® CyberResearch CPU Cards CPEx GX-333-X 1.1.1 1. Introduction The ALi M5283 is a highly integrated disk drive controller that is capable of managing ParallelATA and Serial-ATA interface hard disk drives. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1.0 disk drives.
® CyberResearch CPU Cards CPEx GX-333-X For example, you may specify the drive locations by attaching stickers to the drive bays. You need a reminder if the cabling does not match the physical locations of hard drives. 2. It is also crucial that you do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route your cables within the chassis to avoid system down time. 1.1.3 2. Features and Benefits Supports RAID levels 0, 1, and JBOD. Supports the connectivity to two disk drives.
® CyberResearch CPU Cards CPEx GX-333-X 3. SATA-ALi RAID Driver CAUTION! Because of the inherent limitations by system chipset, the ALi M5283 SATA and RAID controller is implemented as a device that requires you to provide device driver during the Windows installation process. To successfully install the device driver, please carefully read the following instructions. The ALi driver is especially required if SATA drives are the only hard disk drives in your system.

® CyberResearch CPU Cards CPEx GX-333-X WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If you use “used” drives to create a RAID array, make you have moved or backed up your data before creating a RAID array out of these disk drives. Step 5. Next you will be prompted to provide a nickname for the created array.
® CyberResearch CPU Cards CPEx GX-333-X Step 2. You should then be prompted by “Data on RAID drives will be erased (Y/N)?” Step 3. Press Y and then all existing RAID configurations will be invalidated. WARNING! If you delete a RAID configuration, all data previously stored on the member drives of the RAID configuration will be destroyed. 2.7 Rebuild RAID Array This function allows you to rebuild a RAID array if a member of a RAID configuration should fail.
