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 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 O
PERATING SYSTEM
Supports Windows Vista and Windows 7.
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.
RAID 10: RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault to lerance and better utilizat ion of disk capacity.
4.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large f ile into sma ller block s and per for ms disk re ads and writ es a cross mu ltip le
drives in parallel. 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 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 5
Block 2
Blo ck 4
Blo ck 6
Page 23
TP67XE
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 volume or drive is corrupted or becomes 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 reliab le
media.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
Uses:
Benefits:
Drawbacks:
Fault Tolerance:
RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that
requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the
controller switches to the other drive.
Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.
Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.
Yes .

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:
automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels
in an array, and allows for spare disks.
Drawbacks:
the same as RAID level 1.
Fault Tolerance:
Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for

TP67XE
RAID 5:
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes
data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained by
ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a different
drive from those used to store the data itself.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Mi ni mu m 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.

NOTE
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
woul d no t guarantee any overclocking performance.
B. Self Recovery System (S.R.S.)
This function can’t be seen under UEFI BIOS setup, and is always on whenever
the system starts up.
However, it can prevent system hang-up due to inappropriate overclock
actions.
When the system hangs up, S.R.S. will automatically log in the default UEFI
BIOS setting, and all overclock settings will be re-configured.
C. Smart Fan Function
Smart Fan Function is under “Smart Fan Control” in “Advanced Menu”.
This is a brilliant feature to control CPU/System Temperature vs. Fan speed.
When enabling Smart Fan function, Fan speed is controlled automatically by
CPU/System temperature.
This function will protect CPU/System from overheat problem and maintain the
system temperature at a safe level.

Green Power II Utility
BIOSTAR G.P.U II (Green Power Utility) is a new function. The utility enhances
energy efficiency by disabling extra phases while CPU is on light loading; it
features 4+1 power phases, current power saving, and toal power saving. This
tool integrates a friendly GUI to monitor your CPU Usage, CPU Watt, and CPU
Temperature. Moreover, it optimizes power saving and best power efficiency
on your system. (The illustration below is for reference only)

G.P.U Mode Setting
This utility provides five modes, upon your requirements, to improve
system performance or to save power consumption.
Note:Even if the modes saving more power consumption are chosen, the
system still can keep excellent performance.
Auto Phase Mode
System switches the mode automatically according to current system
loading condition.
Performance Mode
This is the mode saving power consumptio n most. Least energy will
be used in the system.
Typical Mode
Compared with that in Performance Mode, energy consumption in this
mode is a little bit more.
Medium Mode
This is the standard system power saving mode.
Maxi-Energy Mode
This is the best system performance mode.

6.2 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 shutdow n
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.

6.4 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.
TP67XE
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.
