Important

OverheatingOverheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make surethe cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Makesure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) betweenthe CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.Replaceing the CPUWhile replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug thepower supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safetyof CPU.OverclockingThis mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please makesure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, whiledoing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications isnot recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks causedby inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

Hardware Setup

Important

- DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots.

- In Three/ Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules ofthe same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.

- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modulesinto the DIMM_A0 first.

- Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only bedetected up to 23+GB (not full 24GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GBmemory module.

- When you install incorrect memory module (the SA2-pin of the memorymodule connects to Ground) in the DIMM_C0/C1, the LED beside DIMM_C0will light red color to remind you. The position of the LED is shown as below.Double confirm with your memory module vender for the third channelsupports.

Installing Memory Modules1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right

orientation.

2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until thegolden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plasticclip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory moduleis properly seated.

3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slotclips at the sides.

Volt Notch

Important

You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly insertedin the DIMM slot.

Hardware Setup

ATI CrossFireXTM (Multi-GPU) TechnologyATI CrossFireXTM is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Enablinggame-dominating power, ATI CrossFireXTM technology enables two or more discretegraphics processors to work together to improve system performance. ATI CrossFireXtechnology allows you to expand your system’ss graphics capabilities. It allows youthe ability to scale your system’s graphics horsepower as you need it, supporting upto two or more ATI RadeonTM HD graphics cards, making this the most scalable gamingplatform ever. The mainboard can auto detect the CrossFireXTM mode by software,therefore you don’t have to enable the CrossFireXTM in BIOS by yourself. The follow-ing details the 2-way CrossFireXTM installation.1. Install one ATI RadeonTM HD graphics card in the first PCIE x16 (PCI_E2) slot , then

install one ATI RadeonTM HD graphics card in the second PCIE x16 (PCI_E4) slot.2. With two cards installed, an CrossFireXTM Video Link cable is required to connect

the golden f ingers on the top of these two graphics cards (refer to the picturebelow). Please note that although you have installed two or more graphics cards,only the video outputs on the graphics card installed in PCI_E2 will work. Hence,you only need to connect a monitor to this graphics card.

CrossFireXTM Video Link cable

Important

1. Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration only. Theappearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.

2. If you intend to install TWO graphics cards for CrossFireXTM mode, makesure that:

a. these graphics cards are of the same brand and specifications; b. these graphics cards are installed on PCIE_E2 & PCI_E4 slots.3. Make sure that you connect an adequate power supply to the power connec-

tor on the graphics card to ensure stable operation of the graphics card.4. Only Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)& Windows® XP Profes -sional x64 Edition & Windows® Vista support the CrossFireXTM function.

BIOS Setup

Primary Graphic’s AdapterThis setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter.

PCI Latency TimerThis item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takesover. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for alonger time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI performance,you should set the item to higher values.

CPU FeaturePress <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:

Hyper-Threading TechnologyThe processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction ratesand reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two coresinside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructionssimultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If youdisable the function, the processor wil l use only one core to execute theinstructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’tsupport HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Important

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computersystem requires ALL of the following platform Components:

* CPU: An Intel® Processor with HT Technology;* Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology;* BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled;* OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology.

For more information on Hyper-threading Technology, go to:www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading

Execute Bit SupportIntel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious"buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by whereapplication code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious wormattempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution,preventing damage or worm propagation.

ACPI FunctionThis item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power ManagementInterface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 2000/XP, select [Enabled].

ACPI Standby StateThis item specif ies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operatingsystem supports ACPI, such as Windows XP, you can choose to enter the Standbymode in S1(POS) or S3(STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Settings are:

[S1] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no systemcontext is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all systemcontext.

[S3] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation ofsystem configuration and open applications/files is saved to mainmemory that remains powered while most other hardware compo-nents turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory willbe used to restore the system when a “wake up” event occurs.

Important

S3-related functions described in this section are available only when yourBIOS supports S3 sleep mode.

1N/2N Memory TimingThis item controls the SDRAM command rate. Select [1N] makes SDRAM signalcontroller to run at 1N (N=clock cycles) rate. Selecting [2N] makes SDRAM signalcontroller run at 2N rate.

CAS# Latency (CL)This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles)before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it.

tRCDWhen DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately.This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS(row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clockcycles, the faster the DRAM performance.

tRPThis setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to beallowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate itscharge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail toretain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in thesystem.

tRASThis setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to memorycell.

Advanced Memory SettingSetting to [Auto] enables the advance memory timing automatically to be determinedby BIOS. Setting to [Manual] allows you to set advanced memory timings.

BIOS Setup

are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting atDisabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you areoverclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clockspeed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

1. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] foroptimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.

