Chapter 3. BIOS Setup
The BIOS is a boot program located in a Flash Memory chip on the mainboard. It
is used to communicate with the hardware before the operating system (OS) takes
the control of the system. Its main function is to manage the setup of the
motherboard and interface card parameters, including simple parameters such as
time, date, hard disk drive, as well as more complex parameters such as hardware
synchronization, device operating mode, and the operating speed of the CPU.
Warning
Don’t change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you
fully understand their meanings and consequences: The
parameters inside the BIOS are used to setup the hardware
synchronization or the device-operating mode. If the parameters
are not correct, they will produce errors, the computer will
crash, and sometimes you will not even be able to boot he
computer after it has crashed. We recommend that you do not
change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you are very
familiar with them. If you are not able to boot your computer
anymore, please refer to Chapter 2 Hardware Installation,
section 2-5 Jumpers -“Erase CMOS data”.
Press <Del> to enter BIOS setup
Immediately press the <Del> key after power up the system. This will let you
access into the BIOS Setup menu. If the post disappears before you response and
the OS (operation system) starts, please restart the system by using the “Start” or
“Reset” button on the chassis.

Note
A new IDE HDD must be first formatted, otherwise it can not

low-level format, then run FDISK, and then FORMAT the drive.
Most current HDDs have already been subjected to low-level
format at the factory, so you can probably skip this operation.
Remember though, the primary IDE HDD must have its
partition set to active within the FDISK procedure. If you are
using an old HDD that is already formatted, auto detection can
detect the correct parameters. You may need to do a low-level
format or set the parameters manually, and then check if the
HDD is working.

Chapter 5. Serial ATA Installation
(NA130-S / NA130-SN ONLY)
About Serial ATA
Serial ATA is an evolutionary replacement of the parallel ATA storage interface in
the desktop as well as the cost-sensitive server and network storage market
segments. The spec allows for thinner, more flexible cables and lower pin counts.
This will allow computer manufacturers to design systems with cables that are
simpler to route and install, improving thermal designs and facilitating smaller
form factor systems. It also enables easier, more flexible motherboard routing and
the use of smaller connectors than is possible with the existing parallel ATA
technology. The technology, will provide a storage interface that meets the needs of
computers for the next decade.
Important Data Protection Information
You should back up all data before installing any drive controller or storage
peripheral. LITE-ON Technology is not responsible for any loss of data resulting
from the use, disuse or misuse of this or any other LITE-ON Technology products.
Warning
The mainboard, like other parts of your system, is subject to
damage by static electricity. Be sure that you’re properly
grounded (LITE-ON recommends that you wear an anti-static
strap or touch a grounded object) and unplug your system before
starting any hardware installation.
