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.

3.2 Installing the Memory
The board supports four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM memory sockets with
maximum memory capacity up to 2GB.
Please follow steps below to install the memory modules:
1 Push down latches on each side of the DIMM socket.
2 Align the memory module with the socket that notches of
memory module must match the socket keys for a correct
intallation.
3 Install the memory module into the socket and push it firmly

PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS UTILITY
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.
5.1 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:

Windows ME and Windows 2000, you can choose to enter the
Standby mode in S1 (POS) or S3 (STR) fashion through the setting
of this field. Options are:
[S1(POS)] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this
state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and
hardware maintains all system context.
[S3(STR)] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where
the information of system configuration and open

When you select this function, the following message will appear at the
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type a maximum eight-character password, and press <Enter>. This
typed password will clear previously entered password from the CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm this password. Type this
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to
abort this selection and not enter a password.
To disable the password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter a password. A message will confirm the password is getting
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you
can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter
the Setup. It prevents any unauthorized persons from changing your
system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots. This would
prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You decide when the password is required for the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to
“System”, the password is required during booting up and entry into the
Setup; if it is set as “Setup”, a prompt will only appear before entering
the Setup.

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).

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.
(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.
(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