2. The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced,and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable SpreadSpectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.

3. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking becauseeven a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed whichmay just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

Introduction

Important

The least number of hard drives for RAID 0, RAID 1, Recovery or Matrixmode is 2. The least number of hard drives for RAID 10 mode is 4. And theleast number of hard drives for RAID 5 mode is 3.All the information/ volumes/ pictures listed in your system might differ fromthe illustrations in this appendix.

The ICH10R provides a hybrid solution that combines 6 independent SATAII ports forsupport of up to 6 Serial ATAII (Serial ATAII RAID) drives.

Serial ATAII (SATAII) is the latest generation of the ATA interface. SATA hard drivesdeliver blistering transfer speeds up to 3 Gb/s. Serial ATA uses long, thin cables,making it easier to connect your drive and improving the airflow inside your PC. Themost outstanding features are:

1. Supports 3 Gb/s transfers with CRC error checking.2. Supports Hot-plug-n-play feature.3. Data handling optimizations including tagged command queuing, elevator

seek and packet chain command.

Intel® ICH10R offers RAID level 0 (Striping), RAID level 1 (Mirroring and Duplexing),RAID level 5 (Block Interleaved Distributed Parity), RAID level 10 (A Stripe of Mirrors), Intel® Martix Storage Technology and Intel® Rapid Recover Technology.

RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreadingthe hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance.

RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives andprovides enhanced read performance.

RAID 5 Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correctioninformation. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance. Level 5 isone of the most popular implementations of RAID.

RAID 10 Not one of the original RAID levels, multiple RAID 1 mirrors are created, anda RAID 0 stripe is created over these.

Intel Matrix RAID Technology is the advanced ability for two RAID volumes to sharethe combined space of two hard drives being used in unison.

Intel Rapid Recover Technology utilizes RAID 1 functionality to copy data from adesignated Master drive to a designated Recovery drive. The size of the Master drivemust be less than or equal to the size of the Recovery drive. W hen a Recoveryvolume is created, complete capacity of the Master drive will be used as the Mastervolume. Only one Recovery Volume can exist on a system. There are 2 methods ofupdating the data on the Master to the Recovery drive. They are Continuous UpdatePolicy and On Request Update Policy.

6. Then the following screen appears for you to confirm if you are sure tocreate the RAID volume. Press <Y> to continue.

7. Then the following screen appears to indicate that the creation is finished.

Important

Since you want to create two volumes (Intel Matrix RAID Technology), thisdefault size (maximum) needs to be reduced. Type in a new size for the firstvolume. As an example: if you want the first volume to span the first half of thetwo disks, re-type the size to be half of what is shown by default. The secondvolume, when created, will automatically span the remainder of two harddrives.

2. Press the “S” key to select “Specify Additional Device”.3. You should be prompted to insert a f loppy disk containing the Intel® RAID

driver into the A: drive.Note: For Windows XP, you can use the USB floppy drive only. For Windows Vista you can use CD/ DVD/ USB drive.

Important

Please follow the instruction below to make an “Intel® RAID Driver” foryourself.1. Insert the MSI DVD into the DVD-ROM drive.2. Click the “Browse DVD” on the Setup screen.3. Copy all the contents in \\RAID\Intel\ICH10R\Floppy to a formatted floppy

diskette.4. The driver diskette for Intel® ICH10R RAID Controller is done.

4. For Windows Vista:During the Operating system installation, after selecting the location to installVista click on “Load Driver” button to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.

5. When prompted, insert the floppy disk or media (CD/DVD or USB) you createdin step 3 and press Enter.

RAID Migration Instructions

Important

A Create from Existing Disk operation will delete all existing data from theadded disk and the data cannot be recovered. It is critical to backup allimportant data on the added disk before proceeding. However, during themigration process, the data on the source disk is preserved.

The Intel Matrix Storage Console offers the flexibility to upgrade from a single SerialATA (SATA) hard drive to RAID configuration when an additional SATA hard drive isadded to the system. This process will create a new RAID volume from an existingdisk. However, several important steps must be followed at the time the system isf irst configured in order to take advantage of RAID when upgrading to a secondSATA hard drive:

1. BIOS must be configured for RAID before installing Windows on the singleSATA hard drive. Refer to BIOS section properly setting.

2. Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Driver during Windows Setup.Refer to Installing Software for instructions on installing the driver dur-ing Windows Setup.

3. Install the Intel Matrix Storage Console after the operating system is installed.To create a volume from an existing disk, complete the following steps:

After the Intel Matrix Storage Console has been successfully installed and the sys-tem has rebooted, click on the Intel Application Accelerator shortcut link (Start --> AllPrograms --> Intel Matrix Storage Manager --> Intel Matrix Storage Console)and the following window will appear:

(1) Configure VolumeHere you can configure the new RAID volume by entering the volume name, selectingthe RAID level and strip size.

