CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
z Supports Windows XP H om e/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Profess ional.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
RAI D supports the f ollowing types of R AID arrays :
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
RAID 1: RAID 1 defin es techniques for mirroring data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
many applications.
4.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “ stripes” data across multiple drives in a RA ID 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 an d offers high b andwidth.
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and m ax imum is up t o 6 or 8. Depending on the
platform.
Uses: I ntended f or non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any
environment that does not require f ault toleranc e.
Benefits: provides inc reas ed dat a throughput, especially for large f iles. No
capac ity loss penalty f or parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any f ault tolerance. If any driv e in the array
fails, all dat a is lost.
Fa ult To le rance: No.

Motherboard Manual
RAID 1:
Every read and write is act ually carri ed out in parallel acros s 2 disk d rives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) co py of th e 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 hardw are 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
me d i a .
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and m ax imum is 2.
Uses: R AID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that
requires f ault tolerance and minimal capaci t y.
Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive f ail, the
controller switches to the o ther drive.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the st orage spac e of one drive.
Performanc e is impaired during drive rebuilds.
Fa ult To le rance: Yes.

RAID 0+1:
RAID 0 drives can be mirrored using RAID 1 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 0+1
solution for improved performance plus resiliency.
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 4, and m ax imum is 6 or 8, depending on t he platf orm.
Benefits: Optimizes for both fault toleranc e and performance, allowing for
autom at ic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other R AID levels
in an array, and allows for spare disks.
Drawbacks: Requires twice the available dis k space for data redundancy,
the same as RAID level 1.
Fa ult To le rance: Yes.

Motherboard Manual
RAID 5:
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes
data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained by
ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a different
drive from those used to store the data itself.
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Mini mu m 3 .
Uses: R AID 5 is recommended for transaction proces s ing and general
purpose s ervice.
Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good f ault toleranc e,
and high capacity and s t orage ef f ic iency.
Drawbacks: Individual block dat a transfer rate sam e as a single disk. W rit e

CHAPTER 6: WARPSPEEDER™ I II
6.1 INTRODUCTION
[WarpSpeede r™ III], a new po we rful control utility, features th ree
user-friendl y functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance wi th just one click. The
Overvol tage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
vol tage an d Me mory v ol t a ge. Th e co o l Har dw are Mo ni tor smartly indicat es
the temperatures, vol tage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset
informati on. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
memory, VGA and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
s how n on our ma i n p an el .
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeede r™ III] techno logy assures the sy stem sta bility by
automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is
either the origi nal system speed or a suitable one.

Overclock Panel cont ains these fe atures:
a. “Auto-Overclock”:
Use r can c lick thi s but to n and [ WarpSp eeder™ III] will set the be st
and s t ab le per forma nce and freque ncy automatica l ly . A war n in g
dialog as below will show up to notify you that the system may
become unstable, click on “OK” to proceed.
The n [WarpSpe ed er™ III] uti lity will execute a series of testing
until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe reboot by using
Watchdog function. After reboot, launch the [WarpSpeeder™ III]
utility again and the utility will load the previousl y verified best and
stable frequency.
b. “Verify”:
If you use the “M anual Adjust” bar to adjust the CPU frequency,
then you can click thi s button and [WarpSpeeder™ III] will proceed
a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current
frequency will be sa ved into system registry. If the te sti ng fails,
system will do a fail-saf e rebooting. After re boot, the
[WarpSpeede r™ III] utility wi ll resto re to the hardware d e fault
setting.
32
Warning:
Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when t he
overclocking percentage is ov er 110 %. W e st rongly recommend you
verify every speed you overc lock by c lick the Verify butt on. Or, you can
just click Auto overclock button and let [WarpSpeeder™ III]
autom at ically gets the best result for you.

the the version nu mber of [Warp Speeder™ III] utility.
34
Note :
Because the overclock, overvol tage, and hardware monitor features
are con trolled by several separate chip set, [Wa rpSpeeder™ III]
divide these features to separate panels. If one chipset i s not on
board, the correlati ve button in Main panel will be disabled, bu t will
not interfere other panels’ functions. This property can make
[WarpSpeede r™ III] utility more robu st.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Inte rco nnect, is a s yst em whic h al lo ws I/O devices to op erate at
speeds ne aring the s peed of t he CPU itself uses wh en co mmun icating with its
own spec ial co mponents. This sectio n covers some very tec hnical items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.
Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations
Reset Configuration Data
The s ystem BIOS s uppo rts the PnP feat ure which requires the s ystem to record
whic h resourc es are ass igned a nd pro t ects reso urc es from co nf lict.
Every peripher al d evice has a node, whic h is called ESCD. This nod e rec ords
whic h reso urces are ass igned to it. T he sys tem needs to rec ord and update ESCD
to the memory loca tions. These loca tions are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when
the ne w co nfigura tion varies fro m the last one. If the Enabled optio n is chos en,
the sys tem is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatic ally set to the
“Disabled ” mode.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for
the resourc es cont rolled by funct io n.
Legac y is the term, whic h signifies that a resource is ass igned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the P CI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default ), Enabled.
Resources Controlled By
By Choos ing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to ass ign IRQ & DMA for
add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to ass ign eac h system interrupt a type, depending
on t he typ e o f devic e using the interrupt. W hen you press th e “Press Enter” tag,
you wi ll b e directed to a s ub menu that will allo w you to configur e the system
interrupts. This is only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to
“Manual”.
