1.1 B

EFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

 Prepare a dry and stable working environment with

sufficient lighting.

 Always disconnect the computer from power outlet

before operation.

 Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static

bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.

 Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the

rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

 Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the

case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.

 Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat

source, humid air and water.

 The operating temperatures of the computer should be

0 to 45 degrees Celsius.

CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS

A960A3+

4.1 O

Supports Windows XP Home/Professional Edition, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

PERATING SYSTEM

4.2 RAID ARRAYS

RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for

many applications.

RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data. RAID 10: RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

4.3 HOW RAID WORKS

RAID 0:

The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter, which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the

platform.

 Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any

environment that does not require fault tolerance.

 Benefits: provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No

capacity loss penalty for parity.

 Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array

fails, all data is lost.

 Fault Tolerance: No.

Block 1 Block 3 Block 5

Block 2 Block 4 Block 6

Page 20

Motherboard Manual

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1 array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.

RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable media.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.  Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that

requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.

 Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the

controller switches to the other drive.

 Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.

Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Block 1 Block 2 Block 3

Page 21

A960A3+

RAID 10:

RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 10 solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.  Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for

automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels in an array, and allows for spare disks.

 Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy,

the same as RAID level 1.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.

System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drives are running.

System does not boot from a hard disk drive, but can be booted from optical drive.

System only boots from an optical drive. Hard disks can be read, applications can be used, but system fails to boot from a hard disk.

Screen message shows “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

System cannot boot after user installs a second hard drive.

1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.

2. Replace cable.

3. Contact technical support.

Using even pressure on both ends of the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.

1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.

1. Back up data and applications files.

2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.

Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.

1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.
