The board comes with the VIA embedded chipset of CN700, supports DDR 333/400
SDRAM, integrated the S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro IGP graphics core, hardware MPEG-2
acceleration.
The VT8237R Plus provides the board to support Ultra V-Link (533MB/s) with CN700, two
serial ATA ports with RAID array function, 6 x USB2.0 ports and 5.1 channel AC97 audio.
Multimedia solution
Based on VIA CN700 chipset, the board provides 18/24-bit LVDS interface or DVI, which
supports dual independent display with CRT.
Onboard AC97 codec provides the high quality of sound including 5.1-channel stereo
DACs.
Two LAN Interface
LV-669 also comes with two Giga LAN interface, support boot-on-LAN and wake-on-LAN
function.
High Speed Hot-plug Interface
Based on VIA VT8237R Plus the board provides 6 USB2.0 interfaces with up to 480Mbps of
transferring rate.
Expanded UCR for remote Operating SETUP Bios Feature
Expanded Universal Console Redirection (UCR) is a feature for monitoring POST
messages and running Setup and an operation system from a remote serial terminal.

LV-669 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 LV-669X, 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.

Chapter 3 <System Configuration>
3.1 <SATA RAID Configuration>
The board supports two Serial ATA ports onboard, and supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD disk
array, the RAID 0, 1 and JBOD are specified 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.
JBOD (Span): As different as RAID 0, the JBOD combines two disks as one without any
fault tolerance and I/O performance enhancement.
To build Serial ATA disk array, please press <TAB> while booting up the system before
entering OS, and follow the instructions to edit the RAID function.
