Quad/Duo/Celeron processor 775-pin socket, DDR2 memory socket, Intel® Graphic Media
Accelerator 3100 technology, Serial ATA II with RAID function for a powerful desktop
system.

Intel

® LGA775 processor

The Intel® Core 2 Quad/Duo processor now comes with a new form factor with 775-pin LGA
package, for 800/1066/1333MHz front-side-bus, 12MB L2 cache, and for 65nm, 45nm
manufacturing technology, the LGA processor without pin header on solder side can make
user installing the processor on the socket easier.

Intel

® Q35 and ICH9DO chipset

The Intel Q35 integrates DDR2 667/800MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator
(GMA) 3100 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 384MB of frame buffer
when you install over 1GB of system memory. The ICH9DO integrates with up to 8 USB2.0
interfaces, and serial ATA II interface with RAID function.

FS-97D User’s Manual Hardware Setup

To setup the LCD, you need the component below:

1. A panel with LVDS interfaces.

2. An inverter for panel’s backlight power.

3. A LCD cable and an inverter cable.

For the cables, please follow the pin assignm ent of the connector to make a cable, because
every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; please find a
local cable manufacture to make cables.

LCD Installation Guide:

1. Preparing the FS-97D, LCD panel and the backlight inverter.

2. Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set the
jumper JVLCD to +5V or +3.3V.

3. You would need a LVDS type cable.

FS-97D User’s Manual System Configuration

Chapter 3 <System Configuration>

3.1 <SATA configuration>

SA TA Mode:

This option can let you select whether the Serial ATA hard drives would work under normal
IDE mode or RAID mode. The RAID mode need more than one HDD is applied.

SATA Configuration 39

FS-97D User’s Manual System Configuration

3.2 <SATA RAID Configuration>

The board integrates Intel® ICH9DO with RAID function for Serial ATA II drives, and
supports the configurations below:
RAID 0 (Stripping): Two hard drives operating as one drive for optimized data R/W
performance. It needs two unused drives to build this operation.
RAID 1 (Mirroring): Copies the data from first drive to second drive for data security, and if
one drive fails, the system would access the applications to the workable drive. It needs two
unused drives or one used and one unused driv e to build this operation. The second drive
must be the same or lager size than first one.

RAID 5 (striping with parity)

A RAID 5 array contains three or more hard drives where the data is divided into
manageable blocks called strips. Parity is a mathematical method for recreating data that
was lost from a single drive, which increases fault-tolerance. The data and parity are striped
across all the hard drives in the array. The parity is striped in a rotating sequence to reduce
bottlenecks associated with the parity calculations.

RAID 10 (RAID 0+1)

A RAID 10 array uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID levels 0 and 1. The
data is striped across a two-drive array forming the RAID 0 component. Each of the drives
in the RAID 0 array is then mirrored by a RAID 1 component.
Intel Matrix Storage Technology: This technology would allow you to use RAID 0+1 mode
on only two drives (4 drives needed on traditional RAID 0+1). It will create two partitions on
each hard drive to simulate RAID 0 and RAID 1. It also can let you modify the partition size
without re-formatted.

For more information of Intel Matrix Storage Technology, please visit Intel’s website.

If you need to install an operation system on the RAID set, please use the driver disk
attached in the package when it informs you to obtain the RAID drivers.

SATA RAID Configuration 40

FS-97D User’s Manual System Configuration

Please press <CTRL+I> to enter the RAID configuration menu.
You can setup the RAID under operation system for Microsoft® Windows XP SP1 or
Windows 2000 SP4 version, please install the Intel® Application Accelerator Ver.4.5 later to
support RAID configuration with Intel® Matrix Storage Techn olo gy.

1. After installing Intel Application Accelerator, please execute Intel® Storage Utility.

3. Please select two hard drives to prepare to set the RAID volume

4. Specify the Volume size

Tune this bar to specify
the volume size, if you
specify the volume size
lower than maximum,
you can create a second
volume for another
RAID set.
(Make RAID 0+1 on only
two hard drives)

5. Repeat the step 1 to create second volume as RAID Level 1.

2-channel sound under system configuration. Please follow the steps below to setup your
sound system.

1. Install REALTEK HD Audio driver.

2. Lunch the control panel and Sound Effect Manager.

3. Select Speaker Configuration

4. Select the sound mode to meet your speaker system.

3.4 <Video Memory Setup>

Based on Intel® Q35 chipset with GMA (Graphic Media Accelerator) 3100, the board
supports Intel® DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) 3.0, which would allow the
video memory be triggered up to 384MB.
To support DVMT, you need to install the Intel GMA 3100 Driver with supported OS.

BIOS Setup:

On-Chip Video Memory Size: This option combines three items below for setup.
On-Chip Frame Buffer Size:

This item can let you select video memory which been allocated for legacy VGA and SVGA
graphics support and compatibility. The available option is 1MB and 8MB.

Fixed Memory Size:

This item can let you select a static amount of page-locked graphics memory which will be
allocated during driver initialization. Once you select the memory amount, it will be no
longer available for system memory.

DVMT Memory Size:

This item can let you select a maximum size of dynamic amount usage of video memory,
the system would configure the video memory depends on your appl ication, this item is
strongly recommend to be selected as MAX DVMT.

Chapter 4 <BIOS Setup>

The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award
BIOS in the single board computer is a customized version of the industrial standard
BIOS for IBM PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and compatible CPU
architecture based processors and computers. The BIOS provides critical low-level
support for the system central processing, memory and I/O sub-systems.

The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the
basic configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed
memory, NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery
runs out of the power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.

The BIOS section of the manual is subject to change without notice and is provided here
for reference purpose only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at
the time of print, and therefore they may not be exactly the same as that displayed on
your screen.

To activate CMOS Setup program, press ＜DEL＞ key i mmediately after you turn on
the system. The following message “Press DEL to enter SETUP” should appear in the
lower left hand corner of your screen. When you enter the CMOS Setup Utility, the Main
Menu will be displayed as Figure 4-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function,
press ＜Enter＞ key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
