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 3: UEFI BIOS & Software
3.1 UEFI BIOS Setup
- The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the
key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. - For further information of setting up the UEFI BIOS, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Manual on our website.
3.2 BIOS Update
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities:
- BIOSTAR BIO-Flasher: Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM.
- BIOSTAR BIOS Update Utility: It enables automated updating while in the Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
3.3 Motherboard BIOS Update
- Upload the newly update of BIOS into USB drive, change the file name to : CREATIVE. ROM (type each letter as exactly). For example: XXXXXXXX.BST to CREATIVE.ROM
- Connect the power into ATX 24PIN at motherboard, turn on AC power (only turn on Power supply unit, no need for power on)
- Insert USB Drive with the file name: CREATIVE.ROM into programmer(hardware)

- Press SMART BIOS Update button for 3\~5 seconds, LED will start flickering, when LED light is off, then the burning is completed.

BIOSTAR BIO-Flasher
Note
» This utility only allows storage device with FAT32/16 format and single partition.
» Shutting down or resetting the system while updating the BIOS will lead to system boot failure.
Updating BIOS with BIOSTAR BIO-Flasher
- Go to the website to download the latest BIOS file for the motherboard.
- Then, copy and save the BIOS file into a USB flash (pen) drive. (Only supported FAT/FAT32 format)
- Insert the USB pen drive that contains the BIOS file to the USB port.
-
Power on or reset the computer and then press
during the POST process. -
After entering the POST screen, the BIO-FLASHER utility pops out. Choose
to search for the BIOS file.

- Select the proper BIOS file, and a message asking if you are sure to flash the BIOS file. Click "Yes" to start updating BIOS.

- A dialog pops out after BIOS flash is completed, asking you to restart the system. Press the
key to restart system.

4.4 Troubleshooting
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:
- The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
- CPU fan is rotated normally.
- CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.
- Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
- Wait for seconds.
- Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
- Clear the CMOS data. (See "Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1" section)
- Wait for seconds.
- Power on the system again.
4.5 RAID Functions
RAID Definitions

flowchart
graph TD
A["RAID 0 striping"] --> B["Block 1"]
A --> C["Block 2"]
A --> D["Block 3"]
A --> E["Block 4"]
A --> F["Block 5"]
A --> G["Disk 1"]
A --> H["Disk 2"]
In a RAID 0 system data are split up in blocks that get written across all the drives in the array. By using multiple disks (at least 2) at the same time, this offers superior I/O performance. This performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers, ideally one controller per disk.
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)

flowchart
graph TD
A["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3\nDisk 1"] --> B["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3"]
C["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3\nDisk 2"] --> D["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3"]
E["RAID 1 mirroring"] --> F["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3"]
Data are stored twice by writing them to both the data disk (or set of data disks) and a mirror disk (or set of disks). If a disk fails, the controller uses either the data drive or the mirror drive for data recovery and continues operation. You need at least 2 disks for a RAID 1 array.
Features and Benefits
- 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.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.
RAID 10 (1+0)

flowchart
graph TD
A["Block 1\nBlock 3\nBlock 5\nDisk 1"] --> B["Block 1\nBlock 3\nBlock 5"]
C["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6\nDisk 3"] --> D["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6"]
E["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6"] --> F["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6"]
RAID 10 combines the advantages (and disadvantages) of RAID 0 and RAID 1 in one single system. It provides security by mirroring all data on a secondary set of disks (disk 3 and 4 in the drawing below) while using striping across each set of disks to speed up data transfers.
Features and Benefits
- 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.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.
RAID 5

A RAID 5 array can withstand a single disk failure without losing data or access to data. Although RAID 5 can be achieved in software, a hardware controller is recommended. Often extra cache memory is used on these controllers to improve the write performance.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 3.
- Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general purpose service.
- Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good fault tolerance, and high capacity and storage efficiency.
- Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write performance can be CPU intensive.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.
