EFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the
motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

 Prepare a dry and stable working environment with

sufficient lighting.

 Always disconnect the computer from power outlet

before operation.

 Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static

bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely
grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to
remove the static charge.

 Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the

rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board
on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

 Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the

case after installation. Loose parts will cause short
circuits which may damage the equipment.

 Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat

source, humid air and water.

 The operating temperatures of the computer should be

0 to 45 degrees Celsius.

CHAPTER 5: RAID FUNCTIONS

A55ML+ /A55MG+

5.1 O

Supports Windows Vista and Windows 7.

PERATING SYSTEM

5.2 RAID ARRAYS

RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for

many applicat ions.

RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.

RAID 10: RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

5.3 HOW RAID WORKS

RAID 0:

The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large f ile into smal ler blo cks a nd pe rforms d isk re ads an d write s across multip le
drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set durin g the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This
technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the

platform.

 Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any

environment that does not require fault tolerance.

 Benefits: provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No

capacity loss penalty for parity.

 Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array

fails, all data is lost.

 Fault Tolerance: No.

Blo ck 3
Blo ck 5

Block 2
Blo ck 4
Blo ck 6

19

Motherboard Manual

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actua lly carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a
second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the
active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.

RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solut ions, or as a form of automatic
backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable
media.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
 Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that

requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.

 Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the

controller switches to the other drive.

 Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.

Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes .

A55ML+ /A55MG+

RAID 10:

RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 10
solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.
 Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for

automatic redundancy. May be si multaneously used with other RAID levels
in an array, and allows for spare disks.

 Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy,

the same as RAID level 1.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes .

BIOS Update Utility

BIOS Update Utility is a convenient utility which allows you to update your
motherboard BIOS under Windows system. Please refer to the detailed
instructions in the section 6.1 BIOS Update Utility of Chapter 6.

6.3 EXTRA INFORMATION

CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for
seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown
automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not
power on again.

In this case, please double check:

1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.

2. CPU fan is rotated normally.

3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection
function.

1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.

2. Wait for seconds.

3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

Or you can:

1. Clear the CMOS data.
(See “Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1” section)

2. Wait for seconds.

3. Power on the system again.

6 Keyboard controller BAT command failed

7 General exception error (processor exception interrupt error)

8 Display memory error (system video adapter)

“AMIBOOT.ROM” file not found in root directory of diskette in
A:

BIOS ROM image mismatch (file layout does not match
image present in flash device)

Troubleshooting POST BIOS Beep Codes

Number of Beeps Trouble shooting Action

1, 3 Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules.

Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system.
Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the
motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of
interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all
expansion cards except the video adapter.

6, 7

If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the
video adapter. If the video adapter is an integrated part of the system board, the board
may be faulty.

26

z If beep codes are generated when all other expansion

cards are absent, consult your system manufacturer’s
technical support.

z If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion

cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the
malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a
time until the problem happens again. This will reveal the
malfunctioning card.

6.5 TROUBLESHOOTING

Probable Solution

1. There is no power in the system.
Power LED does not shine; the
fan of the power supply does not
work

2. Indicator light on keyboard does
not shine.

System is inoperative. Keyboard lights
are on, power indicator lights are lit,
and hard drives are running.

System does not boot from a hard disk
drive, but can be booted from optical
drive.

System only boots from an optical
drive. Hard disks can be read,
applications can be used, but system
fails to boot from a hard disk.

Screen message shows “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

System cannot boot after user installs a
second hard drive.

A55ML+ /A55MG+

1. Make sure power cable is
securely plugged in.

2. Replace cable.

3. Contact technical support.

Using even pressure on both ends of
the DIMM, press down firmly until the
module snaps into place.

1. Check cable running from disk to
disk controller board. Make sure
both ends are securely plugged
in; check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard
disks are capable of breaking
down at any time.

1. Back up data and applications
files.

2. Reformat the hard drive.
Re-install applications and data
using backup disks.

Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.

1. Set master/slave jumpers
correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility
with other drives.
