S-ATA RAID Configuration Section 5 S-ATA RAID CONFIGURATION Introduction This section gives a brief introduction on the RAID-related background knowledge and a brief introduction on S-ATA RAID Host Controller. RAID Basics RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance.
S-ATA RAID Configuration RAID 0 (Striping) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array. The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member. The striping block size can be set from 4KB to 64KB. RAID 0 does not support fault tolerance. RAID 1 (Mirroring) RAID 1 writes duplicate data onto a pair of drives and reads both sets of data in parallel.
S-ATA RAID Configuration This mainboard is equipped with the following SATA RAID controllers: 1. Nvidia SATA from nForce2 Gigabit MCP chip (SATA1/ SATA2) 2. (Optional) Silicon Image SiI3114 controller (SATA3/ SATA4/SATA5/SATA6) Each of these controllers have their own unique RAID setup BIOS and software. Note: Before you proceed, identify which SATA controller your HDD drives are connected to in order to ensure a successful installation.
S-ATA RAID Configuration Optional - Silicon Image Sil3114 S-ATA RAID Features • RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 • Hot Spare and On-line Mirror Rebuilding • System GUI Monitoring Utility: - Displays/Logs/Alerts Users to Vital RAID Set Information - Manages RAID Set Functions (configures, rebuilds, etc.
S-ATA RAID Configuration Enable RAID Function For any RAID controller, the general procedure to enable RAID function are shown below: Note: If you are not installing O/S into the RAID disks, you may skip Step 2 & Step3. Step 1: Create RAID Array RAID arrays are created using the RAID controller’s BIOS utility. NVIDIA nForce2 MCP Power-on the system and wait for the following screen to appear. Press the ”F10” key to enter its BIOS configuration utility.

Step 2: Prepare driver floppy When installing Windows XP/2000/NT4.
S-ATA RAID Configuration 4. Insert a blank floppy into the A:drive 5. Click on the required driver to begin copy into the floppy Step 3: Install O/S into RAID disk Continue to install Windows XP/2000/NT4.0 as normal. When requested by Windows Setup for RAID driver, insert the floppy created earlier in Step 2. Step 4: Install Software utility for Windows After the O/S has been installed, you may install the RAID driver and software.
