Step 1:
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease
on the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 2:
Before installing the cooler, note the direction of
the arrow sign
on the male push pin. (Turning the push pin along the direction of arrow is to
remove the cooler, on the contrary, is to install.)

Step 3:
Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four
push pins through the pin holes on the motherboard. Push down on the push pins diagonally.

Step 4:
You should hear a "click" when pushing down
each push pin. Check that the Male and Female
push pins are joined closely. (Refer to your CPU
cooler installation manual for instructions on
installing the cooler.)

Step 5:
After the installation, check the back of the motherboard. If the push pin is inserted as the picture
above shows, the installation is complete.

Step 6:
Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU
cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the
motherboard.

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the
CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage
the CPU.

1-4	 Installing the Memory
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
•	 Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the
same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
	 (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list.)
•	 Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing
the memory to prevent hardware damage.
•	 Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1-4-1	 Dual Channel Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the
memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as
following:
Channel 0: DDR3_1, DDR3_2
Channel 1: DDR3_3, DDR3_4

1/2)	ATX_12V/ATX (2x2 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main 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, first make sure the power
supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof
design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation. The 12V
power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the
computer will not start.
•	 To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand
high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not
provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.
•	 The main power connector is compatible with power supplies with 2x10 power connectors.
When using a 2x12 power supply, remove the protective cover from the main power connector
on the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cable into pins under the protective cover
when using a 2x10 power supply.

Chapter 2	 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that
allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features.  When
the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep
the configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the  key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press  +  in the main menu of the
BIOS Setup program.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.
•	 Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating
system.
• 	 @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the
Internet and updates the BIOS.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 4, "BIOS Update Utilities."
•	 Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current
version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with
caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.
•	 BIOS will emit a beep code during the POST. Refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting," for the beep
codes description.
•	 It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
(Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/
clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent
on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for
advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.)

This motherboard incorporates cable diagnostic feature designed to detect the status of the attached LAN
cable. This feature will detect cabling issue and report the approximate distance to the fault or short. Refer to
the following information for diagnosing your LAN cable:
When No LAN Cable Is Attached...
	
If no LAN cable is attached to the motherboard, the Status fields of all four pairs of wires will show Open
and the Length fields show 0m, as shown in the figure above.

	

When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally...
If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the
following message will appear:
	
	
	

	
	
	

Start detecting at Port.....
Link Detected --> 100Mbps
Cable Length=	 30m

Link Detected	 Displays transmission speed.
Cable Length	 Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a
normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated.

When a Cable Problem Occurs...
If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and then length
shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Example: Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2.
Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will show
Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.

4-1	 Xpress Recovery2
Xpress Recovery2 is a utility that allows you to quickly compress and
back up your system data and perform restoration of it. Supporting NTFS,
FAT32, and FAT16 file systems, Xpress Recovery2 can back up data on
PATA and SATA hard drives and restore it.

Before You Begin:
•	 Xpress Recovery2 will check the first physical hard drive(Note) for the operating system. Xpress Recovery2
can only back up/restore the first physical hard drive that has the operating system installed.
•	 As Xpress Recovery2 will save the backup file at the end of the hard drive, make sure to leave enough unallocated space in advanced (10 GB or more is recommended; actual size requirements vary, depending
on the amount of data).
•	 It is recommended to back up your system soon after the operating system and drivers are installed.
•	 The amount of data and hard drive access speed may affect the speed at which the data is backed up/
restored.
•	 It takes longer to back up a hard drive than to restore it.

System Requirements:
•	 At least 512 MB of system memory
•	 VESA compatible graphics card
•	 Windows XP with SP1 or later, Windows Vista
•	 Xpress Recovery and Xpress Recovery2 are different utilities. For example, a backup file created

4-2	 BIOS Update Utilities
GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-Flash™ and @BIOS™. GIGABYTE
Q-Flash and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-DOS
mode. Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS™ design, which enhances protection for the
safety and stability of your computer by adding one more physical BIOS chip.
What is DualBIOS™?
Motherboards that support DualBIOS have two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS and
a backup BIOS. Normally, the system works on the main BIOS. However, if the
main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the backup BIOS will take over on the next system boot and copy the
BIOS file to the main BIOS to ensure normal system operation. For the sake of system safety, users cannot
update the backup BIOS manually.
What is Q-Flash™?
With Q-Flash you can update the system BIOS without having to enter operating
systems like MS-DOS or Window first. Embedded in the BIOS, the Q-Flash tool
frees you from the hassles of going through complicated BIOS flashing process.

site and update the BIOS.

