Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user’s manual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.

• Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.

• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.

• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.

• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.

• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.

• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.

• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user.

• If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

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 elds of all four pairs of wires will show Open

and the Length elds show 0m , as shown in the gure 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

Очень важной особенностью системной платы GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H является поддержка шестиядерных процессоров нового поколения AMD Phenom II X6 1055T и AMD Phenom II X6 1035T. Что, согласитесь, для платы низкого ценового диапазона является большим плюсом.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

Упаковка материнской платы GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H выполнена в привычном для продуктов компании GIGABYTE стиле с большими символами обозначений модели платы. На передней части коробки с помощью небольших логотипов перечислены основные особенности и преимущества устройства. Здесь обращается внимание на то, что плата поддерживает процессоры с разъемом Socket AM3 и оснащена встроенным графическим ускорителем с поддержкой API DirectX 10.0.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

На обратной стороне упаковки перечислены и кратко описаны основные технологии, которыми оснащена системная плата:

Как видим, набор технологий, которым оснащена системная плата GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H, является традиционным для большинства недорогих решений GIGABYTE.

Комплект поставки материнской платы GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H, мягко говоря, содержит минимум необходимых для работы аксессуаров:

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

Компоновка элементов материнской платы продумана до мелочей и не вызывает серьезных замечаний. Все электронные элементы распаяны на печатной плате аккуратно. Разъемы оперативной памяти достаточно удалены от слота PCI Express 2.0 x16, и даже установка длинной видеокарты не помешает беспрепятственно установить или извлечь модули ОЗУ. Порты для подключения PATA устройств и флоппи дисковода расположены в привычном месте — с краю в правой части платы.

Грамотную конструкцию имеет радиатор северного моста. Он как бы разделён пополам и вторая его половина, по высоте, не превышает высоту разъема PCI Express x1. Благодаря этому, в разъем PCI Express x1 можно установить плату расширения с соответствующим интерфейсом любой длины.

При установке длинной видеокарты с двухслотовой системой охлаждения, два из четырех портов SATA будут заблокированы. Оставшиеся два слота можно использовать без каких-либо существенных неудобств, что можно считать хорошим показателем, особенно если учесть формат платы microATX.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

Как видно на изображении выше, свободного места над габаритной видеокартой довольно много. Есть где «разгуляться». Защелки слотов ОЗУ не блокируются. Правда следует напомнить, что при установке такой видеокарты, и один из разъемов PCI будет недоступен.

Кстати, если говорить об оперативной памяти, то материнская плата оснащена двумя слотами с поддержкой модулей DDR2 на частоте 1200 (O.C.)/1066/800 МГц. Соответственно память может работать в одно- и двухканальном режимах. Максимальный объем ОЗУ, которым можно оснастить плату – 8 ГБ, чего более чем достаточно для массовых многофункциональных систем.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

Система охлаждения системной платы GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H состоит из двух алюминиевых радиаторов на северном и южном мостах. Радиатор северного моста имеет не стандартную конструкцию, что позволяет устанавливать в слот PCI Express x1 платы расширения любой длинны. Этот радиатор имеет большое количество тонких ребер для лучшего отвода тепла. Радиатор южного моста вообще сложно назвать радиатором, больше он похож на обычную алюминиевую пластину. Но при этом система охлаждения материнской платы хорошо справляется со своей задачей. В процессе тестирования температура на северном мосте не поднималась выше 42 градусов по шкале Цельсия, а температура южного моста не превышала планку 47 градусов.

Материнская плата оснащена гигабитным сетевым контроллером Realtek RTL 8111D, что на сегодняшний день можно считать стандартом.

Звуковая подсистема материнской платы GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H представлена восьмиканальным контроллером High Definition Realtek ALC888B.

Плата оснащена двумя микросхемами системы BIOS – основной и резервной в рамках технологии Dual BIOS. Вот только расположены эти микросхемы в не совсем привычном месте – в верхнем правом углу материнской платы, рядом с контроллером ввода-вывода ITE IT8718F-S.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

Система питания материнской платы представлена четырехфазным (по схеме 3+1) стабилизатором напряжения. И даже, несмотря на «бюджетность» продукта, в цепи питания используются надежные конденсаторы с твердым электролитом и дроссели с ферритовыми сердечниками.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

А вот то, что разъем дополнительного питания процессора является четырехконтактным, не самым благоприятным образом скажется на рекомендациях по разгону процессора, особенно четырех- или шестиядерного.

Для лучшей жесткости, с обратной стороны материнской платы имеется дополнительная пластина. Она предотвращает изгибы платы при установке габаритных процессорных систем охлаждения.

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LM-S2H

На заднюю панель внешних портов материнской платы выведены следующие разъемы:
