Hardware Installation
This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage your system components.
CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports AMD AthlonTM 64/ SempronTM processor using Socket 754. Before building your system, we suggest you visit the AMD website and review the processor installation procedures. http://www.amd.com
CPU Socket 754 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the locking lever away from the
socket. Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.]
2. On the socket, locate the corner which has the “diagonally cut-corner” on the rectangular
shaped pattern of pinholes (see diagram below-left). Match that corner with the “gold triangle” on the CPU (see diagram below-right) and lower the CPU onto the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.
Diagonally Cut-corner
3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.
4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the
clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan and insert it onto the “CPUFAN” adapter.
Attention DO NOT touch the CPU pins in case they are damaged. Also, make sure
that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed and the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case your CPU and other sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.

Appendix II: RAID Setup
Introduction to RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology is a sophisticated disk management system that manages multiple disk drives. It enhances I/O performance and provides redundancy in order to prevent the loss of data in case of individual disk failure. The RAID facility on this board provides RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID JBOD, and RAID 5.
Disk Striping (RAID 0)
Striping is a performance-oriented, non-redundant disk storage technology. With RAID striping, multiple disks are used to form a larger virtual disk. Data is then striped or mapped across all the physical disks. In this way, multiple I/O operations can be executed in parallel, enhancing performance. Striping does not provide fault tolerance. The minimum number of hard drives for RAID 0 is 2.
Disk Mirroring (RAID 1)
With Disk Mirroring there are redundant disks that mirror the primary disks. Data that is written to the primary disks are also written to the redundant disks. This redundancy provides fault tolerant protection from a single disk failure. If a read/write failure occurs on one drive, the system can still read and write data using the other drive. The minimum number of drives for a RAID 1 configuration is 2. You are required to use an even number of drives.
Disk Striped Mirroring (RAID 0+1)
This mode combines both the performance benefits of RAID 0 with the fault tolerance of RAID 1. The minimum number of drives for RAID 0+1 configuration is 4 drives. This configuration also requires an even number of drives. Note: All mirrored configurations or striped/mirrored configurations should use drives of the same size.
RAID SPAN (RAID JBOD)
RAID SPAN allows JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) configurations which simply uses multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk without any other specialized disk management functionality. RAID SPAN is not considered a standard RAID implementation.
Disk Rotating Parity Array (RAID 5)
RAID 5 is one of the most popular implementations of RAID. It utilizes the configurations of Byte Stripping and Block Stripping, and writes the data to multiple disks. The minimum number of drives for a RAID 5 configuration is 3. It possesses the

As result, the performance of RAID 5 can substantially

3.On the “RAID config” screen (shown below-right), enable the disks that you want to use as
RAID disks (in this example there are four SATA hard drives configured as RAID disks).
NVIDIA RAID Utility Configuration
The NVIDIA RAID Utility is used to configure RAID disk management into your hard disks. This section will explain how to setup and maintain your RAID disk drives.
Starting up the NVIDIA BIOS RAID Utility When the system boots up during the
POST (Power-On Self Test), you will be given an opportunity to enter the NVIDIA BIOS RAID Utility when the screen prompts you with following message:
“Press F10 to enter RAID setup utility” Press the <F10> key to enter the NVIDIA
BIOS RAID utility (note that you will only have a short window of time to press <F10> before the system continues with the next step of the boot process). The Raid Utility screen will display as shown right.
Associating Screen Drive Names with Physical Drives on the Board
This section explains how to associate the drives listed on the “Define a New Array” screen with the physical drives attached to the connectors on the mainboard. This becomes important when identifying drives that need to be replaced or changed.
Channel, Controller, Master/Slave
Located here are 3 identifiers separated by periods. These identifiers represent the Channel, Controller, and Master/Slave ID for a drive. With these identifiers, you can associate the drives on this screen with a physical connector and drive on the board.
Channel 0 – Represents one of the PATA connectors
43
Mainboard KI51PV-754
Channel 1 – Represents one of the SATA connectors Controller 0 – 1st connector (e.g. PATA1 or SATA1) Controller 1 – 2nd connector (e.g. PATA2 or SATA2) Master/Slave – SATA drives will always be Master drives since an SATA connector can only
support 1 drive. PATA connectors can support a Master and a Slave drive. For Example: On a board with 4 connectors (PATA1, PATA2, SATA1, SATA2), the following applies:
0.0.M = PATA1 (master drive)
0.0.S = PATA1 (slave drive)
0.1.M = PATA2 (master drive)
0.1.S = PATA2 (slave drive)
1.0.M = SATA1
1.1.M = SATA2
Creating New RAID Array
The first screen you will see upon initial configuration is the “Define New Array” screen. First, tab over to the “RAIDMode” text box and press <Enter>. The pop up menu will display as shown below. According to your configuration requirements, select “Mirroring” (RAID 1), “Striping” (RAID 0), “Striping Mirroring“ (RAID 0+1), “Spanning” (JBOD), or “RAID5”. Then press <Enter>.
Next, <Tab> over to the “Striping Block” option and press <Enter>. A pop menu will display as shown below. With this option you can manually select the striping block size for your array. This option will affect data access performance. We recommend that you to select “Optimal” option for automatic configuration. Press <Enter>.
Attention The “Loc” and “Disk Model Name”, located on this screen reflect the disk
drives installed on the PATA or SATA connectors. The example disk drive information may differ with the information that displays on your screen.

