name.Fxx. For example, 8KNXPU.Fba) to a floppy disk. 3. Reboot your PC and press Del to enter BIOS menu. The BIOS upgrading guides below are separated into two parts. If your motherboard has dual-BIOS, please refer to Part One. If your motherboard has single-BIOS, please refer to Part Two.

- 54 -

Part One: Updating BIOS with Q-Flash Utility on Dual BIOS Motherboards. Some of Gigabyte motherboards are equipped with dual BIOS. In the BIOS menu of the motherboards supporting Q-Flash and Dual BIOS, the Q-Flash utility and Dual BIOS utility are combined in the same screen. This section only deals with how to use Q-Flash utility. In the following sections, we take GA-8KNXP Ultra as the example to guide you how to flash BIOS from an older version to the latest version. For example, from Fa3 to Fba.
Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG, An Energy Star Ally Copyright (C) 1984-2003, Award Software, Inc.
The BIOS file is Fa3 before updating

Xpress Recovery Introduction
What is Xpress Recovery ?
Xpress Recovery is a utility used to back up and restore an OS partition. If the hard drive is not working properly, the user can restore the drive to its original state. 1. Supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS formats 2. Must be connected to the IDE1 Master 3. Allows installation of only one OS 4. Must be used with an IDE hard disk supporting HPA 5. The first partition must be set as the boot partition. When the boot partition is backed up, please do not alter its size. 6. Xpress Recovery is recommended when using Ghost to return boot manager to NTFS format.

For USB2.0 driver support under Windows XP operating system, please use Windows Service Pack. After install Windows Service Pack, it will show a question mark "?" in "Universal Serial Bus controller" under "Device Manager". Please remove the question mark and restart the system (System will auto-detect the right USB2.0 driver).

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a specific motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS. Why? Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options. Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down? Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down and that's why the light is still on. Question 3: Why cannot I use all functions in EasyTune 4? Answer: The availability of the listed functions in EasyTune 4 depends on the MB chipset. If the chipset doesn't support certain functions in EasyTune 4, these functions will be locked automatically and you will not be able to use them. Question 4: Why do I fail to install RAID and ATA drivers under Win 2000 and XP on boards that support RAID function after I connect the boot HDD to IDE3 or IDE4 ? Answer: First of all, you need to save some files in the CD-ROM to a floppy disk before installing drivers. You also need to go through some rather different steps in the installation process. Therefore, we suggest that you refer to the installation steps in the RAID manual at our website. (Please download it at http://tw.giga-byte.com/support/user_pdf/raid_manual.pdf) Question 5: How do I clear CMOS? Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the manual. If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below: Steps: 1. Turn off power. 2. Disconnect the power cord from MB. 3. 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). 4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder. 5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power. 6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults. 7. Save changes and reboot the system. Question 6: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS? Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing BIOS. However, if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem. Question 7: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume? Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not, please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.
