CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
Supports Windows XP H ome/Professional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
RAID supports the f ollowing types of RAI D arrays:
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines tech niques fo r mirroring data.
4.3 HOW RAID WORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stri pes” dat a across mu ltiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple
drives in p arallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This
technique reduces overall disk access ti me and offers hi gh bandwidth.
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and max imum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the
platform.
Uses: I ntended for non-critic al data requiring high data throughput, or any
env ironment that does not require f ault tolerance.
Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, especially f or large files. No
capacity loss penalty for parity.
Drawbacks: D oes not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in t he array
f ails, all data is lost.
Fault Tolerance : No.

Block 3
Block 5
Block 2
Bl ock 4
Bl ock 6
17
Motherboard Manual
RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually carri ed out in p arallel 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 volu me or drive i s corrupted or b ecomes unavailable because of a hardware
failure.
RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of
automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less
reliable media.
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
Uses: R AID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application t hat
requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive f ail, the
controller switches to t he ot her drive.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 driv es for t he storage space of one driv e.
Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.
Faul t Tolerance: Yes.

5.3 EXT RA INFORMATION
A. BIOS Update
After you fail to update BIOS or BIOS is i nvaded by virus, the
Boot-Block function will help to restore BIOS. If the following message
is shown after boot-up the system, it means the BIOS contents are
corrupted.
In this Case, please follow the procedure below to restore the BIOS:
1. Make a bootable floppy disk.
2. Download the Flash Utility “AWDFLASH.exe” from the Biostar
website: www.biostar.com.tw
3. Confirm motherboard model and download the respectively BIOS
from Biostar website.
4. Copy “AWDFLASH.exe” and respectively BIOS into floppy disk.
5. Insert the bootable disk into floppy drive and press Enter.
6. System will boot-up to DOS prompt.
7. Type
“Awdfla sh xxxx.bf/ sn/py/ r” in DOS prompt.
(
xxxx means BIOS name.)
8. System will update BIOS automatically and restart.
9. The BIOS has been recovered and will work properly.
20
K8M800 Micro AM2
B. 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 . Wa i t f o r se c o nd s.
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 . Wa i t f o r se c o nd s.
3. Po wer on the syste m ag ai n.

CHAPTER 6: WARPSPEEDER™
6.1 INTRODUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset
information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
shown on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the
original system speed or a suitable one.
6.2 SYS TEM REQUIREMENT
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system
includes DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install
DirectX 8.1.)