After the array is successfully deleted, the screen will display as shown below.
Rebuilding a RAID Mirrored Array
This section applies to Mirrored, Striped Mirroring RAID and RAID 5 configurations and describes how to reestablish the integrity of a mirrored environment after replacing one of the drives (typically because of a single disk failure). After replacing the errant drive, the rebuild process will move data from its mirrored sibling drive (the drive with information still intact) to the newly installed drive. This only applies to mirrored configurations (RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5).
47
Mainboard KI51PV-754
Before you rebuild a RAID Mirrored Array
Before you begin rebuilding a RAID Mirrored Array, you must copy the “NvRaidMan.exe” file from the bundled CD Driver to your C: drive. [CD File Location Path => D: \ Driver \ nForce \
6.53 \ IDE \ WIN2K (or WINXP)\ NvRaidMan.exe]
To rebuild a mirrored array, bring up the NVIDIA RAID Utility. From the “Array List” screen, select the array with the newly installed drive. Then go to the “Array Detail” screen (press Enter). Then press the <R> key and use the up/down arrow keys to select the hard drive that you just installed. Then press <F7>. A confirmation message will display (as shown below). Press <Y> to confirm. Then press <Ctrl-X> to exit the “NVIDIA RAID Utility” setup.
Launch the NVRAID Management utility by double-clicking the NvRaidMan.exe that has been copied to the C: drive. You can view the status of rebuilding under the Details section from the screen as shown below.

Install the OS of Windows® 2000/XP into your RAID HDDs
In this section, it will tell you how to install the operating system of Windows® 2000/XP into your RAID drives. The installation steps below will assume that your HDDs have already been attached to either the PATA or SATA connectors, and also your BIOS RAID Utility has already been configured (see NVIDIA BIOS RAID Utility Configuration section).
Preparation: Before starting to install the OS, copy the “RAID Driver” and associated files from the bundle CD Driver to an empty floppy disk [The files location in CD-ROM => \ Driver \ nForce \ 6.53 \ IDE \ Floppy \ *.*]. This will have to be done on another system if you are installing the system from scratch.
1. During Windows installation, the “Windows Setup” screen will prompt you with “Press F6 if
you need to install third party SCSI or RAID driver”. Press <F6>.
2. Press 's' when setup asks if you want to specify an additional device. Insert the floppy disk
which includes the “RAID Driver” into the floppy drive. Press 'Enter' and select the appropriate OS device driver.
3. Press 'Enter' again to continue the setup process.
4. Follow the setup instructions and select your choice for partition and file system.
5. After setup examines your disks, it will copy files to the Windows® 2000/ XP installation
folders and restart the system. After the system is rebooted the setup program will continue with the installation all the way to completion.
6. Wait until Windows® 2000/ XP finishes installing devices, regional settings, networking
settings, components, and the final set of tasks. Reboot the system if you are asked to do so.

