[. . . ] Settings are: [S1] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context. [S3] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation of system configuration and open applications/files is saved to main memory that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory will be used to restore the system when a "wake up" event occurs. 3-14 BIOS Setup Re-Call VGA BIOS From S3 W hen ACPI Standby State is set to [S3], users can select the options in this field. Selecting [Yes] allows BIOS to call VGABIOS to initialize the VGA card when system wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep state. The system resume time is shortened when you disable the function, but system will need an VGA driver to initialize the VGA card. Therefore, if the VGA driver of the card does not support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally or not function after resuming from S3. Suspend Time Out (M inute) If system activity is not detected for the length of time specified in this field, all devices except CPU will be shut off. Power Button Function This feature sets the function of the power button. Settings are: [On/ Off] The power button functions as normal power off button. [Suspend] W hen you press the power button, the computer enters the suspend/sleep mode, but if the button is pressed for more than four seconds, the computer is turned off. After receiving the signal, when the operating system is ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device. 3-18 BIOS Setup H/W Monitor Chassis Intrusion The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. To clear the warning message, set the field to [Reset]. The setting of the field will automatically return to [Enabled] later. CPU Smart FAN Target The mainboard provides the Smart Fan function which can control the CPU fan speed automatically depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range. If the current CPU fan temperature reaches to the target value, the smart fan function will be activated. It provides several sections to speed up for cooling down automaticlly . SYS FAN1 Control This item allows users to select how percentage of speed for the SYS FAN1. PC Health Status CPU/ System Temperature, CPU FAN/ SYS FAN1 Speed, CPU Vcore, 3. 3V, 5V, 12V, 5V SB These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware devices/ components such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans' speeds. 3-19 M S-7358 M ainboard Frequency/Voltage Control Important Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset. Current CPU / DRAM Frequency These items show the current clocks of CPU and Memory speed. These items allow users to select the speed up range of each step. [. . . ] The most typical strip size settings are: 4KB: For specialized usage models requiring 4KB strips 8KB: For specialized usage models requiring 8KB strips 16KB: Best for sequential transfers 32KB: Good for sequential transfers 64KB: Good general purpose strip size 128KB: Best performance for most desktops and workstations (2) Select the source disk Then select the source disk that you wish to use and then click "--->" to move it to the Selected field. It is very important to note which disk is the source disk (the one containing all of the information to be migrated) and which one is the target disk. On a RAID Ready system, this can be determined by making a note during POST of which port the single disk is attached to. You can also use the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition utility before the second disk is installed to verify the Port and serial number of the drive that contains all the data. C-18 Intel ICH9R/ICH9DO SATA RAID (3) Select Member Hard Drive(s) Then select the member disk (the target disk) that you wish to use and then click "-->" to move it to the Selected field. [. . . ]
