Xeon® W-3200 Series processors.

• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

• Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA3647 socket only.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and

the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap

is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard

components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/

transit-related.

• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise

Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the

LGA3647 socket.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from

incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP

cap.

4.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update using the

provided utility described in section Managing and updating your BIOS.

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your

system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system

using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of

your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or

change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using

the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them

in the CMOS RAM of the firmware chip.

The firmware chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the

computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del>

during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues

with its test routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del>,

or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the

system off then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven

program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the

available options using the navigation keys.

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure

optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS

settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Press

<F5> and select Yes to load the BIOS default settings.

• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and

RAID Conguration

This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and

conguring RAID sets using the available utilities.

Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

5-2 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

5.1 RAID configurations

The motherboard supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility

with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support.

If you want to install a Windows® operating system to a hard disk drive included in a RAID

set, you have to create a RAID driver disk and load the RAID driver during OS installation.

Refer to section 5.2.1 Creating a RAID set for details.

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

conguration 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 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among

the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and

higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration 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.

RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having

to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 conguration you get all the benets of both

RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive

and three new drives for this setup.

ASUS Pro E800 G4 5-3

5.1.2 Installing Serial ATA hard disks

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install

identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID conguration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.

2. Connect the SATA signal cables.
