Dual Channel DDR II
GA-8AENXP-DW supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the
Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will double.
GA-8AENXP-DW includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:
Channel A : DDR II 1, DDR II 2
Channel B : DDR II 3, DDR II 4
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the
limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1. Dual channel memory cannot be used if one or three DDR II memory modules are installed.
2. If two DDR II memory modules are installed (same storage capacity), one must be added to
the Channel A slot and the other in the Channel B slot in order to use dual channel memory.
Dual channel memory cannot function if both DDR II memory modules are installed on the
same channel.
3. If four DDR II memory modules are installed, please use memory of the same storage capacity
in order to use dual channel memory and for BIOS to detect all the DDR II memory modules.
We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR II memory modules into the DIMMs with the same
color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.

ultimate system protection. Designed to withstand varying current levels and changes, the U-Plus DPS
provides an immensely durable and stable power circuit to the CPU for solid system stability. These
characteristics make it the ideal companion with the latest LGA775 Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor as well
as future Intel ® processors. As well, 4 blue LED's are mounted on the U-Plus D.P.S. for intelligent
indication of system loading.
The U-Plus DPS can work in a Dual Power System:
Parallel Mode-U-Plus DPS and motherboard CPU power can work
simultaneously, providing a total of 8-phase power
circuit.
How to install U-Plus DPS?
1. The U-Plus DPS socket (VRM_CONN) has a notch, so the U-Plus DPS can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the U-Plus DPS vertically into the socket and then push it down.
3. Fix the U-Plus DPS on the motherbard with the clip.
4. Reverse the installation steps if you want to remove the U-Plus DPS.

ATX_12V/ATX (Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the
components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, please make sure that all
components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its proper location on
the motherboard and connect tightly.
The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the ATX_12V power connector
is not connected, the system will not start.
Caution!
Please use a power supply that is able to handle the system voltage requirements. It is
recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (300W or
greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an
unstable system or a system that is unable to start.
Please remove the small cover on the motherboard before plugging in while the ATX power
supplier is 24 pins; Otherwise, please do not remove it.
