2.1 RAID driver installation
After creating the RAID sets for your server system, you are now ready to install
an operating system to the independent hard disk drive or bootable array. This part
provides instructions on how to install or update the RAID card drivers.
2.1.1 Creating a RAID driver disk
You may have to use another system to create the RAID driver disk from the
support CD.
A oppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows® operating
system on a hard disk drive that is included in a RAID set. You can create a RAID
driver disk in DOS (using the Makedisk application in the support CD).
To create a RAID driver disk in DOS environment:
1. Place the support CD in the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer, then enter the BIOS Setup.
3. Select the optical drive as the rst boot priority to boot from the support CD.
Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.
4. Restart the computer.
5. The Make Disk menu appears. Select
press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.

Drivers menu if Autorun is enabled in your computer.
• You have to install the PIKE 9230 SATA RAID card on your motherboard
BEFORE you can launch the Autorun function of the support CD.
• If Autorun is NOT enabled in your computer, browse the contents of the
support CD to locate the le ASSETUP.EXE from the BIN folder. Double-click
the ASSETUP.EXE to run the CD.
2.2.2 Utilities menu
The Utilities menu shows the available device drivers if the system detects
installed devices. Install the necessary drivers to activate the devices.
The screen display and driver options may vary under different operating
system versions.
Before installing the Marvell Storage Utility, ensure that:
• Your PIKE 9230 RAID card has been properly installed.
• You have installed the RAID controller drivers.
• You have properly connected the SATA hard disk drives to your PIKE 9230
RAID card.

3.1 Setting up RAID
The RAID card supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 set(s).
3.1.1 RAID denitions
RAID 0
(Data striping)
data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a
single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone,
thus improving data access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives
is required for this setup.
RAID 1
(Data mirroring)
one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software
directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of
the data in the other drive. This RAID conguration provides data protection and
increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an
existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same
size or larger than the existing drive.
RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy
data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10* conguration you get
all the benets of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk
drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup.
If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID
set, copy rst the RAID driver from the support CD to a oppy disk before you
install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write
copies and maintains an identical image of data from
3.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The RAID card supports SATA hard disk drives for RAID set conguration. For
optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when
creating a disk array.
To install SATA hard disk drives for RAID conguration
1. Install the SATA drives into the drive bays following the instructions in the
system user guide.
2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the SATA backplane
or on the back of the SATA drive.
3. Connect a power cable to the power connector at the SATA backplane or on
the back of the SATA drive.

3.2 Marvell® Storage Utility (MSU)
The Marvell® Storage Utility is a browser-based RAID management utility for
Marvell RAID controllers that allows you to create and manage RAID 0, 1, and
10 set(s) from SATA hard disk drives that are connected to your PIKE 9230 SATA
RAID card.
• DO NOT combine Serial ATA and SAS disk drives in one volume.
• Install SATA hard disk drives with similar capacity for optimum performance.
• Before using the MSU, ensure that Active Scripting or JavaScript is enabled
in your browser.
• The RAID setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and
may not exactly match the items on your screen due to the controller
version difference.
3.2.1 Enabling Active Scripting or Javascript
