It is This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the system. supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Man- agement Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Important: • Power Failure Recovery The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA. When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system manually or let the system power-on automatically. • Wake-On-USB • USB This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state. The system board supports the new USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maximum transmission speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.0 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It is a marked improvement Important: in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the accessible external Plug and Play peripherals. 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.

• RTC Timer

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and time.

• ACPI STR

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Manage- ment and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows® without having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.

Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Chapter 6 - RAID Settings The system board allows configuring RAID on Serial ATA drives. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10. To enable the RAID function, the following settings are required. RAID Levels 1. Connect the Serial ATA drives. 2. Configure Serial ATA in the AMI BIOS. RAID 0 (Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance) 3. Configure RAID in the RAID BIOS. RAID 0 uses two new identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Data is divided into stripes and each stripe is written alternately between two disk 4. Install the RAID driver during OS installation. drives. This improves the I/O performance of the drives at different channel; however it is not fault tolerant. A failed disk will result in data loss in the disk array. 5. Install the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers. RAID 1 (Mirroring Disk Array with Fault Tolerance) Step 1: Connect the Serial ATA Drives

RAID 1 copies and maintains an identical image of the data from one drive to the other drive. Refer to chapter 2 for details on connecting the Serial ATA drives. If a drive fails to function, the disk array management software directs all applications to the other drive since it contains a complete copy of the drive’s data. This enhances data protection Important: and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or an existing drive and 1. Make sure you have installed the Serial ATA drives and connected the data cables a new drive but the size of the new drive must be the same or larger than the existing drive. otherwise you won’t be able to enter the RAID BIOS utility. 2. Treat the cables with extreme caution especially while creating RAID. A damaged RAID 5 cable will ruin the entire installation process and operating system. The system will not boot and you will lost all data in the hard drives. Please give special attention RAID 5 stripes data and parity information across hard drives. It is fault tolerant and provides to this warning because there is no way of recovering back the data. better hard drive performance and more storage capacity.

If the monitor is close to another monitor, the adjacent monitor may need to be turned off. 1. The power switch of each peripheral device is turned on. Fluorescent lights adjacent to the monitor may also cause screen wavering. 2. All cables and power cords are tightly connected. Power Supply 3. The electrical outlet to which your peripheral devices are connected is working. Test the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other electrical device. When the computer is turned on, nothing happens.

4. The monitor is turned on. 1. Check that one end of the AC power cord is plugged into a live outlet and the other end properly plugged into the back of the system. 5. The display’s brightness and contrast controls are adjusted properly. 2. Make sure that the voltage selection switch on the back panel is set for the correct type of 6.
