BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores all the information of the motherboard settings
that is needed for system initiation as well as examining the CMOS. Its CMOS SETUP utility
allows the user to make changes in BIOS configurations that are required or to activate
certain features.
The CMOS SETUP saves each item configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the required power
to the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On
Self Test) will bring up the CMOS SETUP screen. If you wish to enter the BIOS setup, please
press "Ctrl + F1" at the BIOS setup screen.
When using BIOS setup for the first time, it is recommended that you save the present BIOS
onto a disk in case you need to reset the BIOS back to its original settings. If you wish to
update to a new BIOS, the BIOSNow! can be used.
The user can select BIOSNow! as a way to quickly and easily update or back up BIOS
without entering the operating system.

Installation of SATA RAID Disks
The Serial ATA channel controlled by the SiS 964 southbridge chip supports RAID 0 and
RAID 1. This section explains the steps required to configure RAID disks.
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk
drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance
or data fault tolerance. Hard disk drives can be combined together through a few
different methods. The different methods are referred to as different RAID levels. Differ-
ent RAID levels represent different performance levels, security levels and implementa-
tion costs.
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. RAID 0 does not
provide fault tolerance funtionality.
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. 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.
5.1.
Configuring the System BIOS for the SATA Channel
1. Connect two SATA hard disks to the SATA ports on the motherboard.
2. Reboot you system and press the <Delete> key to enter the BIOS setup screen after
POST begins.
3. Under Integrated Peripherals, locate the SATA controller and SATA mode setup
options. Assure that the SATA controller and SATA RAID mode are enabled.
4. Save changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
5.2.
Creating RAID 0
1. Upon re-boot, you will see the RAID software prompting you to press CTRL+S keys to
enter the SiS RAID BIOS Setting Utility. Press CTRL+S.
2. In the SiS RAID BIOS Setting Utility, press <R> to enter the RAID Setup utility.
3. In the RAID Setup window, press <A> to create RAID volume. Then, use number keys
1~3 to select a RAID type. Press 2 to select RAID 0 and then press <Enter>.
4. Use <1> or <2> key to select Auto Create or Manual Create.
5. When the next message appears, if you wish to proceed to map and stripe all current
data and future data to the RAID disks, press <Y>. Or press <N> to perform striping on
future data only. Then press <Enter>.
6. After the completion, you will see the RAID 0 array under the Current Created Raid
list in the RAID Setup window.
14
5.3.
Creating RAID 1
1. Upon re-boot, you will see the RAID software prompting you to press CTRL+S keys to
enter the SiS RAID BIOS Setting Utility. Press CTRL+S.
2. In the SiS RAID BIOS Setting Utility, press <R> to enter the RAID Setup utility.
3. In the RAID Setup window, press <A> to create RAID volume. Then, use number keys
1~3 to select a RAID type. Press 3 to select RAID 1 and then press <Enter>
4. Use <1> or <2> key to select Auto Create or Manual Create.
Manual Create allows you to assign the source disk.
5. When the prompt "Duplicate the SOURCE data to RAID disks?" appears, press Y or N
as needed.
6. After the completion, you will see the RAID 1 array under the Current Created Raid
list in the RAID Setup window.
5.4.
Making the SATA RAID Driver Disk
For the RAID disks to be recognized correctly during Windows Setup process, you need
to install the SiS 964 SATA RAID driver at the beginning of Windows Setup. The proce-
dure below introduces how to make a floppy disk containing the RAID driver.
1. Insert the Axper motherboard driver CD to the CD-ROM drive in your system. Go to
My Computer and right-click the CD-ROM icon to select Open.
2. In the BootDrv folder, double-click the Menu.exe file. Then a MS-DOS prompt screen
will appear, presenting a list of SATA/RAID/SCSI controllers.
3. Select the RAID controller for your motherboard. (Example: select SiS 964 SATA for
the XP-M5S661GX motherboard.) Then the driver file will be automatically copied and
transferred to the floppy disk. Wait until it's done, then you can begin to install
Windows operating system to the RAID disks.
5.5.
Loading the SiS 964 Serial ATA Driver
1. Boot from the Windows Installation CD. Press <F6> as soon as you see the Press F6
if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver message. Follow the on-
screen instructions and supply the RAID driver with the floppy disk. Then proceed to
complete the Windows installation and drivers installation.
(Note: Each time you add a new hard drive to a RAID array, the RAID driver will have to
be installed under Windows once for that hard drive. After that, the driver will not have
to be installed.)
For more details about SATA RAID configurations, please refer to the manual file in the motherboard
driver CD.
