Storage Serial ATA Controller The mainboard provides embedded dual Serial ATA channels using the Silicon Image 3112A PCI-to- Serial ATA Controller. The 3112A SATA controller is a PCI-to-SATA controller of individual drives or a RAID configuration. The controller supports the following: •...
This state assumes that no hardware changes were made to the system while it was off. • S5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the chipset is running in this state. CAUTION The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected. MAXDATA Workstation Fusion 7000...
Front Panel Buttons The power button on the front panel behaves differently depending on whether the operating system supports ACPI. If the operating system supports ACPI, the power button can be configured as a sleep button. The OS causes the system to transition to the appropriate system state depending on the user settings.
Floppy write protection is in effect only while the system is in secure mode. When not in secure mode, write protection is disabled and the floppy diskette drive operates normally. MAXDATA Workstation Fusion 7000...
You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present. If You Cannot Access Setup If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. MAXDATA Workstation Fusion 7000...
Starting Setup You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions: • When you turn on the Workstation, after POST completes the memory test • When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the Workstation board to the “Clear CMOS” position (enabled) In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt: Press <F2>...

Hardware Monitoring The mainboard has an integrated Winbond Heceta 836327HF chip that is responsible for hardware monitoring. Together, the Winbond Heceta chip and the Intel LanDesk Client Manager (LDCM) 6 ® ™ software provide basic Workstation hardware monitoring that alerts a system administrator if a hard- ware problem occurs.
If a Striped set (RAID 0) is required, follow the instructions in “Creating a Striped Set (RAID 0)”. • If a Mirrored set (RAID 1) is required, follow the instructions in “Creating a Mirrored Set (RAID 1)”. MAXDATA Workstation Fusion 7000...
Creating a Striped Set (RAID 0) NOTE If the drives are not identical in size, the total size of the striped set will be twice the size of the smallest drive. Automatic Configuration The Auto Configuration option will choose a 16KB stripe size (also referred to as chunk size) and assign the first drive, the drive on the primary SATA channel, as “0”.
Deleting the RAID Set CAUTION If you are using a striped set, all data will be lost when you delete the RAID set. If you are using a mirrored set, two separate copies of the data will exist, one copy on each drive. To delete a RAID set, do the following: 1.

Replacing the Backup Battery The lithium battery on the Workstation board powers the RTC for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the Workstation settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.
