CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INS TALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CEN TRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Remove the socket protection cap.
Step 2: Pull the lever toward directi on A from the socket and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 3: 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 th e cor r ec t or i en tation.

4.2 RAID ARRAYS
RAI D supports the following ty pes of R AID array s :
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defin es t echniques for mirrori ng data.
4.3 HOW RA ID WORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RA ID 0 array system. It b reaks
up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple
drives in parallel. The size o f 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 time and o ffers high bandwidth.
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and max imum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the
platform.
Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high dat a throughput, or any
environment that does not require fault tolerance.
Benefits: provides increas ed dat a throughput, espec ially f or large f iles. No
capac ity loss penalty for parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array
fails, all dat a is lost.
Faul t Tolerance: No.

RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually 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 v olume or dri ve i s corrupted or becomes unavailable b ecause of a h ardware
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 max imum is 2.
Uses: RAID 1 is ideal f or small dat abas es or any ot her applicat ion t hat
requires f aul t tolerance and minimal ca paci t y.
Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e fail, the
controller switche s to the other dri ve.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the st orage space of one driv e.
Performance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.
Fa ult To le rance : Yes.

5.3 EXT RA INFORMATION
A. BIOS Update
After yo u fail to update BIOS or BIOS is invaded by virus, the
Boot-Block function will help to restore BIOS. If the following message
is shown after boot-up the system, i t means the BIOS contents are
corrupted.
In thi s Case, please follow the procedure below to restore the BIOS:
1. Mak e a bootab le floppy d is k.
2. Download the Flash Utility “AWDFLASH.exe” from the Biostar
website: www.bi o star.com.tw
3. Confirm motherboard model and download the respecti vely BIOS
fr om Bi os t ar websit e.
4. Copy “AWDFLASH.exe” and respectivel y BIOS into floppy disk.
5. Insert the bootable disk into floppy drive and press Enter.
6. System will boot-u p to DOS prompt.
7. Type “Awdflash xxxx.bf/ sn/p y/ r” in DOS prompt.
(xxxx means BIOS name.)
8. System will update BIOS au to matic ally and restart .
9. The BIOS has been re cov ered an d will work p roperly.

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
automati cally to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not
power on again.
In thi s case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated no rmally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protecti on
function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wait for sec onds.
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 sec onds.
3. Power on th e syst em agai n.
