Motherboard Manual 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: 1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface. 2. CPU fan is rotated normally. 3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
A960D+ 4.5 RAID FUNCTION Operating System Supports Windows Vista , Windows 7 and Windows 8. 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 10: RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID Definitions RAID 0: The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system.
Motherboard Manual RAID 1: Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1 array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.
A960D+ RAID 10: RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 10 solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance. 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.
