the power supply recognizes another on/off signal.
Installing the Motherboard
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 LGA 775 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.

VIA VT8237 SATA RAID Setup Guide
VIA RAID Configurations
The motherboard includes a high performance Serial ATA RAID controller integrated in the
VIA VT8237 Southbridge chipset. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD with two independent Serial ATA channels.
RAID: (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 seurity or performance pruposes or both.
RAID 0 (called data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data
in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at
a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access
and storage.
RAID 1 (called data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one
drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all
applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other
drive. This RAID configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to
the entire system.
JBOD: (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.
43
Install the Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks
The VIA VT8237 Southbridge chipset supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal
performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a RAID
set.
•If you are creating a RAID 0 (striping) array of performance, use two new
drives.
•If you are creating a RAID 1 (mirroring) array for protection, you can use two
new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive (the new drive must be
of the same size or larger than the existing drive). If you use two drives of
different sizes, the smaller capacity hard disk will be the base storage size.
For example, one hard disk has an 80GB storage capacity and the other hard
disk has 60GB storage capacity, the maximum storage capacity for the RAID
Follow these steps to install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration.
1 set is 60GB.
iBefore setting up your new RAID array, verify the status of your hard disks.
Make sure the Master/Slave jumpers are configured properly.
iiBoth the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You cannot use older
40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE power cables with Serial ATA drives.
Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks require the use of new Serial ATA
cable (4-conductor) which supports the Serial ATA protocol and a Serial ATA
power cable.
VIA VT8237 SATA RAID Setup Guide
44
iiiEither end of the Serial ATA data cable can be connected to the SATA hard disk
or the SATA connector on the motherboard.
1Install the Serial ATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2Connect one end of the Serial ATA cable to the motherboard’s primary Serial
ATA connector (SATA1).
3Connect the other end of Serial ATA cable to the master Serial ATA hard disk.
4Connect one end of the second Serial ATA cable to the motherboard’s sec-
ondary Serial ATA connector (SATA2).
5Connect the other end of Serial ATA cable to the secondary Serial ATA hard
disk.
6Connect the Serial ATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

Duplicate Critical RAID 1 Array
When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if the RAID 1 array has any inconsistencies
between user data and backup data. If BIOS detects any inconsistencies, the status of the
disk array will be marked as critical, and BIOS will prompt the user to duplicate the RAID 1
in order to ensure the backup data consistency with the user data.
If user selects Continue to boot, it will enable duplicating the array after booting into OS.
Rebuild Broken RAID 1 Array
When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if any member disk drives of RAID has failed
or is absent. If BIOS detects any disk drive failures or missing disk drives, the status of the
array will be marked as broken.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is a spare hard drive available for rebuilding
the broken array, the spare hard drive will automatically become the mirroring drive. BIOS
will show a main interface just like a duplicated RAID 1. Selecting Continue to boot
enables the user to duplicate the array after booting into operating system.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is no spare hard drive available for
rebuilding the array, BIOS will provide several operations to solve such problems.
VIA VT8237 SATA RAID Setup Guide
1. Power off and Check the Failed Drive:
This item turns off the computer and replaces the failed hard drive with a good one. If your
computer does not support APM, you must turn off your computer manually. After
replacing the hard drive, boot into BIOS and select Choose replacement drive and
rebuild to rebuild the broken array.
2. Destroy the Mirroring Relationship:
This item cancels the data mirroring relationship of the broken array. For broken RAID 1
arrays, the data on the surviving disk will remain after the destroy operation. However,