What is @BIOS™?
@BIOS allows you to update the system BIOS while in the Windows environment. @BIOS will download the latest BIOS file from the nearest @BIOS server

4-2-1	 Updating the BIOS with the Q-Flash Utility
A. Before You Begin
1.	 From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your motherboard model.

user key using a Bluetooth cell phone or USB flash drive. Users can access/close their PSD data by simply
connecting to the Bluetooth cell phone or plugging in the USB flash drive, without the hassles of complicated
configurations. In addition, users can create more than one Bluetooth cell phone/USB flash drive key, so when
they lost a key they still can access data.

•	 After creating the password(s) and key(s) associated the TPM, be sure to store them in a secure location
and back them up. Loss of the password(s) or the key(s) will render the files encrypted via the TPM unable
to be cracked or read.
•	 Though the TPM delivers the latest data security technology, it does not guarantee data integrity or provide
hardware protection. GIGABYTE is not liable for loss of encrypted data as a result of hardware damage.

A. Before installing Smart TPM, follow the steps below in sequence:

Step 1:
As the computer starts, enter the BIOS Setup program. Go to the Security Chip Configuration menu and set Security Chip
to Enabled/Activate. It's recommended that you use the Clear Security Chip setting (press  +  in the BIOS main
menu to display this setting) to clear the TPM chip. Save changes and then restart your computer.
•	 Previously encrypted files will become inaccessible after the TPM chip is cleared. Be sure to back up the
encrypted files first.
•	 To prevent the TPM settings being cleared by other users, we recommend that you set the User Password
in the BIOS Setup program.
Step 2:
Install the Infineon TPM driver from the motherboard driver disk (select Infineon TPM Driver).
Step 3:
Install the Smart TPM utility from the motherboard driver disk. (Click the tab at the bottom of the left pane of the autorun
screen and you'll be directed to the Install New Utilities menu. Click the Install button on the right of Smart TPM to install it.)

B. Instructions for using Smart TPM:

1.	 After configuring the above settings and restarting your computer, the Infineon Security Platform icon , which
indicates that the Infineon Security Platform is not yet initialized, will appear in the notification area. Doubleclick the icon or right-click the Smart TPM icon and select Initialization Wizard to access Smart TPM.
You can select Advanced mode to enter the Infineon Security Platform Settings Tool to configure advanced settings.
(You have to at least set up a Personal Secure Drive (PSD). Refer to the Infineon Security Platform Help file to see
how to set up the PSD.)

2.	 The easy-to-use Smart TPM interface allows users to easily initialize the TPM chip, set up the TPM User Password, configure
a Personal Secure Drive, and create a portable user key.
Set Your TPM Password
		

	 	

	 	

j	 Only for GA-P55-UD3L-TPM.

A password is automatically provided. You can change it to your
own password. Be sure to memorize this password because it allows you to create a portable user key using your Bluetooth cell
phone or USB flash drive.

Set up your Personal Secure Drive(PSD)

Configure a Personal Secure Drive (PSD) here. Specify the PSD
drive letter, drive label, size, and a local drive on which your PSD
will be saved.

Create Your Smart TPM Key

Set your Bluetooth cell phone/USB flash drive as the Smart TPM
user key. You will be able to access/close your PSD data when
connecting to the Bluetooth cell phone or when plugging in the USB
flash drive that is configured as the Smart TPM user key. Selecting
the Enable Backup to BIOS check box will store the encrypted
TPM User Password in the system BIOS.

3.	 Click OK to complete the settings.

4-9	 eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D)
With GIGABYTE eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D) (Note 1), users can quickly configure a RAIDready system for RAID 0 when a new SATA drive is added. For a RAID 0 array that already exists, users also can use X.H.D to easily add a hard drive into the array to expand
its capacity. All with a simple click of a button, X.H.D helps to enhance your hard drive
read/write performance without the need for complex and time-consuming configurations. The following procedure
details the steps to set up a RAID-ready system and configure it for RAID 0.

A. Setting Up a RAID-Ready System

Step 1: Configure the system BIOS
Enter the system BIOS Setup program, set eXtreme Hard Disk (X.H.D) under the Integrated Peripherals
menu to Enabled to enable RAID for the Intel SATA controllers.
Step 2: Install the RAID driver and operating system
The X.H.D utility supports Windows 7/Vista/XP. Before installing the operating system, you have to load the
SATA controller driver first. Without the driver, the hard drive may not be recognized during the Windows setup
process. (For more details, refer to Chapter 5, "Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System." )
Step 3: Install the motherboard drivers and the X.H.D utiltiy
After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk. You can click the Xpress Install All
button to automatically install all motherboard drivers, including the X.H.D utility. Or you can go to the Application Software screen to individually install the X.H.D utility later.

