3.1 Starting up for the first time
1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2. Be sure that all switches are off.
3. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.
4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.
5. Turn on the devices in the following order:
a. Monitor
b. External storage devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power
6. After applying power, the system power LED on the system front panel case lights up.
For systems with ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the
ATX power button. If your monitor complies with “green” standards or if it has a “power
standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green
after the system LED turns on.
The system then runs the power-on self-test or POST. While the tests are running, the
BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything
within 30 seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed
a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for
assistance.
The following shows the possible beep codes and its corresponding error condition:
BIOS Beep codes
Beep Error condition
1 short Power supply surges detected during the previous power on.
1 short No Keyboard Detected.
1 short, 2 short No DIMM Detected.
1 short, 8 short No VGA Detected.

RAID Conguration
Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
5-2 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
5.1 Setting up RAID
The motherboard comes with the Intel® C236 controller that supports Intel® Rapid Storage
Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5
support (for Windows® OS only).
5.1.1 RAID definitions
RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in
parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a
sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access
and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.
RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a
second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications
to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID
conguration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use
two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be
of the same size or larger than the existing drive.
RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having
to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 conguration you get all the benets of both
RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and
three new drives for this setup.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among
the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and
higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration is best suited for transaction processing,
relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems.
Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.
If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy
rst the RAID driver from the support DVD to a oppy disk before you install an operating
system to the selected hard disk drive.
ASUS P10S-E/4L 5-3
5.1.3 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS
You must set the RAID mode in the BIOS Setup to be able to launch the RAID utilities before
you can create a RAID set from the SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors
supported by Intel® C236 chipset.
To do this:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Go to the Advanced Menu > SATA Configuration, then press <Enter>.
3. Set
SATA Mode to [RAID].
4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.
Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.
5.1.4 RAID configuration utilities
Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities
embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
enterprise SATA Option ROM Utility if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the
Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel® C236 chipset.
5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,
install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conguration:
1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system
user guide.
2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to
the SATA connector on the motherboard.
3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
5-4 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not
exactly match the items on your screen.
5.2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA
Option ROM Utility
The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility allows you to
create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set from Serial ATA hard disk
drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge.
The navigation keys at the bottom of the screen allow you to move through the menus
and select the menu options.
To launch the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility:
1. Turn on the system.
2. During POST, press <Ctrl>+<I> to display the utility main menu.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives,
and have set the correct SATA mode in the BIOS setup. You can refer to sections
5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives and 5.1.3 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS for more
information.
