ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take
care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores, when handling boards and components.

Award BIOS Utility
The BIOS of CEM830 is porting with Winbond Super I/O W83627HG. If
the Baseboard designer use a different Super I/O chip, the BIOS needs
to be customized. The Phoenix-Award BIOS provides users with a
built-in Setup program to modify basic system configuration. All
configured parameters are stored in a battery-backed-up RAM (CMOS
RAM) to save the Setup information whenever the power is turned off.
4.1 Entering Setup
There are two ways to enter the Setup program. You may either turn
ON the computer and press <Del> immediately, or press the <Del>
and/or <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys simultaneously when the
following message appears at the bottom of the screen during POST
(Power on Self Test).
TO ENTER SETUP PRESS DEL KEY
If the message disappears before you respond and you still want to
enter Setup, please restart the system to try it again. Turning the
system power OFF and ON, pressing the “RESET” button on the
system case or simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del> keys
can restart the system. If you do not press keys at the right time and
the system doesn’t boot, an error message will pop out to prompt you
the following information:

Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu
appears on the screen. In the Main Menu, there are several Setup
functions and a couple of Exit options for your selection. Use arrow
keys to select the Setup Page you intend to configure then press
<Enter> to accept or enter its sub-menu.
NOTE If your computer can not boot after making and saving
system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS will reset
your system to the CMOS default settings via its built-in
override feature.
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the
chipset’s defaults. Both Award and your system manufacturer have
carefully set up these defaults that provide the best performance and
reliability.

Configuring SATA for RAID Function
Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) for RAID
®
Function (Controller: Intel
Please follow up the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s):
(1) Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
(2) Enter the BIOS Setup to configure SATA controller mode and boot
sequence.
(3) Configure RAID by the RAID BIOS.
(4) Create a floppy disk for the SATA controller driver.
(5) Install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation.
Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare:
(a) Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is
recommended that you use two hard drives with identical model
and capacity).
(b) An empty formatted floppy disk
(c) Windows XP setup disk
(1) Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system
Connect one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA
hard drive, and the other end to available SATA port(s) on the
board. Then, connect the power connector of power supply to the
hard drive.
(2) Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the
BIOS Setup
You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured
correctly by system BIOS Setup and set up BIOS boot sequence for
the SATA hard drive(s).

CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type-II Module User’s Manual
(2)-1 Turn on your system and press the Del button to enter BIOS
Setup during running POST (Power-On Self Test). If you want
to create RAID, just select RAID for SATA Mode (default IDE)
under the Integrated Peripherals menu.
Figure 1
66
Configuring SATA for RAID Function
CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type II Module User’s Manual
(2)-2 Set CDROM for First Boot Device under the Advanced
BIOS Features menu to boot CD-ROM after system restarts
(Figure 2).
Figure 2
(2)-3 Save and exit the BIOS Setup.
(3) Configuring RAID by the RAID BIOS
Enter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array.
Configuring SATA for RAID Function
67
CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type-II Module User’s Manual
(3)-1 After the POST memory testing and before the operating
system booting, a message "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter
Configuration Utility" (as Figure 3) shows up, accordingly,
press <CTRL+ I> to enter the RAID BIOS setup utility.
Figure 3
(3)-2 After you press <CTRL+ I>, the Create RAID Volume screen
will appear (as Figure 4). If you want to create a RAID array,
select the Create RAID Volume option in the Main Menu and
press ENTER.
Figure 4
68

CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type II Module User’s Manual
(3)-3 After entering the CREAT VOLUME MENU screen, you can
type the disk array name with 1~16 letters (letters cannot be
special characters) in the item “Name”. When finished, press
ENTER to select a RAID level (as Figure 5). There are two
RAID levels, RAID0 and RAID1. Select a RAID level and
press ENTER.
Figure 5
(3)-4 Set the stripe block size (as Figure 6). The KB is the standard
unit of stripe block size. The stripe block size can be 4KB to
128KB. After the setting, press ENTER for the array capacity.

(3)-5 After setting all the items on the menu, select Create Volume
and press ENTER (as Figure 7) to start creating the RAID
array.
Figure 7
(3)-6 When prompting the confirmation, press “Y“ to create this
volume, or “N“ to cancel the creation.

After the creation is completed, you can see detailed information about
the RAID Array in the DISK/VOLUME INFORMATION section,
including RAID mode, disk block size, disk name, disk capacity, etc.

Delete RAID Volume
If you want to delete a RAID volume, select the Delete RAID Volume
option in Main Menu. Press ENTER and follow on-screen instructions.

Please press [ESC] to exit the ICH7MR RAID BIOS utility.
Now, you can proceed to install a SATA controller and the operating
system.
(4) Making a SATA Driver Disk
To install the operating system onto a serial ATA hard disk successfully,
you need to install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation.
Without the driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the
Windows setup process. First of all, please format a blank floppy disk.
Secondly, follow up these steps below to produce a SATA driver disk.
(4)-1 Users can insert the Driver CD and the formatted blank floppy
disk in another system. And then, please execute the
f6flpy32.exe file in the folder of the Driver CD.
Note Please execute the f6flpy64.exe file, if installing 64-
bit Windows Operating System.
(4)-2 When this screen pops out, please click the “CONFIRM” button.
72
Configuring SATA for RAID Function
CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type II Module User’s Manual
(4)-3 When the Driver is written to the floppy disk, the SATA driver
disk is completed.
(5) Installing the SATA controller driver during the OS installation
Now, the SATA driver disk is ready, and BIOS settings configured, you
can proceed to install Windows XP onto your SATA hard drive using
the SATA driver. Here is an example for Windows XP installation.

73
CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type-II Module User’s Manual
(5)-1 Restart your system to boot the Windows XP Setup disk, and
press F6 button as soon as you see the message "Press F6 if
you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver" (as
Figure 11). After pressing the F6 button, there will be a few
moments for some files being loaded before next screen
appears.
Figure 11
(5)-2 When you see the screen below, insert the floppy disk
containing the SATA driver and press “S” (as Figure 12).
Figure 12
74

CEM830 COM ExpressTM Type II Module User’s Manual
(5)-3 If the Setup correctly recognizes the driver of the floppy disk,
a controller menu (as Figure 13) will appear below. Use the
ARROW keys to select Intel(R) 82801 GHM SATA RAID
Controller (Mobile ICH7MDH) and press ENTER. Then it will
begin to load the SATA driver from the floppy disk.
Figure 13
Note
If a message on the screen saying that one or some
file(s) cannot be found, please check the floppy disk or
copy the correct SATA driver again from the driver CD.

(5)-4 When the screen appears as below, press ENTER to
continue installing the SATA driver through the floppy disk. It
will take about one minute to finish the driver installation.
