Hard Drive Activity LED
Connecting pins 1 and 3 to a front panel mounted LED provides visual indication that data
is being read from or written to the hard drive. For the LED to function properly, an IDE
drive should be connected to the onboard IDE interface. The LED will also show activity
for devices connected to the SCSI (hard drive activity LED) connector.
Power/Sleep/Message waiting LED
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.
13
This motherboard has a Socket 939 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.

This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.
The Standard Configuration
A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend
that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.
This Setup Utility should be used:
•when changing the system configuration
•when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes
to the Setup Utility
•when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts
•when making changes to the Power Management configuration
•when changing the password or making other changes to the Security Setup
Entering the Setup Utility
When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines.
POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are
completed, the following message appears:

You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the manufacturer’s
Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improvements in performance,
or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as follows:
1If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow
BIOS flashing.
2If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced
BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being
overwritten.
3Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information
on creating a bootable system disk.)
4Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer’s Web
site. Copy these files to the system diskette you created in Step 3.
5Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer’s
diskette drive. (You might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot
priority items on the Boot Configuration Features, to force your computer to
boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)
6At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and the file name of the
new BIOS, then press <Enter>
7When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the diskette
drive and restart your computer. If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper ,
reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS from being overwritten.

SiS965/SiS965L SA TA RAID Setup Guide
Introduction for SiS965/SiS965L SA T A RAID Function
The SiS965 S-ATA Host controller supports up to four serial ATA on four independent
ports, but the SiS965L S-ATA controller only supports two SATA ports of up to two Serial
ATA drives.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), striping+mirroring
(RAID0+1) and span (JBOD). Please note that the function supports hard disk drives only.
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 SiS965 controller supports up to four Serial A TA (Serial A T A RAID) drivers,
but SiS965L controller suppotrs up to two Serial ATA drives.
•Support RAID function: RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, JBOD. (SiS965L does not
support RAID 0+1)
•Support bootable disk.
•Windows-based RAID Utility software tool (only support Windows XP and
2000).
•BIOS Utility.
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.
49
SiS965/SiS965L SAT A RAID Setup Guide
Page 56
50
4RAID 0+1: Also known as “Stripe-Mirror”. At least four hard drives are re-
quired. RAID 0+1 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. Data is striped into
two drives then mirrored. It provides high performance and high data protection. This is a costly solution as RAID 1 because the two mirrored drives
represent an expensive insurance.
5JBOD: (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
SiS RAID driver support Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Me/98SE.
1For RAID function, SiS965 support RAID0, RAID1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD by
software RAID driver.
2For RAID function, SiS965L support RAID0, RAID1 and JBOD by software
RAID driver.
3Support the function of installing windows to RAID array.
