Chapter 3. BIOS Setup

The BIOS is a boot program located in a Flash Memory chip on the mainboard. It

is used to communicate with the hardware before the operating system (OS) takes

the control of the system. Its main function is to manage the setup of the

motherboard and interface card parameters, including simple parameters such as

time, date, hard disk drive, as well as more complex parameters such as hardware

synchronization, device operating mode, and the operating speed of the CPU.

Warning

Don’t change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you fully understand their meanings and consequences: The

parameters inside the BIOS are used to setup the hardware synchronization or the device-operating mode. If the parameters are not correct, they will produce errors, the computer will crash, and sometimes you will not even be able to boot the computer after it has crashed. We recommend that you do not change the parameters inside the BIOS unless you are very familiar with them. If you are not able to boot your computer anymore, please refer to Chapter 2 Hardware Installation, section 2-5 Jumpers -“Erase CMOS data”.

Note

A new IDE HDD must be first formatted, otherwise it can not read/write. The basic step in using a HDD is to make a HDD low-level format, then run FDISK, and then FORMAT the drive. Most current HDDs have already been subjected to low-level format at the factory, so you can probably skip this operation. Remember though, the primary IDE HDD must have its partition set to active within the FDISK procedure. If you are using an old HDD that is already formatted, auto detection can detect the correct parameters. You may need to do a low-level format or set the parameters manually, and then check if the HDD is working.

Chapter 5. Serial ATA Installation

(NR135-S / NR135-SN / NR135-GS / NR135-GSN ONLY)

About Serial ATA

Serial ATA is an evolutionary replacement of the parallel ATA storage interface in

the desktop as well as the cost-sensitive server and network storage market

segments. The spec allows for thinner, more flexible cables and lower pin counts.

This will allow computer manufacturers to design systems with cables that are

simpler to route and install, improving thermal designs and facilitating smaller

form factor systems. It also enables easier, more flexible motherboard routing and

the use of smaller connectors than is possible with the existing parallel ATA

technology. The technology will provide a storage interface that meets the needs of

computers for the next decade.

Important Data Protection Information

You should back up all data before installing any drive controller or storage

peripheral. LITE-ON Technology is not responsible for any loss of data resulting

from the use, disuse or misuse of this or any other LITE-ON Technology products.

Warning

The mainboard, like other parts of your system, is subject to damage by static electricity. Be sure that you’re properly grounded (LITE-ON recommends that you wear an anti-static strap or touch a grounded object) and unplug your system before starting any hardware installation.

5-1 Installing the Hard Drives

The onboard SATA150 Controller (Silicon Image Sil3112A) supports up to

two Serial ATA / ATA / ATAPI6 devices in RAID 0/1 or non-RAID set

operation.

Important

If you wish to include your current bootable Parallel ATA drive using the Windows NT 4.x, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating system onto the onboard SATA150 Controller.

You MUST install the SATA driver for Windows NT4, 2000, or XP onto this drive first while it is still attached to your existing hard drive controller.

1. Installing Serial ATA drive

(1) No jumper configuration is required for the Serial ATA hard

drive. For more information, refer to the manual that came with

your hard drive.

(2) Install all of the hard drives into the hard drive bays of your

system, including their power cables.

(3) Attach Serial ATA data cable to each hard drive. Then attach the

other ends of the cables to one of the Serial ATA150 ports on the

mainboard. All of the connectors are keyed so they will only

attach one way.

5-2 Installing the Drivers

You must install the appropriate SATA150 driver for your current operating
