RAID 0 & RAID 1 Con gurations :

The Sil 3112A chipset supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal

per ormance, nsta ent ca r ves o t e same mo e an capac ty w en

creating RAID sets.

What is RAID 0 & RAID 1?

If you are creating a RAID 0(striping) array for performance, use two new

drives.

I you are creat ng a RAID1 m rror ng array or protect on, you can use

two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drives (the new drivesmust be of the same size or larger than the existing drive).

If you use two drives with different sizes, the smaller capacity hard disk

will be the base storage size. For example, hard disk A with an 80GB

storage capacity and hard disk B with 60GB storage capacity for your

RAID1 set w e 60 GB.

Follow these steps to install the hard disks for RAID conguration.

1. Install the Serial ATA hard disk into the drive bays.

2. Connect one Ser a ATA HDD to eac Ser a ATA connector, us ng separate

serial ATA cables.

3. Connect the power cable to the power connector on each drive.

4. Proceed to Creating and Deleting Raid sets for the next procedure.

reating & Deleting RAID Sets:

Creating and deleting RAID sets is a built-in function found in the BIOS.

The following sub-sections describe how to use the RAID Conguration Utility.

Loading the RAID Conguration Utility

1. During POST, press CTRL

[F4] to enter RAID Con gurat on

Utility. The following menu optionswill appear.

2. Select Create RAID Set

6. If you want to manually congure theRAID set. For Striped Sets, you can

change the chunk size. For Mirrored

Sets, you ass gn w c s t e Source

and Target drives, as well as if you want

a Disk Copy.

What is a chunk? The chunk size is the stripe on each disk. It is the

unit of storage equivalent to one strip on a RAID 0 set. Available chunk

sizes:

248163264128

When manually setting the chunk size for your RAID, it is recommended

to use the smaller chunk size for server applications and the larger chunk

size for AV applications.

W at s D s Copy? I t e s ass gne as t e source s as een

partitioned and has data stored on it, and a second disk is added, the dataon the source Drive can be copied to the destination drive so the disks

are identical, and all subsequent data will be written to both drives as a

M rrore set. I , owever, t e source s oes not ave ata store on t,

there is no need for Disk Copy.

Resolving Conict

When a RAID set is created the metadata written to the disk includes drive

connect on n ormat on Pr mary C anne , Secon ary C anne . I a ter a sfailure, the replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in

another system), it may have conicting metadata, specically in reference to

the drive connection information if so, and this will prohibit the RAID set from

being either created or rebuilt. In order for the RAID set to function properly,

this old metadata must be rst overwritten with the new metadata, including the

correct drive connection information, will be written to the replacement disk.
