Suspend to RAM Installation Suspend To RAM Installation A.1 Introduce STR function: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering from STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the system goes to sleep.
7ZX Series Motherboard Step 2: (If you want to use STR Function, please set jumper JP7 Closed.) 1 Pin No. Open Close Definition Normal (Default) STR Enabled Step 3: Power on the computer and as soon as memory counting starts, press . You will enter BIOS Setup. Select the item “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, then select “ACPI Sleep Type : S3 / STR”. Remember to save the settings by pressing "ESC" and choose the “SAVE & EXIT SETUP” option.
Suspend to RAM Installation A.3 How to put your system into STR mode? 1. There are two ways to accomplish this: Choose the “Stand by” item in the “Shut Down Windows” area. A. Press the “Start” button and then select “Shut Down” B.
7ZX Series Motherboard 2. Define the system ”power on” button to initiate STR sleep mode: A. Double click “My Computer” and then “Control Panel” B. Double click the “ Power Management” item.
Suspend to RAM Installation C. Select the “Advanced” tab and “Standby” mode in Power Buttons. D. Restart your computer to complete setup. Now when you want to enter STR sleep mode, just momentarily press the “Power on” button. A.4 How to recover from the STR sleep mode? There are five ways to “wake up” the system: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press the “Power On” button. Use the “Resume by Alarm” function. Use the “Modem Ring On” function. Use the “Wake On LAN” function. Use the “USB Device Wake Up” function.
7ZX Series Motherboard A.5 Notices: 1. 2. In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must be satisfied: A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current). B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100/PC-133 compliant. Jumper JP8 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your system is in STR sleep mode.
Dual BIOS Introduction Dual BIOS Introduction (Optional) A. What is Dual BIOS Technology? Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS. B.

Dual BIOS Introduction Boot From : Main BIOS (Default), Backup BIOS Status 1: The user can set to boot from main BIOS or Backup BIOS. Auto Recovery : Enable(Default), Disable When one of the Main BIOS or Backup BIOS occurs checksum failure, the working BIOS will automatically recover the BIOS of checksum failure. (In the Power Management Setup of the BIOS Setting, if ACPI Suspend Type is set to Suspend to RAM, the Auto Recovery will be set to Enable automatically.
7ZX Series Motherboard DualBIOSTM Technology FAQ GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newness “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-7ZX Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation. What’s DualBIOSTM? On GIGABYTE motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips.
Dual BIOS Introduction I. Q: What is DualBIOSTM technology? Answer: DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOSTM technology simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
7ZX Series Motherboard III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work? Answer: 1. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment. 2. DualBIOSTM provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible.
Dual BIOS Introduction 2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOSTM technology examines the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly. 3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard.
7ZX Series Motherboard Four Speaker & SPDIF Introduction (Optional) Four Speaker Introduction A. What is Four Speaker? The Creative CT5880 audio chip can support up to 4 speaker output. If you select “Four speaker out”, Line In will be reconfigured as another line out to support a second pair of speakers. B. How to use Four Speaker? Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition setup procedure: a. Click the audio icon along the task bar and select “Configure 3D Audio” b.
Four Speaker & SPDIF Introduction c. Select “Four speaker” item. Microsoft Windows Me setup procedure: a. Go to “Control Panel” Double click “Sounds and Multimedia”.

Four Speaker Application The four speaker function will only be supported in application softwares that use Microsoft DirectX and Creative EAX, for example, the game titles, software DVD player and MP3 player.
Four Speaker & SPDIF Introduction SPDIF Introduction A. What is SPDIF? The SPDIF output is capable of providing digital audio to external speakers or compressed AC3 data to an external Dolby digital decoder. B. How to use SPDIF? a. Click your mouse right button in “My Computer” and select the “Properties” item. b. Click “Device Manager” item.
7ZX Series Motherboard c. Click “Sound, video and game controllers” item and select the “Creative Sound Blaster PCI128” item. d. Click “Settings” item and select the “Output Mode” item.

7ZX Series Motherboard @BIOS™ Introduction Gigabyte announces @BIOS™ Windows BIOS live update utility Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like many other people, you just know what BIOS is, but always hesitate to update it? Because you think updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually you don’t know how to update it. Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much.
EasyTuneIIITM Introduction EasyTuneIII™ Introduction Gigabyte announces EasyTuneIII™ Windows overdrive utility “Overdrive” might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever tried it? The answer is probably “no”. Because “overdrive” is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes “overdrive” is even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.
7ZX Series Motherboard This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached driver CD. Users may make a test drive of “EasyTuneIII™” to find out more amazing features by themselves.
