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.

 To avoid injury, be careful of:

Sharp pins on headers and connectors
Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis
Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

NSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Step 1: Pull the socket locking out from the socket and then raise the

lever up to a 90-degree angel.

Step 2: Look for the white triangle on socket, and the gold triangle on

CPU should point towards this white triangle. The CPU will fit only
in the correct orientation.

notice. For better performance, the software is being continuously updated.
Note2: The information and pictures described below are for your reference only. The actual
information and settings on board may be slightly different from this manual.

TOverclocker

TOverclocker presents a simple Windows-based system performance enhancement
and manageability utility. It features several powerful and easy to use tools such as
Overclocking for enhancing system performance, also for special enhancement on
CPU and Memory. Smart-Fan management and PC health are for monitoring system
status. This utility also allows you to make overclocking profiles saving unlimitedly, and
pre-set OC modes are for easy OC. (The screenshots below are for reference only)

The CPU tab provides information on the CPU and motherboard.

The Memory tab provides information on the memory module(s).

You can select memory module on a specific slot to see its information.

The OC Tweaker tab allows you to save or load the OC setting profiles,

change system frequency and voltage settings.

The HW Monitor tab allows you to monitor hardware voltage, fan

speed, and temperature. You can also set CPU Smart Fan function in this tab.

Note1: Not all types of CPU perform above overclock setting ideally; the difference will be based on
the selected CPU model.
Note2: Overclock is an optional process, but not a “must-do” process; it is not recommended for
inexperienced users. Therefore, we will not be responsible for any hardware damage which may be
caused by overclocking. We also would not guarantee any overclocking performance.
Note3: Press TOVERCLOCKER logo, it will display information about manufacturer and software

6.4 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.

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.

34

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.

2. Wait for seconds.

3. Power on the system again.

6.5 RAID DEFINITIONS

RAID 0:

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.
 Total Capacity: (Minimal. HDD Capacity) x (Connected HDDs Amount)

RAID 1:

In a RAID 0 system data are split up in blocks that get
written across all the drives in the array. By using multiple
disks (at least 2) at the same time, this offers superior I/O
performance. This performance can be enhanced further
by using multiple controllers, ideally one controller per
disk.

36

Data are stored twice by writing them to both the data
disk (or set of data disks) and a mirror disk (or set of
disks). If a disk fails, the controller uses either the data
drive or the mirror drive for data recovery and continues
operation. You need at least 2 disks for a RAID 1 array.

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 .

Hi-Fi A85W 3D

RAID 10:

RAID 10 combines the advantages (and
disadvantages) of RAID 0 and RAID 1 in
one single system. It provides security
by mirroring all data on a secondary set
of disks (disk 3 and 4 in the drawing
below) while using striping across each
set of disks to speed up data transfers.

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 simultaneously 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 .

RAID 5:

A RAID 5 array can withstand a single
disk failure without losing data or access
to data. Although RAID 5 can be
achieved in software, a hardware
controller is recommended. Often extra
cache memory is used on these
controllers to improve the write
performance.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 3.
 Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general purpose

service.

 Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good fault tolerance, and high

capacity and storage efficiency.

 Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write

performance can be CPU intensive.
Fault Tolerance: Yes .
