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.
2.
3.
Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5.
Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
power connector on the motherboard.

0 Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processors specifications.
We dont recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPUs 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.

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.
The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for
all other errors. (Default value)
The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all
other errors.
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 512 K for systems with 512 K memory
installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory
installed on the motherboard.
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 CPUs memory
address map.

PIC
When you already have IOAPIC enable system and want to upgrade the system please note, since
running an IOAPIC enabled OS (like Windows NT,Windows 2000, Windows XP...) system with none
IOAPIC HW support will cause the system to hang. Following are some situations users might run into:
1.An IOAPIC enabled OS and change the BIOS setting from IOAPIC to PIC, this will cause your
system to hang.
2.An IOAPIC enabled OS and change a processor from IOAPIC supported to none IOAPIC support
(like VIA C3, Cyrix MII, Cyrix III), and some Intel Pentium !!!, CeleronTM Processor(certain lot
number), this will disable the IOAPIC in the BIOS and cause the system to hang.
When above situation happened you will have to reinstall the OS.

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 dont 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 dont 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 @BIOSthe 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, its 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 its a Gigabytes 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, Gigabytes innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard
industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! Its free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabytes motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please