B. Using GIGABYTE eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D)

Instructions: (Note 2)
Before launching X.H.D, make sure the newly added harddrive has equal or greater capacity than the RAID-ready
system drive. (To add a new hard drive into a RAID 0 array that's been created earlier, make sure the new drive is
greater than or equal to the biggest drive in the array. )

1.	
To automatically set up a RAID 0 array:
	 Click Auto to automatically and quickly set up a RAID 0 array.
2.	
To manually set up a RAID array: (Note 3)
	
Click Manual to access the Intel Matrix Storage Console, with which you can build a RAID 0, RAID 1, or
other supported RAID array depending on your needs and hardware components.
3.	
Exits the X.H.D utility:
	
Click Cancel to exit the X.H.D utility.
(Note 1)	 The X.H.D utility only supports the SATA controllers integrated in the Intel Chipset.
(Note 2)	 It is recommended that before you run the X.H.D utility, back up all of your data to avoid risk of
hardware damage or lost of data.
(Note 3)	 If you manually build a non-RAID 0 array, you'll not be able to automatically set up a RAID 0 array
later using the Auto function.

Recovery Volume Options
Intel Rapid Recover Technology provides data protection by allowing users to easily restore data and system
operation using a designated recovery drive. With the Rapid Recovery Technology, which employs RAID 1
functionality, users can copy the data from the master drive to the recovery drive; if needed, the data on the
recovery drive can be restored back to the master drive.
Before you begin:
•	 The recovery drive must have equal or greater capacity than the master drive.
•	 A recovery volume can be created with two hard drives only. A recovery volume and a RAID array cannot
co-exist in the system at the same time, that is, if you have already created a recovery volume, you are
unable to create a RAID array.
•	 Only the master drive can be riewed in the operating system; the recovery drive is hidden.
Step 1:
select Create RAID Volume in MAIN MENU and press  (Figure 8).

5-1-3	 Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver Diskette
		

(Required for AHCI and RAID Mode)

To successfully install operating system onto SATA hard drive(s) that is/are configured to RAID/AHCI mode,
you need to install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation. Without the driver, the hard drive may
not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, copy the driver for the SATA controller from
the motherboard driver disk to a floppy disk. For installing Windows Vista, you also can copy the SATA controller driver from the motherboard driver disk to a USB flash drive. See the instructions below about how to
copy the driver in MS-DOS and Windows mode.
In MS-DOS mode:
Prepare a startup disk that has CD-ROM support and a blank formatted floppy disk.
Steps:
1:	 Boot from the startup disk.
2:	 Remove the startup disk and insert the prepared floppy disk and the motherboard driver disk (here we assume 	that the drive letter for your optical drive is D:\).
3:	 At the A:\> prompt, type the following command. Press  after the command:
	 •	 For the Intel P55, type (Figure 1): (Note)
			A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\imsm\32bit\*.*
	 •	 For the GIGABYTE SATA2, type (Figure 2): (Note)
			A:\>copy d:\bootdrv\gsata\32bit\*.*

Figure 1
Figure 2
In Windows mode:
Steps:
1:	 Use an alternative system and insert the motherboard driver disk.
2:	 From your optical drive folder, double click the Menu.exe file in the BootDrv folder (Figure 3). A Command
Prompt window will open similar to that in Figure 4.
3:	 Insert the blank formatted disk. Select the controller driver by pressing the corresponding letter from the
menu and press . For example, from the menu in Figure 4,
	 •	 For the Intel P55, select 1) Intel Matrix Storage driver for 32bit system for Windows 32-bit operating
system or 2) Intel Matrix Storage driver for 64bit system for Windows 64-bit.
	 •	 For the GIGABYTE SATA2, select 3) GIGABYTE GSATA driver for 32bit system for Windows 32-bit
operating system or 4) GIGABYTE GSATA driver for 64bit system for Windows 64-bit.
Your system will then automatically copy the driver files to the floppy disk. Press any key to exit when finished.

Figure 4
(Note)	

Figure 3
Change the directory from \32bit to \64bit if you wish to copy the Windows 64-bit driver.
