WARNING!

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

othercomponents.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

componentswheneverthecomponentsareseparatedfromthesystem.

5. Ensure that theATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove theATX

powerconnectoronthemotherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

Ifthemotherboardhasmountingholes,buttheydon’tlineupwiththeholesonthebaseandthereare

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

ofyourhands). Inthiswayyoucanstillattachthemotherboardtothebasewithoutworryingaboutshort

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

boardorcauseboardmalfunctioning.

ꢁ Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications.

We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification

because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,

chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific

bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,

Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards….etc.

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a

highperformanceandcost-effectivesolutionthatallowseasyadoptionformemoryvendors, OEMsand

systemintegrators.

DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAMinfrastructure, yetmakesawesomeadvancesinsolvingthesystemperformancebottleneckby

doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from

existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR

memory(DDR266)doublesthedataratethroughreadingandwritingatboththerisingandfallingedgeof

the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock

frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build

high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, high-

end PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to

conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops

andnotebookapplications.

BIOS Setup

ꢁBoot Sector Virus Protection

If it is set to enable, the category will flash on the screen when there is any attempt to write to the boot

sectororpartitiontableoftheharddiskdrive. Thesystemwillhaltandthefollowingerrormessagewill

appear in the mean time. You can run anti-virus program to locate the problem.

ꢀEnabled

Activate automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to

appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table

ꢀDisabled

No warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector

or hard disk partition table (Default Value)

ꢁ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 512 K for systems with 512 K memory

installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory

installedonthemotherboard.

OtherMemory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is

memorythatcanbeusedfordifferentapplications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free for

application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM.

ExtendedMemory

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

addressmap.

Dual BIOS Introduction

A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?

Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the Main

BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the

Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the

system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has

happened in your BIOS.

DualBIOS^TMTechnology FAQ

GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your

system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE,

is available on this motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this

innovation.

What’s DualBIOS ?

On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For

simplicity we’ll call one your “Main BIOS” and the other we’ll call your “Backup” BIOS (your “hot

spare”). If your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next

system boot. Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a

failure in flashing your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result is

the same - the Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automatically.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Technical Reference

I. Q: What is DualBIOS technology?

Answer:

DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-ByteTechnology. The concept of this

technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS technology simply

means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS,

and the other is a backup BIOS. The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS, however,

if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the backup BIOS will be automatically

used when the system powered-On. Your PC will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged,

andiscompletelytransparenttotheuser.

II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOS technology?

Answer:

In today’s systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common reasons are virus

attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the BIOS (ROM) chip itself.

1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS. They may

corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally.

2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets the system, or if

the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade.

3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file, then the system

may not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC system hang in operation or

duringboot.

4. A flash ROM’s life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics. The modern PC

utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If a user changes peripherals

often, there is a slight chance of damage to the flash ROM.

With Giga-Byte Technology’s patented DualBIOS technology you can reduce the

possibility of hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to above reasons.

This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause

by BIOS failures.

GA-7VTXE/GA-7VTXH Motherboard

III. Q: How does DualBIOS technology work?

Answer:

1. DualBIOS technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It

protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP

detection/assignment.

2. DualBIOS provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during

boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible. In

the DualBIOS utility, the “Auto Recovery” option will guarantee that if either the main

BIOS or backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOS technology will use the good BIOS

and correct the wrong BIOS automatically.

3. DualBIOS provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOS technology contains a

built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa

versa. There is no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.

4. DualBIOS contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash utility will ensure that

the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the correct

BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from being

flashed.

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOS technology?

Answer:

1. Every user should have DualBIOS technology due to the advancement of computer

viruses.

Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system

BIOS. Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against this

type of virus intrusion. The DualBIOS technology will provide a state-of-the-art solution to

protect your PC:

Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a

conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for repairs.

Case II.) If the “Auto Recovery” option is enabled in the DualBIOS utility, and if a virus

corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically reboot the system and

correct the main BIOS.

Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOS utility

may be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Technical Reference

2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOS detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the

backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the

main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS technology examines

the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee

your BIOS operates properly.

3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The

benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.

4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOS utility,

the option can be set, “Halt On When BIOS Defects,” to be enabled to halt your system with

awarning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers

requireconstantoperationtoguaranteeserviceshavenotbeeninterrupted. Inthissituation,

the “HaltOn When BIOS Defects” message may be disabled to avoid system pauses

during normal booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte’s DualBIOS

technology is the ability to upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4

Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.

@ BIOS Introduction

Gigabyte announces @ BIOS

Windows BIOS live update utility

Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like

many other people, you just know what BIOS is,

but always hesitate to update it? Because you think

updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually

you don’t know how to update it.

Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time

to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and

then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS.

The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source

code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.

Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your

time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte

announces @BIOS—the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update

software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS

update software, it’s a Windows utility. With the help of “@BIOS’, BIOS updating is no more than a

click.

Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, @BIOS help

you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to

choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site

automatically. There are several different choices; you could use “Internet Update” to download and

update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose

“Save Current BIOS” to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update

your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and

manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard

industries.

For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you buy a

Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please

remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your

Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy TuneIII^TMIntroduction

Gigabyte announces EasyTuneIII

Windows overdrive utility

“Overdrive” might be one of the most

common issues in computer field. But have many

users ever tried it? The answer is probably “no”.

Because“overdrive”isthoughttobeverydifficultand

includesalotoftechnicalknow-how,sometimes“over-

drive” is even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.

But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lotof time and money

to study, try and use many different hardware and software toolsto do “overdrive”. And even with these

technologies, theystilllearnthatit’squiteariskbecausethesafetyandstabilityofan“overdrive“system

is unknown.

Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility EasyTuneIII—announced by

Gigabyte. This utility has totally changed the gaming rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility

suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode”

to run “overdrive” at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click

“Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU

speedautomaticallywiththeresultbeingshowninthecontrolpanel. Ifsomeoneprefersto“overdrive”by

oneself, there is also another choice. Click “Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking.

In “AdvancedMode”, one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate system

performance. Andnomatterwhichmainboardisused, ifit’saGigabyte’sproduct*, EasyTuneIIIhelpsto

perform the best of system.

Besides,differentfromothertraditionalover-clockingmethods,EasyTuneIIIdoesn’trequireusersto

change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at

only one click. Therefore, this is a safer way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or

hardware. If user runs EasyTuneIII over system’s limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the

computeragainandthesideeffectisthenwellcontrolled. Moreover, ifonewell-performedsystemspeed

been tested in EasyTuneIII, user can “Save” this bus speed and “Load” it in next time. Obviously,

Gigabyte EasyTuneIII has already turned the “overdrive” technology toward to a newer generation.

This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached driver CD. Users

may make a test drive of “EasyTuneIII” to find out more amazing features by themselves.
