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 an Socket AM2. 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.

Using BIOS
About the Setup Utility
The computer uses the latest “American Megatrends Inc. ” BIOS with support for Windows
Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions
for configuring the motherboard BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are
stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is
turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you
stored in CMOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:
•Hard drives, diskette drives and peripherals
•Video display type and display options
•Password protection from unauthorized use
•Power Management features
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the
Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.
29
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:

Updating the BIOS
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 Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to force your
computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)
6At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and the filename of the
new bios and then press <Enter>. Example: AMINF340.EXE 040706.ROM
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.
The computer will restart automatically.
Using BIOS
When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu appears. The main menu of the Setup
Utility displays a list of the options that are available. A highlight indicates which option is
currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When
an option is highlighted, execute the option by pressing <Enter>.

SiS966/966L SATA RAID Setup Guide
Introduction for SiS966/966L SATA RAID Function
The 966 S-ATA controller supports four serial ATA on two independent ports, and The 966/
966L S-ATA controller supports two serial ATA. 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 (RAID 0+1) and span (JBOD). Please note that the function supports hard disk
drives only and the 966L 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 150 MB/sec per
drive, depending on individual drive specifications.
Features
•The SiS966 controller support four Serial ATA (Serial ATA RAID) drivers; while
the SiS966/966L controller support two Serial ATA drivers.
•Windows-based RAID Utility software tool (only support Windows XP and
2000).
•BIOS Utility.

Support Operating Systems
Support Microsoft Windows 2000/XP 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.
SiS966/966L SATA RAID Setup Guide
Page 56
50
3RAID 0+1: Also known as “StripeMirror”. At least four hard drivers 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
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
