Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

The Intel E7501 chipset is a high-performance chipset with a performance
and feature-set designed for mid-range, dual processor servers. The
E7501 chipset consists of four major components: the Memory Controller
Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3), the PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2.0 (P64H2)
and the 82808AA Host Channel Adapter (VxB).

The MCH has four hub interfaces, one to communicate with the ICH3 and
three for high-speed I/O communications. The MCH employs a 144-bit wide
memory bus for a DDR-266 memory interface, which provides a total band­width of 3.2 GB/s. The ICH3 interface is a 266 MB/sec point-to-point con­nection using an 8-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 4x data transfer rate.
The P64H2 interface is a 1 GB/s point-to-point connection using a 16-bit
wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 8x data transfer rate.

The ICH3 I/O Controller Hub provides various integrated functions, including
a two-channel UDMA100 bus master IDE controller, USB host controllers, a
System Management Bus controller and an AC'97 compliant interface.

The P64H2 PCI-X Hub provides a 16-bit connection to the MCH for high­performance IO capability and two 64-bit PCI-X interfaces.

1-3 Special Features

ATI Graphics Controller

The X5DPR-TG2+ has an integrated ATI video controller based on the Rage
XL graphics chip. The Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing and
AGP texturing. This onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of
up to 512 MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the
power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power­on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup
section (Peripheral Device Configuration) to change this setting. The de­fault setting is Always On.

Introduction

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
X5DPR-TG2+. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that sup­ports PC health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset
Voltage, +3.3V, +5V, +12V and +3.3V Standby

An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a
voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent
to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The
onboard 3-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the power manage­ment functions. The thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection
logic.

Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and
will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds
a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from
the CPU. It can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when the
CPU is in sleep mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high,
it will automatically turn on the thermal control fan to prevent any overheat
damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the
overall system temperature and alert users when the chassis temperature
is too high.

CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode

The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It continues to operate
when the system enters Standby mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will
not run at full power, thereby generating less heat.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-11

Introduction

CPU Overheat LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning
function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat tempera­ture. When this temperature is exceeded, both the overheat fan and the
warning LED are triggered.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Intel's LANDesk Client Manager
(optional). LDCM is used to notify the user of certain system events. For
example, if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insuf­ficient hard drive space for saving the data, you can be alerted of the
potential problem.

Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core

The auto-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to
20A current and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 1.4V to 3.5V. This
will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI
specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that pro­vides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout
a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application soft­ware. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers. This also
includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs, TVs, tele­phones and stereos.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI
provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an oper­ating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI lever­ages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor
architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with both Win­dows 2000 and Windows NT 5.0.

Introduction

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

Microsoft OnNow

The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to
system and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always
on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other re­quests.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start
blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses
any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking
and remain on.

Main Switch Override Mechanism

When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a
system suspend button to make the system enter a SoftOff state. The
monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing
the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During
the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the re­quired circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and
you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold the power button for
4 seconds. This option can be set in the Power section of the BIOS Setup
routine.

External Modem Ring-On

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem
ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem
ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power
supply.

Wake-On-LAN (WOL)

Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to re­motely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up­dates and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that
daily LAN traffic is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The
motherboards have a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-13

Introduction

a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN
must be enabled in BIOS. Note that Wake-On-Lan can only be used with an
ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.

1-6 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for
proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that
have high CPU clock rates.

The SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ accommodates ATX power supplies. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU,
some are inadequate. You should use one that will supply at least 400W of
power and includes the additional +12V, 8-pin power connector - an even
higher wattage power supply is recommended for high-load configurations.
Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for LAN1 and LAN2.

NOTE: Auxiliary 12v power (J15) is necessary to support Intel Xeon
CPUs. Failure to provide this extra power will result in the CPUs
becoming unstable after only a few minutes of operation. See
Section 2-5 for details on connecting the power supply cables.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that
meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. Additionally, in ar­eas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install
a line filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you
also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by
power surges.

1-7 Super I/O

The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk
drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data
separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selec­tion, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA
logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly
reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk
drives. The Super I/O supports 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk
drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s. It also
provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports

1-14

Introduction

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

(UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART
includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator,
complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system.
Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud
rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2
Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1
Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.

The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional
Printer Port (BPP) , Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or Extended Capabilities
Port (ECP).

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Con­figuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electric-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre­vent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully.
The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment
from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the anti­static bag.

• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph­eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when
not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex­cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

2-2

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it
before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make
sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install
the CPU heat sink.

2-2 PGA Processor and Heatsink Installation

1. Locate the following components, which are included in the shipping
package.

Retention brackets

(2)

Clips (2)

Screws* (4)

*These screws are for mounting the
motherboard to the back panel of a
chassis that has four mounting holes
(as shown on right).

White pegs (4)

2. Insert the white pegs into the
black anchors. Do not force the
white pegs all the way in - only
about 1/3 of the way into the black
anchors.

