CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Before You Start

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting.

Always disconnect the computer from power outlet before operation.

Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.

Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.

Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air and water.

The operating temperatures of the computer should be 0 to

45 degrees Celsius.

To avoid injury, be careful of:

Sharp pins on headers and connectors

Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis

Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Install Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 1:

Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard

Step 2:

Pull the socket locking out from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angel.

Step 3:

Look for the white triangle on socket, and the gold triangle on CPU should point towards this white triangle. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Note:

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU.

5


Step 4:

Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to locked the position

Step 1:

Place the heatsink and fan assembly onto the retention frame. Match the heatsink clip with the socket mounting-lug. Hook the spring clip to the mounting-lug.

Step 2:

On the other side, push the retention clip straight down to lock into the plastic lug on the retention frame, and then press down the locker until it stops.

6

Note1:

Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector.

Note2:

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the installation manual of your CPU heatsink.

A55MD2 / A55MG2 / A55ML2

4.3 Troubleshooting

Probable Solution

1. There is no power in the system.

Power LED does not shine; the fan of the power supply does not work

1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.

2. Indicator light on keyboard does not shine.

3. Contact technical support.

System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drives are running.

Using even pressure on both ends of the

DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.

System does not boot from a hard disk drive, but can be booted from optical drive.

1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard

CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.

System only boots from an optical drive. Hard disks can be read, applications can be used, but system fails to boot from a hard disk.

1. Back up data and applications files.

2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.

Screen message shows “Invalid

Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

System cannot boot after user installs a second hard drive.

Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.

1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.

24

A55MD2 / A55MG2 / A55ML2

CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again.

In this case, please double check:

1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.

2. CPU fan is rotated normally.

3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.

1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.

2. Wait for seconds.

3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

Or you can:

1. Clear the CMOS data.

(See “Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1” section)

2. Wait for seconds.

3. Power on the system again.

Operating System

Supports Windows Vista , Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Raid Arrays

RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0:

RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for many applications.

RAID 1:

RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.

RAID 10:

RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

RAID Definitions

RAID 0:

The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter, which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

Drives:

Minimum 2, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the platform.

Uses:

Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any environment that does not require fault tolerance.

Benefits:

provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No capacity loss penalty for parity.

Drawbacks:

Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array fails, all data is lost.

Fault Tolerance:

No.

Total Capacity:

(Minimal. HDD Capacity) x (Connected HDDs Amount)

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a

RAID 1 array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.

RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable media.


Drives:

Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.

Uses:

RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.

Benefits:

Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the controller switches to the other drive.

Drawbacks:

Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.

Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.


Yes.

RAID 10:

RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques.Resulting in a RAID 10 solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance.


Drives:

Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.

Benefits:

Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels in an array, and allows for spare disks.

Drawbacks:

Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy, the same as RAID level 1.


Yes.
