PCI-E X16 Slot PCI Slots PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots The PCI slots allow you to insert expansion cards to meet your needs. When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Read the documentation for the expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration.
CPU INSTALLATION Please follow the steps below to install the CPU. 1.Use index finger and thumb to move metal lever so it is separated from the bottom steel shell grip hook. 2.Use index finger to lift the top steel shell. 3.Use index finger and thumb to place the CPU onto the plastic body (look for the gold arrow on the CPU. The gold arrow should point away from the lever pivot).
4. Use index finger and thumb to press down metal lever, the cap will be pushed up by the CPU; this may also be done by removing the cap beforehand. 5. Press the metal lever so it is secured in the bottom steel shell grip hook.
6. It’s recommended that the CPU heatsink be approved by Intel for use with the Prescott CPU. Choose the orientation of the thermal solution for optimal wire routing to the fan header on the motherboard, Position the thermal solution over the processor. Ensure the fan wiring is positioned to prevent wire pinching between the heatsink and the processor, or between the heatsink clip and the socket. 7.
9. Gently rotate the cap clockwise 1/4 turn. 10. At last, attach the fan wire connector to the 4 pin fan header connector on the motherboard labeled CPU FAN.
Install DDRII DIMMs Please follow the steps below to install DDRII DIMMs. 1. Locate the DDRII DIMM sockets. 2. Holding the DDRII DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package. 3. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the socket. Clip DDRII DIMM Clip DDRII DIMM Socket Notch 4. Position the DDRII DIMM above the socket. Align the middle notch in the bottom edge of the DDRII DIMM with the key in the socket. 5.
BIOS SETUP About the Setup Utility The motherboard uses the latest Award BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard BIOS. The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off.
Main Menu Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept and enter the sub-menu.
Load Fail-Safe Defaults The BIOS defaults that have been set by the manufacturer and represent settings which provide the minimum requirements for your system to operate. Load Optimized Defaults These chipset defaults are settings which provide for maximum system performance. While Award has designed the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the manufacturer has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs. Set Supervisor/ User Password Changes, sets, or disables password.
Date The date format is . . Time The time format is displayed in 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p. m. is displayed as 13:00:00. Primary These categories identify the types of the two channels that Master/Primary have been installed in the computer. Slave/Secondary Master/Secondary If the controller of the HDD interface is SCSI, the selection shall be “None”.
Set Supervisor/User Password When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. ENTER PASSWORD Type the password, up to eight characters, and press . The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press . You may also press to abort the selection.
FLASH Update Procedure The program AWDFLASH.EXE is included on the driver CD (D:\Utility\ AWDFLASH.EXE). Please follow the recommended procedure to update the flash BIOS, as listed below. 1. Create a DOS-bootable floppy diskette. Copy the new BIOS file (just obtained or downloaded) and the utility program AWDFLASH.EXE to the diskette. 2. Allow the PC system to boot from the DOS diskette. 3. At the DOS prompt, type AWDFLASH 4. Enter the file name of the new BIOS. 5.
SATA RAID USER MANUAL Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in the BIOS. During bootup, the following message will appear, pausing for a few moments to allow the user to choose what to do: Press Ctrl+S or F4 to enter RAID utility An easy-to-use screen will appear with the following choices in the top left: Create RAID Set Delete RAID Set Rebuild RAID Set Resolve Conflicts Below this will be listed the drives currently installed on the system.
What is Disk Copy? If the disk assigned as the source disk has already been partitioned and has data stored on it, and then a second disk is added for redundancy, the data on the source drive can be copied to the destination drive, so that the disks are identical, and all subsequent data will be written to both drives as a Mirrored set. If, however, the source disk does not have data already stored on it, there is no need for Disk Copy. 4.
DRIVER AND RAID SOFTWARE INSTALLATION Microsoft Windows Driver Installation 1. After Windows has finished booting up, the system will automatically find the newly installed adapter and prompt the Found New Hardware Wizard window. Click Cancel to skip it. 2. Insert the bundled driver CD into your CD-ROM drive and select “ATI Chipset\ATI_Raid Driver”installation bar on the dialogue window to begin the driver and software installation (Please follow the instructions to finish the installation).
