Copyright 2013 Axiomtek Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved June 2013, Version A1 Printed in Taiwan ii Safety Approvals CE Marking FCC Class A FCC Compliance This equipment has been tested in compliance with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are meant to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following methods: 1. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 2. . Connect the equipment to another outlet of a circuit that doesn’t connect with the receiver. 3. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emission limits. iii Safety Precautions Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions. 1. The OPS871 series does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer. 2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and pla ce all electronic components in any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge. 3. Disconnect the power cord from the OPS871 series before any installation. Be sure both the system and external devices are tu rned OFF. A sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components that the OPS871 series must be properly grounded. 4. Make sure it is the correct voltage of the power source before connecting the equipment to the power outlet. 5. The brightness of the flat panel display will be getting weaker as a result of frequent usage. However, the operating period varies depending on the application environment. 6. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration. When assembling the OPS871 series, make sure it is securely installed. 7. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage temperature is below 0℃ or above 45℃. It may damage the equipment. 8. External equipment intended for connection to signal input/out or other connectors shall comply with relevant UL/IEC standard. 9. Do not open the back cover of the system. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: iv Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body. When handling boards and components, wear a wrist -grounding strap, available from most electronic component s tores.

Intel ® Smart Response Technology is an Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology (RST) caching feature that improves computer system performance. It allows a user to configure computer systems with an SSD used as cache memory between the hard disk drive and system memory. This provides the advantage of having a hard disk drive (or a RAID volume) for maximum storage capacity while delivering an SSD -like overall system performance experience. Intel ® Smart Response Technology caching is implemented as a single drive letter solution; no additional drive letter is require for the SSD device used as cache. System Requirements: For a system to support Intel Smart Response Technology it must have the followi ng: 1. Intel ® QM77 Express Chipset-based desktop board 2. System BIOS with SATA mode set to RAID 3. Intel Rapid Storage Technology software 10.5 version release or later 4. Single Hard Disk Drive(HDD) or multiple HDD ’s in a single RAID volume. 5. Solid State Drive(SSD) with a minimum capacity of 18.6GB 6. Operating system: Microsoft ware Window’s* Vista 32-bit Edition and 64-bit Edition, Microsoft W indows* 7 32-bit Edition and 64-bit System Requirements: Configuration SATA Mode in BIOS Setup 1. Press the F2 during boot up to enter the BIOS setup menu 2. Go to Configuration > SATA Drives 3. Select the setting for Chipset SATA Mode and change the value to RAID. 4. Press the F10 key to save settings and restart the system. System Requirements: 5. You may now begin installation of the operating system on the HDD(or RAID volume) 6. Install all required device drivers 7. Install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software version 10.5 or later Enable Intel Smart Response Technology NOTE: The Intel RST software denotes Intel Smart Response Technology a s Accelerate Intel® Rapid Storage Technology 71 OPS871 User’s Manual 8. Run the Intel RST software thought the ALL Programs menu or the task bar icon. 9. Click “Enable acceleration” either under “Status” or “Accelerate” 10. Select the SSD to be used as a cache device. 11. Select the size from the SSD to be allocated for the cache memory. Note: Any remaining space on the SSD may be used for data storage using the simple data single-disk RAID 0 volumes that is automatically created. 12. Select the HDD (or RAID volume) to be accelerated. It is highly recommended to accelerate the system volume or system disk for maximum performance. 13. Select the acceleration mode, and then click “OK”. By default, Enhanced mode is selected. Note: 72 Enhanced mode (default) Acceleration optimized for data protection. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology OPS871 User’s Manual Maximized mode: Acceleration optimized for input/output performance. 14. The page refreshes and reports the new acceleration configuration in the Acceleration View. 15. Congratulations! Your system is now successfully configured with the Intel S mart Response Technology!
