LV-67N User’s Manual

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 c onnec tor to make a c able, becaus e
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-67N, 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 or +5V or +3.3V.

3. You would need a LVDS type cable.

This option can let you select whether the Serial ATA hard drives would work under normal

LV-67N User’s Manual

3.4 <SATA RAID Configuration>

The board integrates Intel® Q87 PCH with RAID function for Serial ATA drives, and
supports the configurations below:
RAID 0 (Stripping): Two hard drives operating as one drive for optimiz ed 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 th e workable driv e. It
needs two unused drives or one used and one unused drive 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 t wo
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 Phoenix BIOS for the system configuration. The Phoenix
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 h ere

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 immediately 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.

The board is based on Phoenix BIOS and can be updated easily by the BIOS auto
flash tool. You can download the tool online at the address below:

http://www.phoenix.com/en/home/
http://www.commell.com.tw/Support/Support_SBC.htm

File name of the tool is “Fpt.exe”, it’s the utility that can write the data into the BIOS
flash ship and update the BIOS.

B.2 <Flash BIOS Procedure>

1. Please make a bootable floppy disk.

2. Get the last .bin files you want to update and copy it into the disk.

3. Copy Fpt.exe to the disk.

4. Power on the system and flash the BIOS.
(Example: C:/Fpt –savemac –f XXX.bin )

5. Restart the system.
