WAFER-LX User Manual 3.1 Considerations Prior to Installation Preparing Your Embedded Board The embedded board contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components, which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Thus, prior to installation, please follow the instructions below: 1. Please turn off the computer and unplug its power cord. 2. When handling the board, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors. 3.
WAFER-LX Airflow Consideration Although the embedded board can operate without active cooling, it is still necessary to install the board in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to travel through the heatsink surface. In a system with an individual power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow through the board surface.
WAFER-LX User Manual 3.2 Mechanical Diagrams - TBD Figure 3-1 Board Dimensions and Mounting Hole Locations NOTE: Use the mounting holes on the four corners of the PCB for securing within a chassis. Holes in the middle of the board are used for securing a heatsink. 3-4 3-4 IEI® Technology, Corp.
WAFER-LX 3.3 Jumper Settings NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the ins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a Figure 3-2 Jumper jumper.

WAFER-LX Appendix C ALi® RAID for SATA C-1 C-1
WAFER-LX User Manual 1. Introduction The ALi M5283 is a highly integrated disk drive controller that is capable of managing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA interface hard disk drives. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1.0 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also comes with cost-effective RAID functionalities that can be used to increase data read/write speed and to provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID1).
WAFER-LX However, if you replace the wrong drive when you are trying to remove a failed one, irrecoverable data loss will occur! It is therefore strongly recommended to mark the physical connections of all of your SATA disk drives. If a drive member of a RAID array should fail, you will then be able to correctly locate a failed drive. For example, you may specify the drive locations by attaching stickers to the drive bays.
WAFER-LX User Manual 3. SATA-ALi RAID Driver CAUTION! Because of the inherent limitations by system chipset, the ALi M5283 SATA and RAID controller is implemented as a device that requires you to provide device driver during the Windows installation process. To successfully install the device driver, please carefully read the following instructions. The ALi driver is especially required if SATA drives are the only hard disk drives in your system.
WAFER-LX Step 4. Boot from Windows installation CD-ROM (this requires you to set CD-ROM as the 1st Boot Device), when the Windows XP Setup blue screen appears and prompts users to Press F6 if you need to install third-party SCSI or RAID driver, please press the F6 key. Step 5. The setup program will continue, later when the setup program prompts users to specify additional adapters, please press the S key. Step 6. Then the setup program will prompt user to insert the driver diskette.
WAFER-LX User Manual to continue. Step 4. In the follow-up window, click Have Disk..., then insert the driver diskette and type in the driver location: e.g., a CD-ROM, then click OK to continue. Step 5. In the follow-up window, select ALi SATA/RAID Controller, then click Next to continue. Step 6. Confirm the follow-up windows and click the Finish button to continue. Step 7. Please "confirm" the Digital Signature Not Found window when it appears, when finished, please restart the computer. Step 8.
WAFER-LX 1. RAID BIOS Setup Menu: The Serial ATA RAID volume may be configured using the RAID Configuration utility stored within the ALi RAID controller ROM. The BIOS configuration screen is divided into three major functional areas: Main Functional Menu, Drive Selection Menu, and a list for the configured RAID arrays. 2. RAID Options: 2.1 Create RAID0 Striping for Performance Step 1. To create a RAID0 array, use your arrow keys to highlight and press Enter to activate this item.
WAFER-LX User Manual Step 3. You should then be prompted by a “Create RAID0(Y/N)” confirm box. Step 4. Press Y and then some necessary information will be written to the selected disk drives. WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If you use “used” drives to create a RAID array, make you have moved or backed up your data before creating a RAID array out of these disk drives. Step 5.
WAFER-LX NOTE: 1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposed certain limitations on the RAID configuration options. For example, Parallel-ATA drives connected on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID0 array. Mixing Parallel- and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID0 array should also be avoided. 2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array.
WAFER-LX User Manual 2.2 Create RAID1 Mirroring for Reliability Step 1. To create a RAID1 array, use your arrow keys to highlight and press Enter to activate this item. An ‘M’ flashing character will appear at the Drive Selection Menu where you can choose the member drives to be included in the RAID1 array. Step 2. Use the Space key to select members of the RAID1 RAID configuration. The flashing cursor should change to a lower case ‘m’ character once any of the connected disk drives has been selected.

WAFER-LX User Manual flashing character will appear at the Drive Selection Menu where you can choose the member drives to be included in the JBOD. Step 2. Use the Space key to select members of the JBOD configuration. The flashing cursor should change to a lower case ‘j’ character once any of the connected disk drives has been selected. Follow the same method to select another member drive. The maximum number of member drives in a JBOD is four and the minimum is two. Step 3.

For example, Parallel-ATA drives connected on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID1 array. Mixing Parallel- and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID1 array should also be avoided. 2.4 Stripe Size The change to stripe size takes effect on RAID0 arrays. Configurable options are: 64K (default), 32K, 16K, 8K, and 4K.
WAFER-LX User Manual WARNING! If you delete a RAID configuration, all data previously stored on the member drives of the RAID configuration will be destroyed. 2.6 Delete All RAID Setting & Partition Step 1. To delete all existing RAID configurations, use your arrow keys to highlight and press Enter to activate this item. Step 2. You should then be prompted by “Data on RAID drives will be erased (Y/N)?”. Step 3. Press Y and then all existing RAID configurations will be invalidated.
WAFER-LX 2.7 Rebuild RAID Array This function allows you to rebuild a RAID array if a member of a RAID configuration should fail. Neither RAID0 nor JBOD provides data redundancy. Therefore, this option only applies to RAID1 arrays. This item takes effect when a member of a RAID1 configuration has failed. Step 1. To delete all existing RAID configurations, use your arrow keys to highlight and press Enter to activate this item. Step 2.
