PAGE 207
IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard Edit “/etc/dhcpd.conf” for your environment. For example, add next-server PXE server IP address; filename “pxelinux.0”; B.6.2 Configure TFTP Settings Step 1: Install the tftp, httpd and syslinux. #yum install tftp-server httpd syslinux (CentOS) #apt-get install tftpd-hpa xinetd syslinux (Debian) Step 2: Enable the TFTP server by editing the “/etc/xinetd.d/tftp” file and make it use the remap file.
PAGE 208
IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard Debian Replace the TFTP settings from “inetd” to “xinetd” and annotate the “inetd” by adding “#”. #vi /etc/inetd.conf Modify: #tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin....... (as shown below) #vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp B.6.3 Configure One Key Recovery Server Settings Step 1: Copy the Utility/RECOVERYR10.TAR.BZ2 package from the One Key Recovery CD to the system (server side).
PAGE 209
IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard Step 2: Extract the recovery package to /. #cp RecoveryR10.tar.bz2 / #cd / #tar –xvjf RecoveryR10.tar.bz2 Step 3: Copy “pxelinux.0” from “syslinux” and install to “/tftboot”. #cp /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/ B.6.4 Start the DHCP, TFTP and HTTP Start the DHCP, TFTP and HTTP. For example: CentOS #service xinetd restart #service httpd restart #service dhcpd restart Debian #/etc/init.d/xinetd reload #/etc/init.d/xinetd restart #/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart B.6.

IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard WARNING: The file name of the factory default image must be iei.gho. Step 3: Confirm the operating system default settings: smb.conf. #vi /etc/samba/smb.conf Modify: [image] comment = One Key Recovery path = /share/image browseable = yes writable = yes public = yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 Step 4: Edit “/etc/samba/smb.conf” for your environment.

IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard B.6.6 Setup a Client System for Auto Recovery Step 1: Disable the automatically restart function before creating the factory default image. Go to: My Computer Æ Properties Æ Advanced. Click the Settings button of Startup and Recovery. Deselect “Automatically restart”. Click OK to save the settings and exit. (See Figure B-23) Figure B-42: Disable Automatically Restart Step 2: Configure the following BIOS options of the client system.

IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard Step 4: Save changes and exit BIOS menu. Exit Æ Save Changes and Exit Step 5: Install the auto recovery utility into the system by double clicking the Utility/AUTORECOVERY-SETUP.exe in the One Key Recovery CD. This utility MUST be installed in the system, otherwise, the system will automatically restore from the factory default image every ten (10) minutes. Step 6: Restart the client system from LAN.

IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard DIMM Dual Inline Memory Modules are a type of RAM that offer a 64-bit data bus and have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module. DIO The digital inputs and digital outputs are general control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.

IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard LVDS Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD displays to a computer. POST The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system performs when the system is turned-on. RAM Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that loses data when power is lost. RAM has very fast data transfer rates compared to other storage like hard drives.

IMBA-Q870-i2 ATX Motherboard D.1 Introduction The DIO connector on the IMBA-Q870-i2 is interfaced to GPIO ports on the Super I/O chipset. The DIO has both 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs. The digital inputs and digital outputs are generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions. NOTE: For further information, please refer to the datasheet for the Super I/O chipset.
