LV-672 User’s Manual Introduction
Chapter1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LV-672 is the motherboard with last Intel desktop technology with Mini-ITX form factor.
Based on Intel® 915G and ICH6R, the board integrates a new Pentium 4 processor 775-pin
socket, DDR2 memory socket, Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 900 technology, PCI
express interface and Serial ATA with RAID function for a powerful desktop system.
Intel® LGA775 processor
The Intel® Pentium 4 processor now comes with a new form factor with 775-pin PLGA
package, for 800MHz front-side-bus, 1MB L2 cache, and for 90nm manufacturing
technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder side can make user installing
the processor on the socket easier.
Intel® 915G and ICH6R chipset
The Intel 915G integrates DDR2 400/533MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator
(GMA) 900 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 224MB of frame buffer
when you install over 256MB of system memory. The ICH6R integrates with up to 8 USB2.0
interfaces (6 ports for LV-672), and serial ATA interface with RAID function.
Dual Intel® 82541GI Gigabit LAN
With dual Gigabit LAN with Intel® 82541GI, LV-672 comes with a powerful network function
for the system that requires large transfer data of NAS system or Server platform.
PCI-Express interface
LV-672 integrates a 16x PCI-Express interface, it can provide up to 8GB/ s of bandwidth,
which AGP 8x can only provide up to 2GB/s.
Multimedia interfaces
LV-672 also integrates 5.1channel AC97 audio, mini-PCI interface a nd IEEE1394 port, for
these flexible function, system integrator can built more powerful systems for many
applications.

This option can let you select operation modes of Serial ATA drives.
Disabled: To disable the onboard Serial ATA controller.
Auto: To allow the system select the optimized mode automatically.
Combined mode: PATA and SATA work as two channels for supporting two drives on each
channel.
Enhanced mode: Max supported of the PATA and SATA for up to 6 drives.

3.2 <SATA RAID Configuration>
The board integrates Intel® ICH6R with RAID function for Serial ATA 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.
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.
Please press <CTRL+I> to enter the RAID configuration menu.
