A770 A2+/A740X A2+ CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2.1 INST ALLING CENT RAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) Step 1: Remove the socket protection cap. Step 2: Pull the lever toward direction A from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. 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.
Motherboard Manual Step 4: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever toward direct B to complete the installation. Step 5: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU FAN power cable to the CPUFAN. This completes the installation. Note: Please update the BIOS to the l atest version while using AM2+ CPUs. Due to the latest CPU transition, you may encounter the situation that the new s ys tem fail ed to boot while using new AM2+ CPUs.

A770 A2+/A740X A2+ CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS 4.1 O PERAT ION SYST EM Supports Windows XP Home/Prof essional Edition, and Windows Vista 4.2 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 1+0: RAID 1+0 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1. 4.
Motherboard Manual 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.
A770 A2+/A740X A2+ RAID 1+0: RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 1+0 solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance. Features and Benefits Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform. Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and perf ormance, allowing for automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID lev els in an array, and allows for spare disks.
