CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
H77MU3
4.1 O
Supports 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.
RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
4.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large f ile into sma ller blo cks and pe rforms dis k reads and w rites acro ss mult ip le
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 2, 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.

Blo ck 5
Block 2
Blo ck 4
Blo ck 6

Page 22
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: Ye s .

H77MU3
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: Ye s .

Page 24
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.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Mi nimu m 3.
Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general
purpose service.
Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good fault tolerance,
and high capacity and storage efficiency.
Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write
performance can be CPU intensive.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.

5.3 EXTRA INFORMATION
CPU Overheated
If the system shuts down automatically after system is powered on for
seconds, the phenomenon means the CPU protection function has
been activated.
When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown
automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not
power on again.
In this case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection
function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wait for seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
1. Clear the CMOS data.
(See “Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1” section)

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
