User manual GIGABYTE GA-6OXET-C

[. . . ] FCC Compliance Statement: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Therefore, this is a safer way for "overdrive" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTuneIIITM over system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed been tested in EasyTuneIIITM, user can "Save" this bus speed and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTuneIIITM has already turned the "overdrive" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached driver CD. Users may make a test drive of "EasyTuneIIITM" to find out more amazing features by themselves. 60 6OXET Series Motherboard Memory Installation The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets support 6 banks. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM Slot . The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch. Install memory in any combination table: Location DIMM1 (Bank 0, 1) 168-pin SDRAM DIMM Modules Single ­ Sided Note Double ­ Sided DIMM2 Single ­ Sided (Bank 2, 3) Double ­ Sided DIMM3 Single ­ Sided (Bank 4, 5) Double ­ Sided DIMM4 Single ­ Sided (Bank 4, 5) Double ­ Sided Total System Memory (Max 512MB) DIMM4 have only single-sided DIMM4 must be empty DIMM3 must install single-sided DIMM3 must be empty Supports 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256/ 512 MB SDRAM DIMM Modules. When you're using single-sided memory on DIMM4, you must use single-sided memory on DIMM3. If you use double-sided memory on DIMM4, please do not insert any memory on DIMM3. 61 BIOS Setup Page Index for BIOS Setup The Main Menu Standard CMOS Features Advanced BIOS Features Advanced Chipset Features Integrated Peripherals Power Management Setup PnP/ PCI Configurations PC Health Status Frequency / Voltage Control Load Fail-Safe Defaults Load Optimized Defaults Set Supervisor / User Password Save & Exit Setup EXIT Without Saving Page P. 64 P. 67 P. 71 P. 74 P. 79 P. 85 P. 89 P. 91 P. 93 P. 95 P. 96 P. 97 P. 98 P. 99 62 6OXET Series Motherboard BIOS Setup BIOS Setup is an overview of the BIOS Setup Program.
