CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.
Pin Cap
Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Motherboard Manual
Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will
fit only in the correct orientation.
Step 2-1:
Step 2-2:
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked position to complete the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it
on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
z Supports Windows XP Home/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Prof essional.
4.2 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 applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.
4.3HOW RAID WORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple 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 parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set during the creation ofthe RAID set based on the systemenvironment. This technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the platf orm.
Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any
env ironment that does not requiref ault tolerance.
Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, especially f or large files. No
capacity loss penalty f or parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array f ails, all data is lost.
Fault Tolerance: No.

P4M900-M7 SE/P4M890-M7 TE
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 ofthe 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 ofa 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.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
Uses: RAID 1 is idealf or small databases or any other application that requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv ef ail, the controller switches to the other drive.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 driv es for the storage space of one driv e. Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.

5.3EXTRA 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.

CHAPTER 6: WARPSPEEDER™ III
6.1INTRODUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™ III], 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, VGA 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™ III] 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.
6.2SYSTEM 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.)
23
Motherboard Manual
6.3INSTALLATION
1.Execute the setup execution file, and then the following dialog will pop up. Please click “Next” button and follow the default procedure to install.
2.When you see the following dialog in setup procedure, it means setup is completed. Click “Finish” button.
Usage:
The following figures are only for reference, the screen printed in this user manual will change according to your motherboard on hand.

6.4WARPSPEEDER™ III
1.Desktop Icon:
After the [WarpSpeeder™ III] has been installed, a [WarpSpeeder™ III] icon will appear on the desktop, just like the icon shown below.
Now you can launch the [WarpSpeeder™ III] utility simply by double-clicking the desktop icon.
2. Main Panel
If you double-click the desktop icon, [WarpSpeeder™ III] will be
launched. Please refer to the following figure; the utility’s first window you will see is Main Panel.
Main Panel contains features as follows:
a.Display the CPU Speed, CPU external clock, Memory clock, VGA clock, and PCI clock information.
b.ContainsAbout, Voltage/Overclock, and Hardware Monitor Buttons for invoking respective panels. The On/Off button is for closing the program.
25
Motherboard Manual
3. Overclock/Overvoltage Panel
Click the Overclock/Overvoltage button in the Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock/Overvoltage Panel will show
up as the following figure. As you can see, the Overclock Panel is on the right side, and the Overvoltage Panel is on the left side.
26
P4M900-M7 SE/P4M890-M7 TE
Overclock Panel contains these features:
a.“Auto-Overclock”:
User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™ III] will set the best and stable performance and frequency automatically. A warning
dialog as below will show up to notify you that the system may become unstable, click on “OK” to proceed.
Then [WarpSpeeder™ III] utility will execute a series of testing
until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, launch the [WarpSpeeder™ III]
utility again and the utility will load the previously verified best and stable frequency.
b.“Verify”:
If you use the “Manual Adjust” bar to adjust the CPU frequency,
then you can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™ III] will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current
frequency will be saved into system registry. If the testing fails, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot, the
[WarpSpeeder™ III] utility will restore to the hardware default setting.
Warning:
Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the
ov erclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you
v erify ev ery speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can just click Auto ov erclock button and let [WarpSpeeder™ III] automatically gets the best result f ory ou.
c.“V3 Engine”/“V6 Engine”/“V9 Engine”:
Provide user the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment.
d.“Recovery”:
Click this button and the [WarpSpeeder™ III] utility will restore all values to the hardware default setting.
