APPENDIX A ALi M5283 106
Introduction 1.1 What is ALi M5283 controller ALi M5281/M5283 is a high integration IDE controller that supports both Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA interfaces. It supports PATA UDMA mode transfer up to mode 6 and SATA 1.0 drives. M5281/M5283 also provides a cost-effective solution of RAID functions for the performance and reliability.
Channel 2 Master: WDC WD360GD-00F Channel 3 Master: Maxtor 6Y200M0 Press Ctrl-A to enter ALi RAID BIOS setup utility When RAID BIOS is waiting after identifying drives, press ‘Ctrl’ and ‘A’ simultaneously to enter the setup menu: 2.
There are three major areas in the RAID BIOS setup screen: Main Menu, Drive Select Menu and RAID Array List: 2.2 Main Menu In Main Menu, the user has several options to operate RAID: 2.2.1 Create RAID 0 Striping for Performance 1. Press ‘Enter’ key to activate this item. An ‘S’ flash cursor appears at the Drive Select Menu for the user to choose the first drive for RAID 0. 2. Use ‘Space’ key to choose the desired drive for RAID 0.
Warning: Make sure the data in drives is no longer in use before creating RAID Array. 5. Next, the Array Name input line appears for the user to key in a name for the newly created array. The effective characters for an array name is ‘0’-‘9’, ‘A’-‘Z’, ‘a’-‘z’, space and underscore. 6. After the RAID array has been created successfully, its information shows up at RAID Array List. Note: RAID 0 cannot be used for parallel ATA drives connected at the same channel.
7. Lastly a prompt message asks whether to do drive copy. The source and destination drives are the ones indicated as ‘M’ and ‘m’ in ‘Drive Select Menu’ respectively. Note: RAID 1 cannot be used for parallel ATA drives connected at the same channel. RAID 1 cannot be used for mixed parallel and serial ATA drives. 2.2.3 Create JBOD for integrated Capacity 1. Press ‘Enter’ key to activate this item. A ‘J’ flash cursor appears at the ‘Drive Select Menu’ for the user to choose the first drive for JBOD. 2.
2.2.5 Delete RAID Setting & Partition 1. Press ‘Enter’ key to activate this item. An ‘E’ flash cursor appears at the ‘Drive Select Menu’ for the user to choose defined array drive to be deleted. 2. ‘Data on RAID drives will be erased (Y/N)?’ prompt message shows up to confirm the user’s selection. 3. Press ‘Y’ key, and then the data in drivers is destroyed. Warning: Make sure the data in drives is no longer in use before deleting RAID Array. 4. ‘RAID array List” automatically updates itself. 2.2.
2.2.8 Select Boot Drive 1. Press ‘Enter’ key to activate this item. A ‘B’ flash cursor appears at the ‘Drive Select Menu’ for the user to choose the boot drive. 2. Press ‘Enter’ or ‘Space’ Key to finish selection. Note: The boot drive affects how the operation system treats the order of other drives. Take the above BIOS screen as an example, if Channel 3 is the boot drive, the operation system will use the order of Channel 3 Master, Channel 1 Master, Channel 1 Slave, Channel 4 Master consecutively. 2.
APPENDIX B Flashing BIOS ROM 114
How to flash your motherboard's system BIOS: To flash your system BIOS to a different version, follow the following steps: 1. Download the BIOS for your motherboard from our website 2. Copy the BIOS .BIN file onto a clean, formatted floppydisk 3. Insert the floppydisk into your system. 4. Restart your system until you see the Dragon Logo. Press TAB immediately.
5. Press ALT+F2 to start up AWDFLASH.
6. AWARD flash will now automatically flash your BIOS and reset when it is done.
APPENDIX C Troubleshooting 118
Troubleshooting at First Start Boot-up Issues The system does not power-up, no beeping sound heard and the CPU fan does not turn on. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Check if the power cord is plugged in the power source. Check if the power is connected to the M/B. (both the ATX 12V and the ATX connector) Check if the cable of the case power button is connected to the M/B power button connector (see connectors and plug-ins in this manual for more info). Make sure the power supply is not defective. Change the power supply.
The system powers up, no video, but beeping is heard. 1. Clear the CMOS ram. (JP5 connector, see the manual for more info on how to clear the CMOS). 2. Check if the memory module and the VGA card are inserted properly in the M/B. 3. If yes, change the memory module, it might be defective. Make sure the memory specification is supported by the M/B. (for more info on this, check our FAQ on our website). 4. Change the VGA card. Make sure the AGP card is 1.5v, not 3.3v.
During Boot-up, my computer says CMOS memory Checksum error. What is the problem? This error occurs if you: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Clear CMOS memory. Redo your CMOS setup settings. If your battery is empty the error will occur more frequently. You will need to replace the battery in this case. If the problem persists, re-flash the BIOS. If all fails your BIOS chip is failing and needs to be replaced. Change the CMOS battery. Re-flash BIOS. The BIOS chip might be failing.
My system intermittently locks up, during Windows installation. 1. 2. 3. Go to BIOS and load the optimized defaults. Check our website for any BIOS updates. If it still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except CPU (and CPU Fan)/ Memory/ Video card/Hard disk. See if you can finish Windows installation. Then put peripherals in one by one to identify which one causes the lockup.
Note: That flashing from the BIOS is only possible if you use a normal floppy drive. It can’t flash from any other device. After flashing the BIOS, my system will not boot-up. 1. 2. Try clearing the CMOS ram. The BIOS chip is defective due to an unsuccessful flash, contact your nearest SOYO branch for re-flashing. Is there a way to reprogram my BIOS after an unsuccessful flash? No other way, you need to send back the BIOS ROM to your nearest SOYO branch for re-flashing.
I cannot get the sound working on my system. 1. Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector on the M/B. Make sure the SPDIF card cable isn’t connected the wrong way around. 2. Check if your speakers are powered on. 3. Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc. 4. Check BIOS setup if “onboard audio” is enabled. 5. If sound is already installed, check our website for an audio driver update.
Sometimes the system finds my CD-ROM, sometimes not 1. Check CD-ROM if it is working properly. 2. The power supply might not have enough wattage to support all the peripherals. If your system has other peripherals connected, like CD-RW, extra HDD, etc. disconnect them. When I boot up my new computer I get "floppy boot failure" and the LED on the floppy stays on 1.
LAN Issues I have problem installing Novell NetWare v.50 Disable the APIC option in the BIOS. For updated FAQs, please check http://www.soyogroup.