3. Place a retention bracket in the
proper position and secure it by
pressing pegs into two of the retention
holes until you hear a *click*. The
clicking sound indicates that the peg is
locked and secured.

Two pegs in
position

One retention bracket in
position

Black anchors (4)

For chassis that do not have four
mounting holes, use the anchor/peg
assemblies:

Anchor/peg
assemblies

When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct
pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the
motherboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the
BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

5. Lift the lever on the CPU socket:

lift the lever completely or you will
damage the CPU socket when
power is applied. (Install CPU1
first.)

6. Install the CPU in the socket. Make sure

that pin 1 of the CPU is seated on pin 1 of
the socket (both corners are marked). When
using only one CPU, install it into CPU socket
#1 (CPU socket #2 is automatically disabled if
only one CPU is used).

Pin 1

7. Press the lever down until

you hear it *click* into the
locked position.

4. Secure the other retention

bracket into position by
repeating Step 3.

8. Apply the proper amount of thermal

glue to the CPU die and place the
heatsink and fan on top of the CPU.

Heatsink

9. Secure the heatsink by locking the

retention clips into their proper
position.

10. Connect the three wires of

the CPU fan to the respective CPU
fan connector.

Figure 2-1. PGA604 Socket: Empty and with Processor Installed

Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of
chassis. Make sure the location of all the mounting holes for both the
motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both
plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended
because they ground the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure the metal
standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly. Then use a screwdriver to
secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Warning! Make

sure you lift the
lever completely
when installing the
CPU. If the lever is
only partly raised,
damage to the
socket or CPU may
result.

!

IMPORTANT! Please note that special, new silver heatsink retention clips must
be used with all Xeon 533 MHz FSB (front side bus) 604-pin processors.
These new retention clips have “604P” clearly marked on them. Using the old
clips will not keep the proper amount of pressure applied and may cause the
processor to overheat. You should not use these new retention clips with
Xeon 400 MHz FSB processors (even if the CPU socket is 604-pin) as they will
too tight and damage the CPU socket.

Figure 2-2. Installing and Removing DIMMs

To Install:

Insert module
vertically and
press down
until it snaps
into place.
Pay attention
to the
alignment
notch at the
bottom.

2-3 Installing DIMMs

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules:

http://www.supermicro.com/TECHSUPPORT/FAQs/Memory_vendors.htm

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM

modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the

memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).

DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with

Bank 1. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two
modules at a time, beginning with Bank 1, then Bank 2, and so on.

2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the

notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM
module incorrectly.

3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the

slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

Memory Support

The X5DPR-TG2+ only supports ECC registered DDR-266/200 MHz SDRAM
memory. If you are using 533 MHz front side bus processors(s), you must
use DDR-266 SDRAM. If you are using 400 MHz front side bus
processors(s), you may use either DDR-266 or DDR-200 SDRAM.

2-6

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

To Remove:

Use your thumbs to gently push near the edge of both ends of
the module. This should release it from the slot.

2-4 I/OPorts/Control Panel Connectors

The I/O ports are color coded in conformance with the PC 99 specification.
See Figure 2-3 below for the colors and locations of the various I/O ports.

2-6 Jumper Settings

Explanation of
Jumpers

To modify the operation of the
motherboard, jumpers can be
used to choose between
optional settings. Jumpers
create shorts between two pins
to change the function of the
connector. Pin 1 is identified
with a square solder pad on
the printed circuit board. See
the motherboard layout pages
for jumper locations.
Note: On two pin jumpers,
"Closed" means the jumper is
on and "Open" means the
jumper is off the pins.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is not literally a jumper but
consists of two contact pads. To
clear the contents of CMOS, short
these pads together by touching
them both with a metal conductor
such as the head of a small
screwdriver. For ATX power
supplies, you must completely shut
down the system and remove the
AC power cord before clearing
CMOS.

Troubleshooting

3-1 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have
followed all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the
‘Technical Support Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’
section(s) in this chapter.

Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing
or installing any hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis.

2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those
for the keyboard and mouse.

3. Remove all add-on cards.

4. Install one CPU (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the chassis
speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. (Check all jumper
settings as well.)

No Power

1. Make sure no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chas­sis.

2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still
supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

No Video

1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards
and cables.

2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to the
Appendix for details on beep codes.

3-2

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

Losing the System’s Setup Configuration

1. Ensure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality
power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup informa­tion. Refer to Section 1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still
supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact
your vendor for repairs.

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also,
note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Super Micro does not sell directly
to end-users, so it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for
troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s)
with the specific system configuration that was sold to you.

NOTE

If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnos-

tics card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to

App. B.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.

2. Determine if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed and verify
that the BIOS setup is configured for the fastest speed of RAM used.
It is recommended to use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the
system.

3. Make sure you are using registered ECC, DDR-266 or DDR-200 SDRAM.
If using 533 MHz processors, you must use DDR-266 memory (DDR­200 is not supported at a 533 MHz front side bus speed).

4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module be­tween two slots and noting the results.

