Gigabyte GA-7N400V-L User manual

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice

is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X

(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP

4X/8X.

Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by nVIDIA

®

nForce

™

2 IGP. You

might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please

insert an AGP Pro 4X/8X card.

Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X

mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X(1.5V) mode

by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The

GA-7N400V Pro2 / GA-7N400V / GA-7N400V-L (or any AGP 4X/8X only)

motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card without

switching the jumper to 4X(1.5V) mode in it.

Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power Color",

the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their golden finger is

compatible with 2X(3.3V) / 4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support

2X(3.3V) only. The GA-7N400V Pro2 / GA-7N400V / GA-7N400V-L (or any

AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not function properly, If you install this

card in it.

Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage

128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X(1.5V)

specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with nVIDIA

based motherboards.

Before you install PCI cards, please remove the Dual BIOS label from PCI

slots if there is one.

Item Checklist

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 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.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis...

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are

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 of

your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short

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

board or cause board malfunctioning.

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.

Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:

1.Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

2.If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will

cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
