Optimal configurations for highest performance:

–Matched, DDR400, Double-sided DIMMs

–Dual Channel Mode (Symmetrical DIMM population)

–Matched, DDR400, Dual Channel Mode

When not using DDR400, highest performing configuration:

–Symmetrical DIMM population with matched double-sided DIMMs

–Lightly loaded memory population aids in higher performance

–x8 Bus Width and lower DIMM cache latency also assists in higher performance

Dual Channel memory configuration provides higher performance than Single

The power cord leading from the system's power supply to the external power

source must be the very last part connected when assembling a system. The ATX

power supply provides a single 20-pin connector interface, which incorporates

standard +/-5V, +/-12V, optional 3.3V and Soft-power signals. The Soft power signal,

a 5V trickle supply is continuously supplied when AC power is available. When the

system is in Soft-Off mode, this trickle supply maintains the system in its minimum

power state.

The ATX 12V power supply has a new +12V (4-pin) and +5V / 3.3V (6-pin)

auxiliary power connector to enable the delivery of more +12 VDC and + 5/ 3.3V

VDC current to the motherboard.

Power-On By Modem:

While in Soft-Off state, if an external modem ring-up signal is detected, the system

will be activated and therefore can be remotely accessed. You may enable this

function in BIOS's Power Management Setup menu. (See section

3. 5

)

Chapter 2

Blinking LED in Suspend Mode:

While in Suspend mode, the LED light on the front panel of your computer will

flash. Suspend mode is entered by pressing the Green Override Power Button

your ATX case, or by enabling the Power Management and Suspend Mode options

in BIOS's Power Management menu. (See section

3.5

)

Poly-fuse Over Current Protection:

The poly-fuse protects the system from dangerous voltages that the system might be

exposed to via keyboards or USB connectors. In case of such an exposure, the

poly-fuse will immediately be disconnected from the circuit just like a normal fuse.

After being disconnected for a certain period of time, the poly-fuse will return to its

normal state and the keyboard or USB connector can function properly again.

Unlike conventional fuses, the poly-fuse will not need to be replaced, relieving users

from such inconveniences.

2. P-LED (Power LED Connector):

The power indicator LED shows the system's power status. It is important to pay

attention to the correct cables and pin orientation (i.e. Be careful not to reverse the

order of these two connectors.)

3. G-BTN/G-LED (Green Button Switch/LED Connector):

Some ATX cases provide a Green button switch, which is used to put the system in

Suspend mode. While in Suspend mode, the power supply to the system is reduced

to a trickle, the CPU clock is stopped, and the CPU core is in its minimum power

state. The system is activated whenever the keyboard or mouse is touched. The

system will resume in various ways as defined by Power Management Setup screen

in BIOS.

For Green LED connector please refer to Section 2.7 CBOX™ 3

4. RESET (System Reset Switch Connector):

This connector should be connected to the reset switch on the front panel of the

system case. The reset switch allows you to restart the system without turning the

power off.

5. SPEAKER (Speaker Connector):

This 4-pin connector connects to the case-mounted speakers.

6. HD-LED (IDE - Activity LED Connector):

The IDE- activity LED lights up whenever the system reads/writes to the IDE

devices.

FD1 (Floppy Connector)

PWR-SW

The power button on the ATX chassis can be used as a normal power switch as

well as a device to activate the Advanced Power Management Suspend mode. This

is a power-saving mode used for saving electricity when the computer is not in use

for a long period of time. The Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function in BIOS's Power

Management Setup menu must be set to [Delay 4 Sec.] to activate this function.

When the Soft-OFF by PWR-BTTN function is enabled, pressing the power button

rapidly will switch the system to Suspend mode. Any occurrence of external

activities such as pressing any keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse will

bring the system back to Full-On. Pushing the button while in Full-On mode for

enter BIOS and change BIOS settings. When the Security Option function is set to

System, a password is required to enter both BIOS and computer's operating system

(For example, Windows 98) found on the boot drive.

The third and fourth variables are user password and supervisor password selected in

BIOS (Figure 3-1). The main purpose of separating users and supervisors is to allow

only the supervisor to have control over the BIOS settings. The user, on the other

hand, is only allowed to access computer's operating system and change the user

password in BIOS.

A-2 Intel® Application Accelerator RAID

Overview

The Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition is designed to provide high

performance functionality for the Intel® 82801ER SATA RAID Controller. This

product is available to enhance performance on Intel® Pentium® 4 processor-based

systems with an Intel® 82801ER I/O Controller Hub and running Microsoft*

Appendix

Windows* XP*.

Software installation is flexible and fully automated for Microsoft Windows XP

Home Edition and Windows XP Professional operating systems.

* Other brands and names may be claimed as the property of others.

RAID Overview

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) refers to multiple independent hard

drives combined to form one large logical array. With RAID in place, the operating

system (e.g. Windows* XP*) no longer deals with individual drives, but instead with

the entire disk array as one logical drives.

The major objectives of RAID are to improve data availability and security. This

version of the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition supports RAID Level 0.

RAID Levels 1, 4, 5, and 10 are currently not supported.

Installation CAUTION:



When setting up RAID configurations and creating a

volume, it is important to understand that installing the Intel® Application

Accelerator RAID Edition on a system will DELETE ALL EXISTING DATA

from the RAID-controlled hard drive(s) and the data cannot be recovered. It is

important to backup all important data before proceeding with installation.

Uninstall CAUTION:



It is important to understand that uninstalling the Intel®

Application Accelerator RAID Edition from a RAID-configured system will

DELETE ALL EXISTING DATA from the RAID-controlled hard drive(s) and

the data cannot be recovered. It is important to backup all important data before

uninstalling.

RAID Levels – How the Drives are organized

Each level of RAID spreads the data across the drives of the array in different way

and is optimized for specific situations.

RAID 0

RAID Level 0 combines two or more hard drives in a way that the data coming from

the user is cut into manageable blocks. These blocks are striped across the different

drives of the RAID 0 array. By doing this, two or more hard drives are combined and

the read/write performance, especially for sequential access, can be improved.

However, no redundancy information is stored in a RAID 0 array, which means that if

one hard drive fails, all data is lost. This lack of redundancy is also stated in the

number 0, which indicates no redundancy. RAID 0 is thus usually not used in servers

where security is a concern.

RAID 0 Advantage: Highest transfer rates

RAID 0 Disadvantage: No redundancy – if one disk fails, all data will be lost

RAID 0 Application: Typically used in workstations for temporary data and high

I/O rate
