Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Which type of processor does the BD71/BD7H-RAID Motherboard take?
A1: The BD71/BD7H-RAID Motherboard is meant for use with Intel Pentium® 4 Socket 478 processor with System Data Bus of either 400 or 533 MHz.
Q2: Which maximum memory capacity does this motherboard accommodate?
A2: There are 184 slots in the DDR DIMM modules and this motherboard accommodates a max of 2GB DDR SDRAM modules across three such slots.
Q3: Does the BD71/BD7H-RAID Motherboard support any RAID configuration?
A3: The Jumpers of the HighPoint HPT372 IDE controller facilitate access to RAID configurations, and among them RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring) and RAID 0+1 (striping and mirroring) are included.
Q4: Does the motherboard has any audio features? If yes, what are those?
A4: Multiple audiovisual options are available with ALC650 single chip, which is called a CODEC and is ideally suited to be mounted on the motherboard, as it has better SNR performance.
Q5: How many USB ports are included in the motherboard device?
A5: In total 4 headers are used to provide extra ports along with 2 onboard and all together there are 6 USB 2.0 ports.
Q6: This device, does it allow for the temperature of the motherboard to be monitored along with fan speed?
A6: this motherboard provides the necessary equipment to facilitate the hardware monitoring to supervise the system temperature, the rotation speed of the fan and the power voltages.
Q7: What power supply is to be used?
A7: It is recommended that you use at least a 20AMP 5 volts DC rail with more than 300W ATX12V rated power supply to ensure proper operation of the motherboard.
