Connecting pins 2 and 4 to a single or dual-color, front panel mounted LED provides power
on/off, sleep, and message waiting indication.
Reset Switch
Supporting the reset function requires connecting pin 5 and 7 to a momentary-contact
switch that is normally open. When the switch is closed, the board resets and runs POST.
Power Switch
Supporting the power on/off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momentarycontact switch that is normally open. The switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms
to signal the power supply to switch on or off. The time requirement is due to internal debounce circuitry. After receiving a power on/off signal, at least two seconds elapses before
the power supply recognizes another on/off signal.
Installing Hardware
Installing the Processor
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that
you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount
resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan
scrapes across the motherboard, you may cause serious damage to the
motherboard or its components.
On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the
processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly
installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips.
Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly
see the motherboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus
frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these settings by making changes
to jumpers on the motherboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We
strongly recommend that you do not over-clock processors or other components to run
faster than their rated speed.
Warning: Over-clocking components can adversely affect the reliability
of the system and introduce errors into your system. Over-clocking can
permanently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
Installing the Motherboard
This motherboard has a LGA775 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider
the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design,
the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal
cache memory and external cache memory.

•RAS Precharge Time (tRP) (3T)This is the duration of the time interval
during which the Row Address Strobe signal to a DRAM is held low during
normal Read and Write Cycles. This is the munimum interval between completing one read or write and starting another from the same (non-page mode)
DRAM. T echniques such as memory interleaving, or use of Page Mode DRAM
are often used to avoid this delay. Some chipsets require this parameter in
order to set up the memory configuration properly. The RAS Precharge value
is typically about the same as the RAM Access (data read/write) time.
•RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD) (3T): This is the amount of time a CAS is performed after a RAS. This lower the better, but some DRAM does not support
low figures.

SiS 964 SA T A RAID Setup Guide
Introduction for SiS964 SA T A RAID Function
The 964 S-ATA controller only support two serial ATA on two independent ports. The
Serial ATA RAID is designed to provide a cost-effective, high performance RAID solution
that adds performance and/or reliability to PC desktops and/or servers using Serial ATA/150
hard disks.
Serial ATA RAID function supports striping (RAID 0), mirroring (RAID 1), and span
(JBOD). Please note that the function supports hard disk drives only and the 964 S-ATA
controller don’t support Striping + mirroring (Raid 0+1).
With striping, identical drives can read and write data in parallel to increase performance.
Mirroring increases read performance through load balancing and elevator sorting while
creating a complete backup of your files. Span would increase the logic hard disk space.
Serial ATA RAID striped arrays can double the sustained data transfer rate of Serial ATA/
150. Serial ATA RAID fully supports Serial ATA/150 specification of up to 150MB/sec per
drive, depending on individual drive specifications.
Features
•The SiS 964 controller only support two Serial ATA (Serial ATA RAID) drivers.
•Support RAID function: RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD.
•Support bootable disk.
•Windows-based RAID Utility software tool (only support Windows XP and
2000).
•BIOS Utility.
51
Support Operating Systems
Support Microsoft Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000 Professional and Server/XP.
What is RAID?
This section will give you an overview about the RAID system and introduce the basic
background and glossary which you need to know before using “SiS RAID Controller Application”.
1RAID: (Redundant Array of Independent Disk Drives) use jointly several hard
drives to increase data transfer rates and data security. It depends on the
number of drives present and RAID function you select to fulfill the security
or performance purposes or both.
2RAID 0: Also known as “Stripping”. All of the data are distributed evenly to all
of the existing drives. You gain benefits on performance because the data
transfer rate is multiplied by the number of drives. However, RAID 0 has high
risks of data security. All of the stored data will be lost if even any one drive
in the RAID set crashes.
3RAID 1: Also known as “Mirroring”. Two hard drives are required. The goal of
RAID 0 is to ensure data security. Data is written to two or more drives
synchronously. That is, 100% duplication of data from one drive to another.
SiS964 SAT A RAID Setup Guide
52
4JBOD: (Just a Bunch of Drives). Also known as “Spanning”. Two or more hard
drives are required. Several hard disk types configured as a single hard disk.
The hard drives are simply hooked up in series. This expands the capacity of
your drive and results in a useable total capacity. However, JBOD will not
increase any performance or data security.
Installing Software Drivers
