Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.

1. The UST500-517-FL does not come with an operating system which must be loaded first
before installation of any software into the computer.

2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing any internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the UST500-517-FL prior to making any installation. Be
sure both the system and all external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power
could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the UST500-517-FL is properly grounded.

4. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting it to any power
outlet.

5. Turn OFF system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not
spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.

6. Do not leave equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage temperature
is below -40℃ or above 80℃ as it may damage the equipment.

7. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:

 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the

system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help discharge any static electricity on
human body.

 When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap available from

most electronic component stores.

General Cleaning Tips

Please keep the following precautions in mind while understanding the details fully before and
during any cleaning of the computer and any components within.

A piece of dry cloth is ideal to clean the device.

1. Be cautious of any tiny removable components when using a vacuum cleaner to absorb
dirt on the floor.

2. Turn the system off before clean up the computer or any components within.

3. Avoid dropping any components inside the computer or getting circuit board damp or wet.

4. For cleaning, be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals which may cause
allergy to certain individuals.

5. Keep foods, drinks or cigarettes away from the computer.

Cleaning Tools:

Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning
computer and peripherals, users can also use house hold items accordingly for cleaning.
Listed below are items available for cleaning computer or computer peripherals.

Pay special attention to components requiring designated products for cleaning as mentioned
below.

 Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although

paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, it is recommended to use
a piece of cloth.

 Water or rubbing alcohol: A piece of cloth may be somewhat moistened with water or

rubbing alcohol before being rubbed on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful
to plastic parts.

 Vacuum dust, dirt, hair, cigarette and other particles out of a computer can be one of the

best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time these items may restrict the airflow in a
computer and cause circuitry to corrode.

 Cotton swabs: Cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are applicable to

reach areas in keyboard, mouse and other areas.

 Foam swabs: If possible, it is better to use lint free swabs such as foam swabs.

【Note】: It is strongly recommended that the user should shut down the system before

starting to clean any single component.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Close all application programs;

2. Close operating software;

3. Turn off power switch;

4. Remove all devices;

5. Pull out the power cable.

WATCHDOG TIMER

About Watchdog Timer

Software stability is a major issue in most applications. Some embedded systems are not
watched by humans for 24 hours. It is usually too slow to wait for someone to reboot when a
computer hangs. The system needs to be able to reset automatically when things go wrong.
The watchdog timer gives us solutions in this regard.

The watchdog timer is a counter that triggers a system to reset when it counts down to zero
from a preset value. The software starts the counter with an initial value and must reset it
periodically. If the counter ever reaches zero, it means the software has crashed, the system
will reboot.

Sample Program

The following example enables configurations using debug tool.

CONFIGURING SATA FOR RAID

Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) for RAID (Controller: Intel® Q170)

Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare four SATA hard drives (to ensure
optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard drives with the identical model
and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA controller, you may prepare
only one hard drive.

Please follow 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 using the RAID BIOS.

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 an available SATA port 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).

2.1. Turn on your system, and then press the <Del> button to enter BIOS Setup during running

POST (Power-On Self-Test). If you want to create RAID, just go to the Advanced Settings
menu\SATA Configuration, select the “SATA Mode Selection”, and press <Enter> for
more options.

A list of options appears. Please select “Intel RST Premium”.

2.2. Save and exit the BIOS Setup.

3. Configuring RAID by the RAID BIOS.

Enter the RAID BIOS setup utility to configure a RAID array. Skip this step and proceed if you
do not want to create a RAID.

3.1. After the POST memory testing and before the operating system booting, a message

"Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration Utility" shows up. Press <Ctrl + I> to enter the RAID
BIOS setup utility.

3.2. After you press <Ctrl + I>, the Create RAID Volume screen will appear. If you want to

create a RAID array, select the Create RAID Volume option in the Main Menu and press
<Enter>.

3.3. After entering the Create Volume Menu screen, you can type the disk array name with

1~16 letters (letters cannot be special characters) in the item “Name:”.

3.4. When finished, press <Enter> to select a RAID level. There are three RAID levels: RAID0,

RAID1, RAID5 and RAID10. Select a RAID level and press <Enter>.

3.5. Set the stripe block size. 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.

3.6. After setting all the items on the menu, select Create Volume and press <Enter> to start

creating the RAID array.

3.7. When prompting the confirmation, press <Y> to create this volume, or <N> to cancel the

creation.

After the creation is completed, you will 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 RAID BIOS utility. Now, you can proceed to install a SATA
driver controller and the operating system.
