Chapter1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LS-572 is the motherboard with last Intel desktop technology with 5.25 Embedded form
factor. Based on Intel® Q35 and ICH9DO, the board integrates a new Core 2 Quad/ Core2
Duo/ Celeron processor 775-pin socket, DDR2 memory socket, Intel® Graphic Media
Accelerator 3000 technology, Serial ATA II with RAID function for a powerful desktop
system.
Intel
® LGA775 processor
The Intel® Core 2 Quad/ Core 2 Duo/Celeron processor now comes with a new form factor
with 775-pin LGA package, for 800/1066/1333MHz front-side-bus, 4MB L2 cache, and for
65nm 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) 3000 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 6 USB2.0
interfaces , and serial ATA II interface with RAID function.
Flexible Extension Interface
The board provides one PCI-slot for graphics card, it also can support PCI-slot for LAN card
or other devices. The board also provides mini-PCI socket.

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 assignment of the connector to make a c able, becaus e
every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; ple ase fin d
a local cable manufacture to make cables.
LCD Installation Guide:
1. Preparing the LS-572, 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 +12V, 5V or +3.3V.

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.
-36-
LS-572 User’s Manual
3.2 <SATA RAID Configuration>
The board integrates Intel® ICH8DO 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.

Based on Intel® Q35 chipset with GMA (Graphic Media Accelerator) 3000, 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 3000 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.