RAID Volume Name:A desired RAID volume name needs to be typed in where the ‘Volume_0000’ textcurrently appears above. The RAID volume name has a maximum limit of 16 characters.The RAID volume name must also be in English alphanumeric ASCII characters.

RAID Level:Select the desired RAID level:

RAID 0 (Performance) – A volume optimized for performance will allow you toaccess your data more quickly.

RAID 1 (Redundancy) – A volume optimized for data redundancy will provideyou with a realtime duplicate copy of your data. Note:Only half of the available volume space will be avail-able for data storage.

RAID 5 (Useful) – RAID 5 can be used on three or more disks, with zeroor more spare-disks. The resulting RAID-5 device sizewill be (N-1)*S, where N is the how many drive, S is thesize of the smallest drive in the array. If one of the disksfail, all data are still intact. It can rebuild the disk fromthe parity information. If spare disks are available, re-construction will begin immediately after the devicefailure. If two disks fail simultaneously, all data are lost.RAID-5 can survive one disk failure, but not two ormore. Both read and wri te performance usuallyincrease, but can be hard to predict how much. Readsare similar to RAID-0 reads, writes can be either rather

expensive (requiring read-in prior to write, in order tobe able to calculate the correct parity information), orsimilar to RAID-1 writes. The write efficiency dependsheavily on the amount of memory in the machine, andthe usage pattern of the array. Heavily scattered writesare bound to be more expensive.

RAID 10 (Mirrored Stripes) –A RAID 1 array of two RAID 0 arrays. Strip Sizes:Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB. Se-lecting any other option may result in performance degradation. Even though 128KBis the recommended setting for most users, you should choose the strip size valuewhich is best suited to your specific RAID usage model. The most typical strip sizesettings are:

4KB: For specialized usage models requiring 4KB strips8KB: For specialized usage models requiring 8KB strips16KB: Best for sequential transfers32KB: Good for sequential transfers64KB: Good general purpose strip size128KB: Best performance for most desktops and workstations

(2) Select the source diskThen select the source disk that you wish to use and then click “--->” to move it to theSelected field. Then click Next to continue.It is very important to note which disk is the source disk (the one containing all of theinformation to be migrated) and which one is the target disk. On a RAID Readysystem, this can be determined by making a note during POST of which port the singledisk is attached to.You can also use the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition utility before thesecond disk is installed to verify the Port and serial number of the drive that containsall the data.

(4) Specify Volume SizeSpecify the amount of available array space to be used by the new RAID volume. Youmay enter the amount in the space or use the slider to specify. It is recommended youuse 100% of the available space for the optimized usage. For RAID 0 volume, if youdo not specify 100% of the hard drive space, the rest hard drive space will beworked as RAID 1 volume, which is the new technology called Intel Matrix RAID. Thenclick Next to continue.

(5) Start Creating RAID Volume from Existing Hard Drive WizardBefore you continue the procedure of RAID volume creation from existing hard drive,read the dialogue box below carefully. Please note that once you click Finish, theexisting data on the selected hard drive(s) will be deleted permanently and thisoperation cannot be undone. It is critical that you backup all important data beforeselecting Finish to start the migration process.

(6) Start MigrationThe migration process may take up to two hours to complete depending on the sizeof the disks being used and the strip size selected. A dialogue window will appearstating that the migration process may take considerable time to complete, meanwhilea popup dialogue at the taskbar will also show the migration status. While you can stillcontinue using your computer during the migration process, once the migration proc-ess starts, it cannot be stopped. If the migration process gets interrupted and yoursystem is rebooted for any reason, it will pick up the migration process where it leftoff. You will be provided with an estimated completion time (the remaining time willdepend on your system) once the migration process starts.

The following screen appears if the migration process is completed successfully.Then you have to reboot your system to use the full capacity of the new volume.

A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as degraded when one of its harddrive members fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring is lost. As aresult, the system can only utilize the remaining functional hard drive member. To re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedure belowthat corresponds to the current situation.

Missing Hard Drive Member1. Make sure the system is powered off.2. Reconnect the hard drive.3. Reboot the system to Windows; the rebuild will occur automatically.

Failed Hard Drive Member1. Make sure the system is powered off.2. Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater

capacity.3. Reboot the system to Intel RAID Option ROM by press <Ctrl> and <I> keys

simultaneously during the Power-On Self Test (POST).

Degraded RAID Array

4. Select the port of the destination disk for rebuilding, and then press ENTER.