Appendix III: ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) Card Setup
Introduction
The ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) system provides your system with a recovery BIOS backup when your onboard BIOS has been damaged beyond system boot capability.
Preparation and Setup
You should prepare a boot floppy disk and have it ready in case of such BIOS failures. Otherwise you will have to find another computer to make the boot floppy disk from. When you make the disk, you should visit our website and download the latest version of the BIOS file for your mainboard along with the AWDFLASH.exe executable, placing both onto the floppy disk.
Onoboard BIOS Recovery Procedures
1. Make sure your system is turned off.
2. Set the jumper cap on the ABS_JP1 header located on the ABS Card to the “Rescue BIOS
position (figure 1).
3. Remove the jumper caps (on pins 1-2, pins 3-4) from the mainboard BIOSCN1 header
(figure 2).
4. Insert the ABS Card onto the BIOSCN1 header on the mainboard. The ABS will fit over the
entire BIOSCN1 header and can only be inserted in one direction.
Closed
Closed
(“Closed” means putting a jumper cap onto two adjacent header pins.)

Place the boot floppy disk (from the “Preparation and Setup” section) into the floppy drive and turn on your system.
Note: If your system is not setup to use the floppy drive as the first boot drive, you must enter the BIOS setup utility and make the appropriate adjustments. During the initial boot up sequence the screen will display a message that will give you an opportunity to enter the BIOS setup utility (typically, “Press Delete Key to enter BIOS utility”) .
Once in the BIOS Utility, follow this path: Advanced -> Hard Disk Boot Priority -> First Boot Device and set the “First Boot Device” to “Removable”.
After the system boots from the floppy, the system will enter into the DOS mode (note that the system has booted using the ABS card’s BIOS).
6. With the system still running, you must carefully
move the jumper cap on the ABS Card (ABS_JP1 header) back to its “Onboard BIOS” position.
This disables the ABS BIOS which will now allow you to flash the corrupted mainboard BIOS from the floppy disk.
7. At the DOS prompt, type “DIR” and take notice of the name of the BIOS file name which ends
with the extension “.bin” (e.g. K8N7003.bin”). There should also be an AWDFLASH.exe file present. Then type: awdflash(space)(the file name of .bin).bin (For example: awdflash(space) k8n7003.bin)
Closed
(“Closed” means putting a jumper cap onto two adjacent header pins.)
Type “dir”
Note the file name
Type “awdflash(space) xxxx.bin”

8. The initial AWARD BIOS FLASH screen (shown below-left) will appear and prompt you with
the message, “Do you want to save BIOS?” Type “N” (Note: Typing “Y” is only used when saving the BIOS from the onboard BIOS to the floppy disk).
The next screen (shown above-right) will display a message “Press ’Y’ to Program or ‘N’ to Exit”. Then type ‘Y’ to begin the onboard BIOS flash procedure.
9. The flashing procedure will take several minutes and will show its progress on the screen.
After the flash BIOS procedures have completed, press ‘F1’ to reboot the system.
Type N Type Y
When the flash process is complete, press ‘F1’
Attention
While processing the flash BIOS procedures, DO NOT power off or restart your system. Otherwise, it may damage the onboard BIOS.
52
Mainboard KI51PV-754
10. During the next boot sequence, enter the BIOS utility program (Note: During the boot
sequence you will be given a chance to enter the BIOS utility by pressing the “DEL” key on most systems). Load the system with the default settings, and save the changes before exit the BIOS utility program. Then the onboard BIOS recovery procedures are completed at this time.
Follow the path: Defaults -> Load System Default Settings -> Y .
Next, follow the path: Exit -> Save & Exit Setup -> Y
Follow the path: Exit -> Save & Exit Setup -> Y .

11. After you have recovered your onboard BIOS, you can choose to remove or not remove the
ABS Card from the mainboard. If you do choose to remove the ABS Card from the mainboard, make sure that the system is
powered off before you remove the card. After you remove the ABS card you must replace the two jumper caps on the BIOSCN1 header back to the default positions (pins 1-2 and pins 3-4 are both closed as shown).
If you choose not remove the ABS Card from the mainboard, make sure that the jumper caps on the ABS_JP1 header located on the ABS Card to the “Onboard BIOS” as below, in order to reduce the damage opportunity of the rescue BIOS in ABS Card and on the other hand to extend the usage life of the ABS Card.
(“Closed” means putting a jumper cap onto two adjacent header pins.)
Closed
BIOSCN1
Attention
If both your onboard BIOS and rescue BIOS are damaged unfortunately, the ABS Card will fail the feature of providing BIOS backup. Therefore, it is recommended that recover the onboard BIOS in advance, and take the ABS Card as emergency happen.
