FS-979 User’s Manual Introduction
Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
FS-979 is the Full-size single board computer with last Intel desktop technology with
PICMG form factor. Based on Intel® 915GV and ICH6R, the board integrates a new
Pentium 4 processor 775-pin socket, DDR2 memory socket, and Intel® Graphic Media
Accelerator 900 technology, LAN, AC97 audio, USB2.0 and Serial ATA with RAID function
for a powerful rack-mount/wall-mount system.
Intel
® LGA775 processor
The Intel® Pentium 4 processor now comes with a new form factor with 775-pin PLGA
package, for 800MHz front-side-bus, 1MB L2 cache, and for 90nm manufacturing
technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder side can make user installing
the processor on the socket easier.
Intel® 915GV and ICH6R chipset
The Intel® 915GV integrates DDR2 400/533MHz for memory, and Graphic Media
Accelerator (GMA) 900 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 224MB of
frame buffer when you install over 256MB of system memory. The ICH6R integrates with up
to 8 USB2.0 interfaces (4 ports for FS-979), and serial ATA interface with RAID function.
Dual Display Supported
Based on Intel® 915G GMA900 technology, the board supports dual display function with
CRT and DVI display interfaces. You can take this advantage for gaming, security
monitoring or other demonstration applications.
Multimedia interfaces
FS-979 also integrates AC97 audio, Compact Flash and DVI interface, for these flexible
functions, system integrator can built more powerful systems for many field applications.
Max up to 3 Gigabit Intel® LAN
With up to 3 PCI-Express 1x with Intel Gigabit LAN controllers, the boar d comes with the
powerful network function for Server or Workstation.

Chapter 3 <System Configuration>
3.1 <SATA Configuration>
Based on Intel® ICH6R Southbridge chip, the board supports 4 Serial ATA ports; please
follow the touring guide to setup your Serial ATA devices.
For Windows 98/SE/ME, Windows NT4.0 and DOS system, they only support up to 4 IDE
devices including SATA devices, and Windows 2000/XP/Server2003 have no such
limitation.

SA TA Mode:
This option can let you select whether the Serial ATA hard drives would work under normal
IDE mode or RAID mode. The RAID mode need more than one HDD is applied.
Once you enable the RAID mode, the boot-up screen would pop up the RAID configuration
option for setup.
SATA Configuration 34
FS-979 User’s Manual System Configuration
On-Chip Serial ATA mode:
This option can let you select operation modes of Serial ATA drives.
Disabled: To disable the onboard Serial ATA controller.
Auto: To allow the system select the optimized mode automatically.
Combined mode: PATA and SATA work as two channels for supporting two drives on each
channel.
Enhanced mode: Max supported of the PATA and SATA for up to 6 drives.
SATA Only: To disable the PATA and only apply the SATA drives.
Notice: The Combined mode and Enhanced mode are supported depends on your
operating system, please check page33 for relative information.

FS-979 User’s Manual System Configuration
3.2 <SATA RAID Configuration>
The board integrates Intel® ICH6R with RAID function for Serial ATA drives, and supports
the configurations below:
RAID 0 (Stripping): Two hard drives operating as one drive for optimized data R/W
performance. It needs two unused drives to build this operation.
RAID 1 (Mirroring): Copies the data from first drive to second drive for data security, and if
one drive fails, the system would access the applications to the workable drive. It needs two
unused drives or one used and one unused driv e to build this operation. The second drive
must be the same or lager size than first one.
Intel Matrix Storage Technology: This technology would allow you to use RAID 0+1 mode
on only two drives (4 drives needed on traditional RAID 0+1). It will create two partitions on
each hard drive to simulate RAID 0 and RAID 1. It also can let you modify the partition size
without re-formatted.
For more information of Intel Matrix Storage Technology, please visit Intel’s website.
If you need to install an operation system on the RAID set, please use the driver disk
attached in the package when it informs you to obtain the RAID drivers.
Please press <CTRL+I> to enter the RAID configuration menu.
SATA RAID Configuration 36
FS-979 User’s Manual System Configuration
You can setup the RAID under operation system for Microsoft® Windows XP SP1 or
Windows 2000 SP4 version, please install the Intel® Application Accelerator Ver.4.5 later to
support RAID configuration with Intel® Matrix Storage Technology.
1. After installing Intel Application Accelerator, please execute Intel® Storage Utility.
Demo configuration for 2 SATA Drives and
set as Intel Matrix Storage Technology set
2. Select Actions to Create RAID Volume
Rename the Volume name
Select RAID Level as 0
Left as default

3. Please select two hard drives to prepare to set the RAID volume
4. Specify the Volume size
Tune this bar to specify
the volume size, if you
specify the volume size
lower than maximum,
you can create a second
volume for another
RAID set.
(Make RAID 0+1 on only
two hard drives)
5. Repeat the step 1 to create second volume as RAID Level 1.
For other configuration set please click Help on tool bar.

3.3 <Video Memory Setup>
Based on Intel® 915G chipset with GMA (Graphic Media Accelerator) 900, the board
supports Intel® DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) 3.0, which would allow the
video memory be triggered up to 224MB.
To support DVMT, you need to install the Intel GMA 900 Driver with supported OS.
BIOS Setup:
On-Chip Video Memory Size: This option combines three items below for setup.
On-Chip Frame Buffer Size:
This item can let you select video memory which been allocated for legacy VGA and SVGA
graphics support and compatibility. The available option is 1MB and 8MB.
Fixed Memory Size:
This item can let you select a static amount of page-locked graphics memory which will be
allocated during driver initialization. Once you select the memory amount, it will be no
longer available for system memory.
DVMT Memory Size:
This item can let you select a maximum size of dynamic amount usage of video memory,
the system would configure the video memory depends on your appl ication, this item is
strongly recommend to be selected as MAX DVMT.

The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award
BIOS in the single board computer is a customized version of the industrial standard
BIOS for IBM PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and compatible CPU
architecture based processors and computers. The BIOS provides critical low-level
support for the system central processing, memory and I/O sub-systems.
The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the
basic configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed
memory, NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery
runs out of the power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.
