Frequently Asked Questions - 8S651M-RZ GIGABYTE

What type of processor is compatible with the 8S651M-RZ motherboard?
The motherboard supports Intel Pentium 4 processors in Socket 478 with a 400 or 533 MHz FSB, especially the Northwood models built on 0.13 µm.
How many memory modules can I install and what type?
You can install up to 2 non-buffered DDR memory modules (2.5 V) of type DDR200, DDR266 or DDR333, for a maximum of 2 GB.
How to install the processor correctly?
Lift the socket lever to 90°, align the cut corner of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket, insert the CPU gently without forcing, then lower the lever to lock it.
Does the motherboard have an integrated video output?
Yes, thanks to the SiS 651 chipset, it integrates a VGA controller with a VGA port on the rear panel.
How to access the BIOS?
Turn on the computer and immediately press the Del key to enter the Award BIOS.
What are the power connections?
The board requires two connectors: a main 20-pin ATX and a 4-pin ATX 12V (often labeled P4) to power the processor.
How to install drivers for Windows?
Insert the provided CD-ROM, the installation starts automatically. You can use Xpress Install to automatically install all drivers, or install them manually one by one.
What to do if the computer does not start after installation?
Check that all connectors are firmly inserted (ATX, ATX12V, CPU, RAM), that the processor is compatible and correctly installed, and try to clear the CMOS by shorting the CLR_CMOS jumper.
How to clear a forgotten BIOS password?
Turn off the computer, unplug the power cable, remove the CMOS battery for 30 seconds, then put it back. This will reset the BIOS settings, including the password.
Can I use a SATA hard drive with this motherboard?
No, the motherboard only has IDE (PATA) ports for hard drives and optical drives. To use a SATA drive, you would need a PCI-SATA adapter.

Preparing Your Computer

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.

GIGABYTE 8S651M-RZ - Preparing Your Computer - 1

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 maybe a little hard to cutoff, 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, Chipsets, Memory, Cards....etc.

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 . Such information should be provided in the documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.

Cylinder Number of cylinders
Head Number of heads
Precomp Write precomp
Landing Zone Landing zone
Sector Number of sectors

If a hard disk has not been installed, select NONE and press .

Drive A / Drive B

The category identifies the types of floppy disk drive A or drive B that has been installed in the computer.

None No floppy drive installed
360K, 5.25" 5.25 inch PC-type standard drive; 360K byte capacity.
1.2M, 5.25" 5.25 inch AT-type high-density drive; 1.2M byte capacity (3.5 inch when 3 Mode is Enabled).

Disabled Normal Floppy Drive. (Default value)
Drive A Drive A is 3 mode Floppy Drive.
Drive B Drive B is 3 mode Floppy Drive.
Both Drive A & B are 3 mode Floppy Drives.

Halt on

The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up.

No Errors The system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you will be prompted.
All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped.
All, But Keyboard 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.

BaseMemory

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 512K for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for systems with 640K 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.

"Top Performance" will increase H/W working speed. Different system configuration (both H/W component and OS) will effect the result. For example, the same H/W configuration might not run properly with Windows XP, but works smoothly with Windows NT. Therefore, if your system is not perform enough, the reliability or stability problem will appear sometimes, and we will recommend you disabling the option to avoid the problem as mentioned above.
