•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same

capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE’s website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the

memory to prevent hardware damage.

•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.

If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows

theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to

keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.

To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.

•Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.

•@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet

and updates the BIOS.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,

itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing

may result in system malfunction.

•It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other

unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs, try to

cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe»LoadOptimizedDefaults»sectionin

this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.

(Sample BIOS Version: T13)

•When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults.

•The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.

There are two different BIOS modes as follows and you can use the <F2> key to switch between the two modes.

The Classic Setup mode provides detailed BIOS settings. You can press the arrow keys on your keyboard to move

among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter a sub-menu. Or you can use your mouse to select the

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall

systemcongurations.Incorrectlydoingoverclock/overvoltagemayresultindamagetoCPU,chipset,ormemory

and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to

alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings

may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.)
