CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 B
EFORE 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.

CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 O
PERATING SYSTEM
z Supports Windows XP , Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.
RAID 1+0: RAID 1+0 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
4.3 HOW RAID WORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple
drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment.
This technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 1, 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.
