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.

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. It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) cuff when handling electronic components

(CPU, RAM).

4. Prior to installing the electronic components, please have these items on top of an antistatic

pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.

5. Please verify that the power supply is switched off before unplugging the power supply

connector from the motherboard.

Installation Notices

1. Prior to installation, please do not remove the stickers on the system board. These stickers are

required for warranty validation.

2. Prior to the installation of the system board or any hardware, please first carefully read the

information in the provided manual.

3. Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors are connected.

4. To prevent damage to the PCB board, please do not allow screws to come in contact with the

PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components.

5. Please make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the PCB board

or within the computer casing.

6. Please do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

7. Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user.

8. If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product, please consult a certified computer technician.

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:

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.

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 jumper. Figure 3-2 Jumper

JP1 (Clear CMOS)

In case the embedded board fails to boot due to user’s improper BIOS setting, this jumper can be

used to clear the CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. To clear the CMOS

contents, shunt pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds, and then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1

and 2.

If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message displays during the boot up process, you may then try to

correct the fault by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. You may then enter the

correct CMOS setting, Load Optimal Defaults, or Load Failsafe Defaults. Save your changes and

exit the CMOS Setup menu.

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 battery-

backed 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. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> 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 <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and

PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following

table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

3301770

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 <Esc> 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.

Watchdog Timer

A-1

3301770

NOTE:

The following discussion applies to DOS environment. It is recommended

you contact GAI support or visit our website for specific drivers for more

sophisticated operating systems, e.g., Windows and Linux.

The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from

catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by EMI

or a software bug. When the CPU stops working normally, hardware on the board will perform

hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

Three I/O ports control the Watchdog Timer:

443 Write Set Watchdog time period

443 (hex) Read Enable the refresh to the Watchdog Timer

043/843 (hex) Read Disable the Watchdog Timer

Table -1 I/O Ports to Watchdog Timer

Prior to enable the Watchdog Timer, users have to define the Timer first. The output data is a

value of time interval and the range of the value is from 01 (hex) to FF (hex) and the range for time

interval ranges from 1 second to 255 seconds.

DATA TIME INTERVAL

01 1 sec

02 2 sec

04 4 sec

- - - - - -

FF 255 sec

Table -2 Watchdog Timer Output Data

This will enable and activate the countdown timer which eventually time out and reset the CPU to

ensure that this reset condition does not occur; the Watchdog Timer must be periodically

refreshed by reading the same I/O port 043/843H and 443H. This must be done within the time

out period that is selected by software, please refer to the example program.

A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating

system (DOS), such as disk I/Os that can be very time consuming. Therefore, if the timeout

period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds.

NOTE:

When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer,

otherwise the system will reset.

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. 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).

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. With RAID1 array, you can replace a failed drive

and restore your RAID configuration.

C-2

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

„

The supported Operating Systems include: Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000, and

Windows XP

„

Windows-based software for RAID management

C-3

3301770

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.

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.

ALi SATA Controller Driver Installation Steps

- During Windows XP Installation

Step 1. Enable SATA ROM using the BIOS configuration utility. The SATA ROM option is

provided in the Southbridge chipset menu. The process has been detailed in

Chapter 4.

Step 2. Locate the ALi installation driver folder within the Utility CD that came with your

motherboard.

Step 3. Copy files under a sub-directory named “SATA50XX” (taking Windows XP installation

as the example) to the root directory of floppy diskette (labeled driver diskette). The

file names are listed below:

„

disk1

„

5283096D.bin

„

txtsetup.oem

Also copy the OS option directory “win98_me”, “win_nt”, or “win_xp”, and related

driver files in each directory.

C-4

3301770

Step 4. Boot from Windows installation CD-ROM (this requires you to set CD-ROM as the 1

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. Please insert

finished, please restart the computer.

Step 8. Repeat step 1, but select ALi ATA/RAID Controller at step 4.

4. Accessing the ALi RAID Utility

If the SATA ROM configuration options in system BIOS have been properly configured, the RAID

BIOS version and disk drive information should appear after system POST screen.

