The 3301770 is built around a VIA MARK CoreFusion™ chipset which
combines integrated ProSavage4 Graphics with video controller and VIA
VT82C686B PCI to ISA bridge controller. The VIA MARK enables
high-performance graphics features by the 64-bit processing power and the AGP 4X,
32-bit true color rendering, Anisotropic filtering, single-pass multiple textures,
Specular lighting and diffuse shading, MPEG-2 playback, just to name a few.

The built-in ProSavage4 display controller supports both the CRT and LCD display
simultaneously.

It offers the resolutions of LCD screen up to 1600 x 1200 pixels,

with 36-bit DSTN/TFT flat panel interface with 256 gray shade support. The
extensive display support for LCD is capable of driving 2-channel 110MHz LVDS
interface with panel power sequencing and hardware suspend/standby control. The
onboard Flash ROM contains both the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS.
Modifications could be done by programming the Flash ROM if necessary.

With a specially designed aluminum heatsink, this board can operate without a
cooling fan at temperatures up to 60° C (140°F) and typically consumes low power
watts while supporting numerous peripherals.

OSes tested and proved compliant include: DOS 6.22, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Red Hat 9.0, and SuSe 9.0.

3-2

3301770

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.

Unpacking Precautions
Some components on the 3301770 are very sensitive to static electric charges and can be
damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to follow
these precautions:
z

Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching your PCB. You can do
so by using a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any
conducting materials that is connected to the ground.

Handle your PCB by its edges. Do not touch IC chips, leads or circuitry if not
necessary.

Do not plug or unplug any connector or jumper while the power is on.

Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag.

Only the inside of the bag is safe

from static discharge.

AMI BIOS Setup

4-1

3301770

Introduction
This chapter discusses AMI's Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows
users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in batterybacked RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the
system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system
configuration. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and
then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
1.
2.

By pressing immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of
the screen during the POST.
Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system
to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You
may also restart by simultaneously pressing , , and keys.

Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press to select, use the PageUp and
PageDown keys to change entries, press for help and press to quit. The following
table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press or the F1 key
again.
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is
able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to
its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly
recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have
been carefully chosen by both AMI and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute
maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has
the potential for causing you to use the override.

NOTE:
Your BIOS setup screen may slightly differ from the screenshots
shown in this chapter. This may result from the modification
changes made during BIOS update.

ALi® RAID for SATA

C-1

3301770

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.
up to mode 6 and SATA 1.0 disk drives.

The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode
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).

CAUTION!
You must properly configure the associated BIOS settings before the Ctlr+A
key combination can take effect.

Please refer to Chapter 4 AMI BIOS

Setup, the discussions of the associated configurations for more details.
SATA disk drive support must be initiated under the following two BIOS
sub-menus.
1. Boot -> Onboard SATA ROM

2. Chipset -> Southbridge Chipset Configuration
You will not be able to access the ALi configuration utility unless you have
properly initiated the SATA disk drive support in the AMI BIOS configuration
utility.

CAUTION!
A configured RAID volume (which may consist of multiple hard drives)
appears to an operating system as a contingent storage space.

Your

operating system will not be able to distinguish the physical disk drives
contained in a RAID configuration.

Precautions:
1. One key benefit a RAID configuration brings you is that a single hard drive can fail within a
RAID array without damaging your data.
and restore your RAID configuration.

C-2

With RAID1 array, you can replace a failed drive

3301770

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.

You

need a reminder if the cabling does not match the physical locations of hard drives.
2. It is also crucial that you do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables.

Carefully

route your cables within the chassis to avoid system down time.

2. Features and Benefits
„

Supports RAID levels 0, 1, and JBOD

„

Supports the connectivity to two disk drives

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.

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.
Otherwise the Windows installation program may fail to locate your hard drives whether you
configure your SATA disk drives into RAID volumes or use them as individual disk drives.

The system BIOS can identify SATA disk drives, but cannot control their operation. The separately
installed driver therefore is necessary.
