FIRST EDITION (November 2004)  
 
 Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation  
Serial ATA data rates (1.5Gb/s).  
  Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data  
transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 drives.  
  Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing  
identical data on 2 drives.  
  RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to  
provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data  
availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring.  
 Fully compliant with Serial ATA 1.0 specifications.  
 Supports Spread Spectrum in receiver.  
 Independent 256-byte FIFOs (32 bit * 64 deep) per Serial ATA channel for host  
reads and writes.

2. What Is RAID  
RAID - Redundant Array of Independent Disks  
RAID technology manages multiple disk drives to enhance I/O performance and provide  
redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member, without loss of  
data. This card provides two RAID Set types, Striped (RAID 0) and Mirrored (RAID 1).  
Disk Striping (RAID 0)  
Striping is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping technique. While Striping  
is discussed as a RAID Set type, it is actually does not provide fault tolerance. With  
modern SATA bus mastering technology, multiple I/O operations can be done in parallel,  
enhancing performance. Striping arrays use multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk.  
Disk Mirroring (RAID 1)  
Disk mirroring creates an identical twin for a selected disk by having the data simultaneously  
written to two disks. This redundancy provides instantaneous protection from a single disk  
failure. If a read failure occurs on one drive, the system reads the data from the other  
drive.  
Mirrored-Striping (RAID 0+1 also known as RAID 10)  
A Mirrored-Striping Set does just what it says, combining both Striping and Mirroring  
technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping  
and the data availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring. When data is written to a  
Mirrored-Striped Set, instead of creating just one virtual disk as Striping would do, a  
second, Mirrored virtual disk is created as well.  
3. BIOS Installation ( RAID Setting )  
Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in the BIOS. During boot up, the RAID  
setting message will appear and pause for a few moments to allow the user to choose what  
to do. This board will act as normal NON-RAID card when BIOS not configured for RAID.  
Just proceed to Software Installation section directly. If you use traditional parallel ATA  
HDD, make sure your hard drives be set up as master mode before the RAID setting.  
3.1. Creating Striped Sets (RAID 0)  
1. As the BIOS boots, Press CTRL+S or F4 to enter the raid bios utility.  
2. Select Create RAID set. Press Enter.  
3. Select Stripe then press Enter.  
- 4 -  
 
4. Select Auto configuration. Press Enter.  
5. Press Y to save your settings.  
6. Press CTRL+E and then press Y to exit the setup.  
7. Continue with conventional Fdisk and Format steps as if you are installing a conventional  
hard drive.  
8. Your RAID configuration is complete. Please proceed to software installation section.  
3.2. Creating Mirrored Sets (RAID 1)  
1. As the BIOS boots, Press CTRL+S or F4 to enter the raid bios utility.  
2. Select Create RAID set. Press Enter.  
3. Select Mirrored then press Enter.  
4. Select Auto configuration. Press Enter.  
5. Press Y to save your settings.  
6. Press CTRL+E and then press Y to exit the setup.  
7. Continue with conventional Fdisk and Format steps as if you are installing a conventional  
hard drive.  
8.Your RAID configuration is complete. Please proceed to software installation section.  
3.3. Creating a Mirrored-Striped Set  
1. As the BIOS boots, press CTRL+S or F4 to enter the raid bios utility.  
2. Select Create RAID set. Press F2.  
3. Select Mirrored-Striped set then press F3.  
4. Select Auto config. Press A.  
5. Press Y and then press ESC to exit the setup.  
6. Continue with conventional Fdisk and Format steps as if you are installing a conventional  
hard drive.  
7.Your RAID configuration is complete. Please proceed to software installation section.  
3.4. Deleting RAID Sets  
1. As the BIOS boots, Press CTRL+S or F4 to enter the raid bios utility.  
2. Select Delete RAID set. Press Enter.  
3. Answer Y to remove the RAID set. If the RAID set being deleted is a Striped set, then all of  
the data will be lost. If the set being deleted is a Mirrored set, then the data will remain  
intact and accessible on both drives.  
3.5. Rebuilding Mirrored Sets  
- 5 -  
 
1. After replacing the failed hard drives boot the BIOS, Press CTRL+S or F4 to enter the  
raid bios utility.  
2. Select rebuilding Mirrored set. Press Enter.  
3. Select Online rebuild or Offline rebuild.  
4. Answer Y to rebuild the Mirrored set of hard drive.  
3.5. Resolving Conflict  
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive connection  
information (Primary and Secondary). If, after a disk failure, the replacement disk was  
previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have conflicting  
metadata, specifically in reference to the drive connection information. If so, 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 first overwritten with the new metadata.  
To resolve this, select Resolve Conflicts, and the correct metadata, including the correct  
drive connection information, will be written to the replacement disk.
