2.8. RAID (Optional)
Bus mastering design allows utilization of a RAID (Redundant Array of
Independent Disks). A RAID is a set of two or more hard disks and a
specialized disk controller, which controls the RAID function. Using a
RAID, the user can write and read to more than one disk at the same time,
that is, complete data duplication can be achieved, or, excess data can ve
transferred to another disk. the problems of disk failure are minimized with
the use of a RAID.
This concludes Chapter 2. Chapter 3 covers hardware installation.

with various mounting fasteners, which are made of metal or plastic. It is
highly recommended to use as many metal fasteners as possible to mount
the mainboard in the chassis for better grounding.
To install the mainboard you need to install the CPU and DIMM memory
modules, attach the connectors, and set the correct CPU speed in the
CMOS setup.
3.3. Safety Measures
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are still
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the
simple guidelines below to avoid damaging your computer:
u Always disconnect the mainboard from the ATX power supply, and
disconnect the computer from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the computer case.
Installation
u If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are installing
the mainboard or working inside the computer case. Alternatively,
discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis
of the computer case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded
appliance.
u Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not
flex or stress the circuit board.
u Leave each component inside the static-proof packaging that it
ships with until you are ready to use the component for the
installation.

3.5.8. IDE Connectors (IDE1,IDE2,IDE3,IDE4)
An IDE drive ribbon cable has two connectors to support four IDE drives.
If a ribbon cable connects to two IDE drives at the same time, one of them
has to be configured as Master and the other has to be configured as
Slave by setting the drive select jumpers on the drive.
Consult the documentation that came with your IDE drive for details on
jumper locations and settings. You must orient the cable connector so that
the pin 1 (color) edge of the cable corresponds to pin 1 of the I/O port
connector.

(FAN1/ FAN2)
There are three fan conn ectors on the mainboard for the cooling fans. The
connectors support fans of 12V DC/50 0mAMP (six watt) or less. When
th e system goes into sleep state, fans should be shut down to eliminate
audible n oise and reduce power consumption. You can monitor the fan
sp eed by way of the 82845E chip (providing the fan comes with a tachometer output).

Mainboard User’s Manual
4. BIOS Co nfi gura tio n
After the hardware configuration of the mainboard is finished, and the
system hardware has been assembled, th e system may be powered up. At
th is point, CMOS setup should be run to ensure that system information is
correct.
The mainbo ard employs the latest Award BIOS CMOS chip with support
for Windows Plug and Play. This CMOS chip contains the ROM Setup instruction s for configuring the mainboard’s BIOS. The BIOS (Basic Input
an d Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you
to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit
your individual work needs. It is a ROM-based configuration utility that
displays the sy stem’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to
set system parameters. These p arameters are stored in non-volatile batteryback ed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information even when the power is
turned o ff. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with
the values fou nd in CMOS.
Using easy-to-use p ull down menus, you can configure such items as:
r Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
r Video display type and display options
r Password protection from unauthorized use
r Po wer management features
Th e settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how the compu ter performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the
Setup’s options, and second, to make settings appropriate fo r the way you
use the computer. This ch apter provides clear explanations for all Setup
options.
34
BIOS Configuration
Page 41
BIOS Configuration
This prog ram should be executed under the following conditions:
r Wh en changing the system configuration
r When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are
prompted to make ch anges to the Setup program
r Wh en resetting the system clock
r When setting the CPU clock speed so that it automatically runs
eith er fast or slow
r When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
r Wh en making changes to the Power Management configuration
r Wh en changing the password or making other changes to the
security setup
Normally, CMOS setup is n eeded when the system hardware is not
consistent with the information con tained in the CMOS RAM, whenever
the CMOS RAM has lo st power, or the system features need to be
changed.
4.1. Entering Setup
When the system is powered on, th e BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test
(POST) routines. Th ese routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an
error is encou ntered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways:
1. If the error occurs before the display device is initialized , a series
of beeps will b e transmitted.
2. If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen
will disp lay the error message.
After the POST routines are completed, the following message app ears:

(Master and Slave). Use these items to configure each device on the IDE
channel. Press Enter to display the IDE sub -menu:
u IDE HDD Auto-Detection: Press <Enter> wh ile this item is high
ligh ted if you want the Setup Utility to automatically detect and
co nfigure a hard disk drive on the IDE channel.
If your system h as an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to
detect its parameters and enter th em into the Standard CMOS

If th e auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones
that sho uld be used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press
the <N> k ey to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually
in th e Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Note: If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports
LBA mode, more than one line will appear in the param

Do not choose “Large” or “Normal” if the hard disk drive is
already fu lly formatted when you installed it. Select the mode that
was used to format it.
u IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave: If you leave this item
at “Au to,” the system will automatically detect and configure
an y IDE devices it finds. If it fails to find a hard disk, change
th e value to “Manual” and then manually configure the drive
by entering the characteristics of the drive in the items below
(Capacity, Cylinder, Head, Precomp , etc.). Refer to your
driv e’s documentation or look on the drive if you need to
ob tain this information. If no device is installed, change the
value to “None.”