The BIOS disk drive information should look like the following:

ALi RAID BIOS V1.XX

Identifying IDE drives…

Channel 1 Master: Maxtor xxxxxx

Channel 2 Master: Maxtor xxxxxx

Press Ctrl-A to enter ALi RAID BIOS setup utility

To enter the RAID configuration utility, press ‘Ctrl’ and ‘A’ keys simultaneously.

C-6

3301770

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. An ‘S’ flashing character will appear at the Drive

Selection Menu where you can choose the member drives to be included in

the RAID0 array.

Step 2. Use the Space key to select members of the RAID0 RAID configuration.

The flashing cursor should change to a lower case ‘s’ character once any of

the connected disk drives has been selected. Follow the same method to

select another member drive.

C-7

3301770

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. Next you will be prompted to enter a nickname for the created array.

Upper and lower case alphabetic, numeric, space, and underscore

characters are all applicable for naming an array.

Step 6. Once an array is successfully created, it will be listed in the list of the

configured arrays.

C-8

3301770

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. The

excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data

stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array. The

operational concept is diagrammed below.

C-9

3301770

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. Follow the same method

to select another member drive.

Step 3. You should then be prompted by a “Create RAID1(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. Next you will be prompted to provide a nickname for the created array.

Upper and lower case alphabetic, numeric, space, and underscore

characters are all applicable for naming an array.

Step 6. Once an array is successfully created, it will be listed in the list of the

configured arrays.

Step 7. Lastly a prompt will require you to proceed with drive copy. The Source

and Destination drives will be indicated as “M” and “m” in the Drive

Selection Menu.

C-10

3301770

NOTE:

1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposed 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 RAID1 array. Mixing Parallel- and Serial-ATA disk drives

in a RAID1 array should also be avoided.

2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array.

The excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because

data mirrors are equally distributed across corresponding members of

drive pairs within a RAID array. The operational concept is

diagrammed below.

2.3 Create JBOD for Integrated Capacity

Step 1. JBOD stands for “Just a Bunch of Drives.” JBOD provides neither

performance gains nor data redundancy. To create a JBOD array, use

your arrow keys to highlight and press Enter to activate this item. A ‘J’

C-11

3301770

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. You should then be prompted by a “Create RAID1(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. Next you will be prompted to provide a nickname for the created array.

Upper and lower case alphabetic, numeric, space, and underscore

characters are all applicable for naming an array.

Step 6. Once an array is successfully created, it will be listed in the list of the

configured arrays.

C-11

3301770

NOTE:

To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposed 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 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. If you can be certain that your I/Os to the hard

drives are small and randomly occurred, you can select a small stripe size. If your

I/Os are mostly large and come in sequential orders, e.g., A/V playback and editing

applications, choose a larger stripe size.

The default value, 64K, should be appropriate for most applications.

2.5 Delete RAID Setting & Partition

Step 1. To delete an existing RAID configuration, use your arrow keys to highlight

and press Enter to activate this item. An ‘E’ flashing character will appear

at the Drive Selection Menu where you can choose the member drives to be

removed from an existing configuration.

Step 2. You should then be prompted by “Data on RAID drives will be erased

(Y/N)?”.

Step 3. Press Y and then the RAID configuration will be invalidated.

C-13

3301770

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.

WARNING!

If you delete a RAID configuration, all data previously stored on the member

drives of the RAID configuration will be destroyed.

C-14

3301770

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. An “R” flashing character should appear at the list of existing arrays.

Step 3. The source and destination drives will be displayed.

Step 4. Press Y to begin the rebuild process.

Step 5. During the rebuild process, the rebuild progress will be indicated by a status

bar. Rebuild consumes considerable system resources and the time

required for rebuilding a RAID array may vary depending on the size of

stored data, disk drive capacity, and drive performance.

2.8 Select Boot Drive

Step 1. To select a Boot drive, use your arrow keys to highlight and press Enter to

activate this item.

Step 2. An “A” flashing character should appear at the Drive Selection Menu.
