® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series 5.2 Installation Considerations NOTE: The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the MMGA is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the MMGA should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the MMGA and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 5.2.
® CyberResearch Motherboards o MMGA Series When working with the MMGA, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the MMGA DO NOT: Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty validation. Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are properly connected.
® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series 5.3 Unpacking 5.3.1 Unpacking Precautions When the MMGA is unpacked, please do the following: Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 5.1. Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the MMGA does not fall out of the box. Make sure all the components in the checklist shown in Chapter 3 are present. NOTE: If some of the components listed in the checklist in Chapter 3 are missing, please do not proceed with the installation.
® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series 5.4.1 Socket LGA775 CPU Installation NOTE: Enabling Hyper-Threading Technology on your system requires meeting all of the platform requirements listed below: CPU: An Intel® Processor with HT Technology must be installed Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology (that has been met by the MMGA) OS: An operating system that has optimizations for HT Technology WARNING: CPUs are expensive and sensitive components.
® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series To install a socket LGA775 CPU onto the MMGA, follow the steps below: WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. Step 1: Remove the protective cover. Remove the black protective cover by prying it off the load plate. To remove the protective cover, locate the “REMOVE” sign and use your fingernail to pry the protective cover off. See Figure 1-46.
® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series Figure 1-47: Open the CPU Socket Load Plate Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material.

® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series G.1 Introduction The Intel® ICH9DO chipset can provide data protection for serial ATA (SATA) disks via the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager using one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5 or 10. When using two hard drives, matrix RAID allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions to be combined, where critical files can be stored on RAID 1, and RAID 0 can be used for non-critical items such as software.
® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series CAUTION! Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time. G.2 Features and Benefits Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 Supports connectivity to two or more disk drives Supported Operating Systems include: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista G.3 Accessing the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager To access the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager, please follow the steps below.
® CyberResearch Motherboards MMGA Series Step 3: Save and Exit BIOS. After the SATA support option is enabled, save and exit the BIOS. Step 4: Reboot the system. Reboot the system after saving and exiting the BIOS. Step 5: Press Ctrl+I. During the system boot process, press Ctrl+I when prompted to enter the RAID configuration software. Step 6: Configure the RAID settings. Use the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager to configure the RAID array. Brief descriptions of configuration options are given below.
