2.1 Setting up RAID
The RAID card supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 1E set.
2.1.1 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)
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 1-E
secondary (or alternate) copy stored on a different disk. You can use three or more
hard disk drives for this conguration.
(Enhanced RAID 1)
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.
2.1.2 Installing hard disk drives
The RAID card supports SCSI for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,
install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install the SCSI hard disks for RAID conguration:
optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write
copies and maintains an identical image of data from one
has a striped layout with each stripe unit having a
1. Install the SCSI hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the
system user guide.
2. Connect a SCSI signal cable to the signal connector at the SCSI backplane.
3. Connect a power cable to the power connector on each drive.

2.1.3 Flashing RAID card rmware
The PXL-S30R SCSI RAID card supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 1E solution.
If you need to switch the solution, you need to ash the rmware using the support
CD that comes with the RAID card.
To ash the RAID card rmware in DOS environment:
1. Place the motherboard 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. Press any key when prompted to boot from CD.

2.2 LSI Logic MPT SCSI Setup Utility
The LSI Logic MPT SCSI Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that allows
you to create the following RAID set(s) from SCSI hard disk drives supported by
the LSI1030 SCSI controller:
• RAID 1 (Integrated Mirroring)/ RAID 1E (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced)
• RAID 0 (Integrated Striping)
2.2.1 Integrated Mirroring (IM) volume/
Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) volume
Overview
The Integrated Mirroring (IM) feature supports simultaneous mirrored volumes with
two disks (IM). Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) supports three to eight disks,
or seven mirrored disks plus a hot spare disk.
The IM feature supports hot swap capability, so when a disk in an IM volume fails,
you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically remirrored.
Creating Integrated Mirroring volumes
The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and
may not exactly match the items on your screen.
To create an IM volume:
1. Turn on the system after installing all SCSI hard disk drives.
2. During POST, press <Ctrl+C> to enter the SCSI conguration utility.

Adding or deleting hot spares
You may congure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on the IM
volume(s). You may create the hot spare disk at the same time you create the IM
volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot spare disk on an existing volume.
If a disk on an IM volume fails, the utility automatically rebuilds the failed disk
data on the hot spare. When the failed disk is replaced, the utility assigns the
replacement as the new hot spare.
To create a hot spare:
1. Follow steps 1~2 of the section

2.2.4 Selecting a boot disk
You can select a boot disk in the rst screen you enter SCSI Setup Utility. This
disk is then moved to scan ID 0 on the next boot, and remains at this position.
This makes it easier to set BIOS boot device options and to keep the boot device
constant during device additions and removals. There can be only one boot disk.
Follow these steps to select a boot disk:
1. After enter the SCSI Setup Utility, press <F2> to select <Boot Adapter List>.