5. Make sure all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. As an
interleaved memory scheme is used, you must install two modules at a
time, beginning with Bank 1, then Bank 2, and so on (see Section 2-3).

6. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

3-3

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently
Asked Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our
web site (http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport.htm) before con­tacting Technical Support.

2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at
http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport/download.htm.

Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed depending on the modifications
to the boot block code.

3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information
when contacting Super Micro for technical support:

• Motherboard model and PCB revision number

• BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when
your system first boots up)

•System configuration
An example of a Technical Support form is on our web site at
http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport/contact_support.htm.

4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number
ready when placing a call to our technical support department. We can
be reached by e-mail at [email protected] or by fax at:
[phone], option 2.

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What are the various types of memory that my mother­board can support?

Answer: The X5DPR-TG2+ has six DIMM slots that support 184-pin, regis-

tered ECC DDR-266 or DDR-200 SDRAM DIMM modules. If using 533 MHz
processors, you must use DDR-266 memory (DDR-200 is not supported at a
533 MHz front side bus speed). It is strongly recommended that you do not
mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. Unbuffered SDRAM,
non-ECC memory and PC100/133 SDRAM modules are not supported.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are

experiencing no problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located
on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com. Please check our BIOS
warning message and the info on how to update your BIOS on our web

3-4

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

site. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than
your BIOS before downloading. Select your motherboard model and down­load the BIOS file to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will
find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the phlash.bat (BIOS flash utility),
the platform.bin (platform file) and the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files. Copy
these files onto a bootable floppy and reboot your system. It is not neces­sary to set BIOS boot block protection jumpers on the motherboard. Flash
the boot block and enter the name of the update BIOS image file.

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs

that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include
chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers.

Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?

Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power

Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard
will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the
system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the
BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that
appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must
be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature
is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the PhoenixBIOS™ Setup utility for the X5DPR-TG2+.
The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded
using a floppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been
added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer
to the Manual Download area of the Supermicro web site
<http://www.supermicro.com> for any changes to BIOS that may not be
reflected in this manual.

System BIOS

The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®,
and PS/2® compatible computers. The PhoenixBIOS flash chip stores the
system parameters, such type of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the
CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When the
computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides power to the BIOS flash
chip, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the computer is
powered-on the computer is configured with the values stored in the BIOS
ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot-up.

How To Change the Configuration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be
changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be ac­cessed by pressing the <Delete> key at the appropriate time during system
boot, see below.

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory
test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the
main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access
the other setup screens, such as the Security and Power menus. Begin­ning with Section 4-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter
setting in the Setup utility.

Installing Software Drivers and Windows

Operating System

After all the hardware has been installed, you must first install the Silicon
Image SATA RAID Driver before you install the Windows operating system,
and other software drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the
Supermicro CDs that came packaged with your motherboard.

C-1 Installing Silicon Image's SATALInk Sil 3112 Host
Controller Driver

Serial ATA (SATA)

Serial ATA(SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with
a minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between
devices. It is a serial link which supports SATA Transfer rates up to
150MBps. Because the serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the
traditional cables used in Parallel ATA(PATA), SATA systems have better
airflow and can be installed in smaller chassis than Parallel ATA. In addition,
the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA
cables can extend up to one meter. Overall, Serial ATA provides better
functionality than Parallel ATA.

Silicon Image's Serial RAID (Sil 3112) Host Controller

Silicon Image's SATALInk Sil 3112 host controller provides Serial ATA
Software RAID, including striping and mirroring, to enhance the industry's
first PCI-to-SATA host controller products. RAID striping can greatly
improve hard disk I/O performance because of its capability in striping
data across multiple drives. RAID mirroring allows the data to be simulta­neously written to two drives, so critical data is always available even if
a single hard disk fails. Due to these two functionality, the Sil 3112 is
specially designed to keep pace with the increasing performance
demands of computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and
providing data accessibility regardless of a single disk failure. The
X5DPR-TG2+ offers the user with the benefits of SATARaid without the
high costs associated with hardware RAID applications.

C-2

SUPER X5DPR-TG2+ User's Manual

(*Notes: 1. Silicon Image Serial ATA RAID Function has been pre-installed
in the BIOS ROM, and the Sil 3112 host controller driver has been preset
to "Enabled" via a jumper (JPA1).

2. SerialRAID Configuration Utility will not be accessible if there is no
SATA Hard Drive installed in the system.

3. In order to enable the functions of RAID or to access the features of
RAID listed in the Serial ATA RAID Configuration Utility, you need to install

4. For the Windows OS, there are two SATA RAID drivers installed in
the CD ROM that came with your motherboard. If the function of "SATA
RAID Feature" is enabled in the BIOS, use the RAID Driver. If "disabled",
use the "Non-RAID Driver.

5. To configure RAID 0/1, you need to enable "SATA RAID Features" in
the BIOS.

6. To configure SATA ZCR, you need to disable "SATA RAID Features" in
the BIOS.
