[. . . ] Resume From S3 By PS/2 Keyboard This setting determines whether the system will be awakened from what power saving modes when input signal of the PS/2 keyboard is detected. 3-15 M S-7356 M ainboard Resume From S3 By PS/2 M ouse This setting determines whether the system will be awakened from what power saving modes when input signal of the PS/2 mouse is detected. Resume by PCI Device (PME#) W hen set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on PME (Power Management Event). Resume by PCI-E Device W hen set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the power saving modes through any event on PCIE device. Resume by RTC Alarm The field is used to enable or disable the feature of booting up the system on a scheduled time/date. 3-16 BIOS Setup PNP/PCI Configurations This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. Primary Graphic's Adapter This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter. PCI Latency Timer This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. W hen set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. PCI Slot 1/ 2 IRQ These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot. 3-17 M S-7356 M ainboard IRQ Resource Setup Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15 These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an [Reserved] setting to it. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices. Important IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. 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. 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 . CPU Min. FAN speed(%) This item allows users to select how percentage of minimum speed limit for the CPU fan. SYS FAN1/2 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/ SYS FAN2 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-7356 M ainboard Cell Menu 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. [. . . ] 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 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. [. . . ]
