Hardware Setup  
Central Processing Unit: CPU  
The mainboard supports dual AMD® Opteron processors. The mainboard uses two  
CPU sockets called Socket 940 for easy CPU installation. You can install SINGLE or  
DUAL CPUs on the mainboard to meet your own needs. Keep the following points in  
mind before installing CPU(s).  
1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket.  
CPU1  
CPU2  
2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs  
running at the same frequency.  
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a Heat Sink and a  
cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the  
Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before  
turning on the computer.  
For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com.

MSI Reminds You...  
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make  
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from  
overheating.  
The system temperature needs to remain under 45°C.  
We highly recommend that the direction of inlet air should follow the  
direction indicated above for better cooling effect.

Jumper  
The motherboard provides the following jumpers for you to set the computers function.  
This section will explain how to change your motherboards function through the use  
of jumpers.  
Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1  
There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep  
the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically  
boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, use  
the JBAT1 (Clear CMOS Jumper ) to clear data.

Slots  
This mainboard provides one AGP Pro slot and four 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots.  
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Pro Slot  
AGP Pro is a Hardware Interface for high-power graphics cards which can deliver  
more electrical power than the standard AGP Hardware Interface. It is simply an  
extended slot that adds power pins to both ends of the slot to facilitate certain  
graphics cards' added power requirements. Because of its added pins, an AGP Pro  
card won't fit into a standard slot.  
For the same reason, however, motherboards with a wider AGP Pro slot can accom-  
modate a standard card. In this case, the added power pins of an AGP Pro slot go  
safely unused.  
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots  
The PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs. When  
adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply  
first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any neces-  
sary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers,  
switches or BIOS configuration.  
PCI Interrupt Request Routing  
The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines  
over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ  
pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:  
Order 1

Introduction  
This section gives a brief introduction on the RAID-related background knowledge  
and a brief introduction on VIA SATA RAID Host Controller. For users wishing to install  
their VIA SATA RAID driver and RAID software, proceed to Driver and RAID Soft-  
ware Installation section.  
RAIDBasics  
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two or more  
hard disk drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better  
performance or data fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is achieved through data redun-  
dant 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 sectorthat 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 VIA VT8237 SATA RAID Host Controller supports are RAID  
0 and RAID 1. The table below briefly introduced these RAID levels.  
RAID Level No. of Drives

RAID 1

Number drives * 2 Highest performance without  
data protection

Data protection  
(Mirroring)  
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 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.

After array mode is selected, there are two methods to create a disk array. One  
method is Auto Setupand the other one is Select Disk Drives. Auto Setup  
allows BIOS to select the disk drives and create arrays automatically, but it does not  
duplicate the mirroring drives even if the user selected Create and duplicate for  
RAID 1. It is recommended all disk drives are new ones when wanting to create an  
array. Select Disk Drives lets the user select the array drives by their requirements.  
When using Select Disk Drives, the channel column will be activated. Highlight the  
target drives that you want to use and press <Enter> to select them. After all drives  
have been selected, press <Esc> to go back to the creation steps menu.

Duplicate Critical RAID 1 Array  
When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if the RAID 1 array has any inconsis-  
tencies between user data and backup data. If BIOS detects any inconsistencies, the  
status of the disk array will be marked as critical, and BIOS will prompt the user to  
duplicate the RAID 1 in order to ensure the backup data consistency with the user  
data.  
If user selects Continue to boot, it will enable duplicating the array after booting  
into OS.  
Rebuild Broken RAID 1 Array  
When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if any member disk drives of RAID has  
failed or is absent. If BIOS detects any disk drive failures or missing disk drives, the  
status of the array will be marked as broken.  
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is a spare hard drive available for  
rebuilding the broken array, the spare hard drive will automatically become the mirror-  
ing drive. BIOS will show a main interface just like a duplicated RAID 1. Selecting  
Continue to boot enables the user to duplicate the array after booting into operat-  
ing system.  
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is no spare hard drive available for  
rebuilding the array, BIOS will provide several operations to solve such problem.

1. Power off and Check the Failed Drive:  
This item turns off the computer and replaces the failed hard drive with a good one.  
If your computer does not support APM, you must turn off your computer manually.  
After replacing the hard drive, boot into BIOS and select Choose replacement  
drive and rebuild to rebuild the broken array.  
2. Destroy the Mirroring Relationship:  
This item cancels the data mirroring relationship of the broken array. For broken RAID  
1 arrays, the data on the surviving disk will remain after the destroy operation.  
However, Destroy the Mirroring Relationship is not recommend because the  
data on the remaining disk will be lost when the hard drive is used to create another  
RAID 1 array.  
3. Choose Replacement Drive and Rebuild:  
This item enables users to select an already-connected hard drive to rebuild the  
broken array. After choosing a hard drive, the channel column will be activated.  
Highlight the target hard drive and press <Enter>, a warning message will appear.
