Gigabyte GA-7VM400M Manuale utente

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 VIA®KM400. You might

experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP

4X/8X(1.5V) 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-7VM400M (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not

function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to 4X/

8X(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-7VM400M (or any AGP Pro 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 VIA®KM400 based

motherboards.

Motherboard Settings Label

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 compo-

nents 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.

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.

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,

Memory, Cards…etc.
