Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board,
components or devices even before installing them in your system
unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components
without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra
care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its
anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any
of the components, contacts or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and
connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk
drive and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction
procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a
station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal
part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any
procedures requiring ESD protection.
Safety Measures
To avoid damage to the system:
•Use the correct AC input voltage range
..
..
.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis
cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,
cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.
Battery:
• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend
by
the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.

Power Connectors
Use a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply
Design Guide Version 1.1. An ATX12V power supply unit has a
standard 24-pin ATX main power connector that must be inserted
into this connector.
Your power supply unit may come with an 8-pin or 4-pin +12V
power connector. The +12V power enables the delivery of more
+12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module
(VRM). If available, it is preferable to use the 8-pin power;
otherwise connect a 4-pin power to this connector.

The FDD-type power connector is an additional power connector.
If you are using more than one graphics cards, we recommend
that you plug a power cable from your power supply unit to the
5V/12V power connector. This will provide more stability to the
entire system. The system board will still work even if the
additional power connector is not connected.
The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply
to operate. Your system configuration (CPU power, amount of
memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum
power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided,
we strongly recommend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt
(or greater) power supply.
Important:
Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability
or the add-in boards and peripherals not functioning properly.
Calculating the system’s approximate power usage is important
to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s consumption
requirements.
The power connectors from the power supply unit are designed
to fit the 24-pin and 8-pin connectors in only one orientation.
Make sure to find the proper orientation before plugging the
connectors.

Restarting the PC
Normally, you can power-off the PC by:
1. Pressing the power button at the front panel of the chassis.
or
2. Pressing the power switch that is on the system board (note:
not all system boards come with this switch).
If for some reasons you need to totally cut off the power supplied
to the PC, switch off the power supply or unplug the power cord.
Take note though that if you intend to restar t it at once, please
strictly follow the steps below.
1. The time where power is totally discharged varies among
power supplies. It's discharge time is highly dependent on the
system's configuration such as the wattage of the power supply,
the sequence of the supplied power as well as the number of
peripheral devices connected to the system. Due to this
reason, we strongly recommend that you wait for the Standby
Power LED (refer to the “LEDs” section in this chapter for the
location of the Standby Power LED) to lit off.
2. After the Standby Power LED has lit off, wait for 6 seconds
before powering on the PC.
If the system board is already enclosed in a chassis which apparently will not make the Standby Power LED visible, wait for
15 seconds before you restore power connections. 15 seconds
is approximately the time that will take the LED to lit off and
the time needed before restoring power.
The above will ensure protection and prevent damage to the
motherboard and components.

PWR-LED: Power/Standby LED
When the system’s power is on, this LED will light. When the
system is in the S1 (POS - Power On Suspend) or S3 (STR Suspend To RAM) state, it will blink every second.
Note:
If a system did not boot-up and the Power/Standby LED did not
light after it was powered-on, it may indicate that the CPU or
memory module was not installed properly. Please make sure
they are properly inserted into their corresponding socket.

The Intel ICH9R chip alows configuring RAID on Serial ATA drives.
It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5.
RAID Levels
RAID 0 (Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance)
RAID 0 uses two new identical hard disk drives to read and write
data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Data is divided into stripes and
each stripe is written alternately between two disk drives. This improves the I/O performance of the drives at different channel;
however it is not fault tolerant. A failed disk will result in data loss
in the disk array.
RAID 1 (Mirroring Disk Array with Fault Tolerance)
RAID 1 copies and maintains an identical image of the data from
one drive to the other drive. If a drive fails to function, the disk
array management software directs all applications to the other
drive since it contains a complete copy of the drive’s data. This
enhances data protection and increases fault tolerance to the
entire system. Use two new drives or an existing drive and a new
drive but the size of the new drive must be the same or larger
than the existing drive.
RAID 0+1 (Striping and Mirroring)
RAID 0+1 is a combination of data striping and data mirroring providing the benefits of both RAID 0 and RAID 1. Use four new drives
or an existing drive and three new drives for this configuration.
RAID 5
RAID 5 stripes data and parity information across hard drives. It is
fault tolerant and provides better hard drive performance and
more storage capacity.
Settings
To enable the RAID function, the following settings are required.
1. Connect the Serial ATA drives.
2. Configure Serial ATA in the Award BIOS.
3. Configure RAID in the RAID BIOS.
4. Install the RAID driver during OS installation.
5. Install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager

Step 2: Configure Serial ATA in the Award BIOS
1. Power-on the system then press <Del> to enter the main
menu of the Award BIOS.
2. Select the Integrated Peripherals submenu - OnChip IDE
Device section of the BIOS.
3. Configure Serial ATA in the appropriate fields.
4. Press <Esc> to return to the main menu of the BIOS setup
utility. Select “Save & Exit Setup” then press <Enter>.
5. Type <Y> and press <Enter>.
6. Reboot the system.
Step 3: Configure RAID in the RAID BIOS
When the system powers-up and all drives have been detected,
the Intel RAID BIOS status message screen will appear. Press the
<Ctrl> and <I> keys simultaneously to enter the utility. The utility
allows you to build a RAID system on Serial ATA drives.
Refer to chapter 2 for details on connecting the Serial ATA drives.
Important:
1. Make sure you have installed the Serial ATA drives and connected the data cables
otherwise you won’t be able to enter the RAID BIOS utility.
2. Treat the cables with extreme caution especially while creating RAID. A damaged
cable will ruin the entire installation process and operating system. The system will
not boot and you will lost all data in the hard drives. Please give special attention
to this warning because there is no way of recovering back the data.

Step 4: Install the RAID Driver During OS Installation
The RAID driver must be installed during the Windows® XP or
Windows® 2000 installation using the F6 installation method. This is
required in order to install the operating system onto a hard drive
or RAID volume when in RAID mode or onto a hard drive when
in AHCI mode.
1. Start Windows Setup by booting from the installation CD.
2. Press <F6> when prompted in the status line with the ‘Press
F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver’
message.
3. Press <S> to “Specify Additional Device”.
4. At this point you will be prompted to insert a floppy disk
containing the RAID driver. Insert the provided RAID driver
diskette.
5. Locate for the drive where you inserted the diskette then
select RAID or AHCI controller that corresponds to your
BIOS setup. Press <Enter> to confirm.
You have successfully installed the driver. However you must
continue installing the OS. Leave the floppy disk in the floppy
drive until the system reboots itself because Windows setup will
need to copy the files again from the floppy disk to the Windows
installation folders. After Windows setup has copied these files
again, remove the floppy diskette so that Windows setup can
reboot as needed.
Step 5: Install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager
The Intel Matrix Storage Manager can be installed from within
Windows. It allows RAID volume management (create, delete,
migrate) from within the operating system. It will also display
useful SATA device and RAID volume information. The user
interface, tray icon service and monitor service allow you to
monitor the current status of the RAID volume and/or SATA
drives. It enables enhanced performance and power management
for the storage subsystem.
1. Insert the CD into a CD-ROM drive.
2. On the left side of the autorun screen, click the “CHIPSET”
icon.
3. Click “Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager” on the main menu.
4. Follow the steps shown on the screen; clicking “next” each
time you finish a step.
