1 When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X (1.5V). Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the motherboard due to Intel 845 chipset can't support AGP 2X(3.3V).. 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). If you install this card in GA-8IRM series (or any AGP 4X only) motherboards without switching the jumper to 4X mode (1.5V), it will burn the motherboard. Example 2: ATi Rage 128 Pro (Power Color)& SiS 305 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but it supports 2X(3.3V) only. If you install this card in GA-8IRM series (or any AGP 4X only) motherboards, it will burn the motherboard. Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S graphics card is based on ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S is compliance with AGP 4X (1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S will work fine with Intel 845 / 850 based motherboards.

30 GA-8IRM Series Motherboard IDE Primary Master, Slave / Secondary Master, Slave The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and manual type. Manual type is user-definable; Auto type which will automatically detect HDD type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. Such information should be provided in the documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer. CYLS.

31 BIOS Setup Halt on The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up. NO Errors All Errors All, But Keyboar The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you will be prompted. 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) All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors. All, But Disk/Key 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. Extended Memory 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 address map. 27
