GA-8AENXP-DW Motherboard - 33 - English GA-8AENXP-DW Motherboard - 34 - BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM. When the power is turned on, pushing thebutton during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1". When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either GIGABYTE's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used. Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system. @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is achieved through data redundant operation, where if one drives fails, a mirrored copy of the data can be found on another drive. This can prevent data loss if the operating system fails or hangs. The individual disk drives in an array are called members. The configuration information of each member is recorded in the reserved sector that identifies the drive as a member. All disk members in a formed disk array are recognized as a single physical drive to the operating system. Hard disk drives can be combined together through a few different methods. The different methods are referred to as different RAID levels. Different RAID levels represent different performance levels, security levels and implementation costs. The RAID levels which the Intel ® ICH6R chipset supports are RAID 0 and RAID 1. The RAID levels with the Promise PDC20779 chip supports are RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 0 (Striping) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array. The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member. The Intel RAID striping block size can be set from 4KB to 64KB. RAID 0 does not support fault tolerance. RAID 1 (Mirroring) RAID 1 writes duplicate data onto a pair of drives and reads both sets of data in parallel. If one of the mirrored drives suffers a mechanical failure or does not respond, the remaining drive will continue to function. Due to redundancy, the drive capacity of the array is the capacity of the smallest drive. Under a RAID 1 setup, an extra drive called the spare drive can be attached. Such a drive will be activated to replace a failed drive that is part of a mirrored array. Due to the fault tolerance, if any RAID 1 drive fails, data access will not be affected as long as there are other working drives in the array. - 75 - Appendix English 4-1-4 Serial ATA BIOS Setting Utility Introduction English Please follow the steps below to construct a complete RAID array: 1) Have ready your hard drives for RAID construction. Note: To achieve best performance, it is recommended that the hard drives used are of similar make and storage capacity. 2) Please attach the hard drive connectors to their appropriate location on the motherboard ie. IDE, SCSI, or SATA. 3) Enter the motherboard BIOS and locate RAID setup (Please refer to the section on Integrated Peripherals). 4) Enter RAID setup in the BIOS and select the RAID type (For instance, enter Ctrl + I to select Intel RAID; Ctrl + S to select Silicon Image). 5) Complete driver installation. 6) Complete RAID utility installation. More information on steps 4 and 5 is provided. (For more detailed setup information, please visit "Support\ Motherboard\ Technology Guide section" on our website at http:\\www.gigabyte.com.tw to read or download the information you need.)

Without the driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, you have to copy the driver for the SATA controller on your motherboard from the motherboard driver CD to a floppy disk. See the instructions below about how to copy the driver. Step 1: Find an available Operation System and insert the motherboard driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation utility will appear automatically soon after you insert the driver CD. Quit the installation utility first. Insert a blank formatted floppy disk into the floppy disk drive. Step 2: Go to My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM icon (This procedure assumes Drive D) and select Open. Then you will see folders and files contained in the driver CD. Double-click the BootDrv folder icon and select MENU.exe (refer to Fig.1). (Note) Fig.1 (Note) Fig.2 Step 3: A MS-DOS prompt screen will appear. Information on all chipsets should be listed on the screen (Refer to Fig.2), please select the proper chipset model. Your system will then automatically zip and transfer this driver file to the floppy disk. After you complete the steps, boot from the Windows CD to install the RAID drivers. When install Windows 2000 or Windows XP from HDDs in serial ATA controller, press F6 as Win2000 or XP boots up, then supply serial ATA controller driver by this floppy disk. Follow on-screen instructions to complete installation. (Each time you add a new hard drive to a RAID array, the RAID driver will have to be installed under Windows once for that hard drive. After that, the driver will not have to be installed.) Note: In the menu list, Intel Application Accelerator 4.0 is Intel ICH6R chipset.

To check general asked questions based on a specific motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS. Why? Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options. Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down? Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down and that's why the light is still on. Question 3: How do I clear CMOS? Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the manual. If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below: Steps: 1. Turn off power. 2. Disconnect the power cord from MB. 3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem short for one minute). 4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder. 5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power. 6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults. 7. Save changes and reboot the system. Question 4: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS? Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing BIOS. However, if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem. Question 5: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume? Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not, please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later. Question 6: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card? Answer: Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so you don't need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA. Question 7: Why cannot I use the IDE 2? Answer: Please refer to the user manual and check whether you have connected any cable that is not provided with the motherboard package to the USB Over Current pin in the Front USB Panel. If the cable is your own cable, please remove it from this pin and do not connect any of your own cables to it.
