Celeron processor 775-pin socket, DDR3 memory socket, Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator
4500 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 PLGA package, for 800/1066/1333MHz front-side-bus, 12MB L2 cache,
for 65nm and 45nm manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on
solder side can make user installing the processor on the socket easier.
Intel
® Q45 and ICH10DO chipset
The Intel Q45 integrates DDR3 800/1066MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator
(GMA) 4500 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 1024MB of frame
buffer when you install over 1GB of system memory. The ICH10DO integrates with up to 8
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.

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.

Page 40
LV-67A User’s Manual
3.2 <SATA RAID Configuration>
The board integrates Intel® ICH10DO 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.

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
