3. BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings that is needed for system initiation as well as examining the CMOS. Its CMOS SETUP utility allows the user to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate certain features. The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen. When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to update to a new BIOS, the BIOSNow! can be used. The user can select BIOSNow! as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.
4. Driver Installation
Driver installation for the Windows 2000/XP operating systems is simple. Once you insert the provided driver disks into your optical drive, the AUTORUN screen will appear. If this screen does not appear, you can use "D:\setup.exe" (with "D" being the specified drive) to bring up the screen shown below. Just follow the screen instructions to easily complete driver installation.

5. Installation of SATA RAID Disks
The Serial ATA channel controlled by the SiS 964 southbridge chip supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. This section explains the steps required to configure RAID disks.
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance. Hard disk drives can be combined together through a few different methods. The different methods are referred to as different RAID levels. Differ­ent RAID levels represent different performance levels, security levels and implementa­tion costs.
RAID 0 (Striping) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array. The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member. RAID 0 does not provide fault tolerance funtionality.
RAID 1 (Mirroring) RAID 1 writes duplicate data onto a pair of drives and reads both sets of data in parallel. If one of the mirrored drives suffers a mechanical failure or does not respond, the remaining drive will continue to function. Due to redundancy, the drive capacity of the array is the capacity of the smallest drive. Due to the fault tolerance, if any RAID 1 drive fails, data access will not be affected as long as there are other working drives in the array.
5.1. Configuring the System BIOS for the SATA Channel
1. Connect two SATA hard disks to the SATA ports on the motherboard.
2. Reboot you system and press the <Delete> key to enter the BIOS setup screen after
