CHAPTER 4: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTIONS

4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM

z Supports Windows XP Home/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Prof essional.

4.2 RAID ARRAYS

NVRAID supports the f ollowing 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 d ata.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 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 h igh bandwidth .

Fea tures and Be nefits

 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

env ironment that does not require f ault toleranc e.

 Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, especially f or large files. No

capacity loss penalty f or parity.

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

f ails, all data is lost.

 Faul t Tolerance : No.

20

Blo c k 1

Block 3
Block 5

Block 2
Block 4

Block 6

NF4 A M2G / NF4 AM2L / NF4U AM2G

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out in parall el 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 d rive i s corrupted o r becomes un available 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 media.

Fea tures and Be nefits

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

requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.

 Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e f ail, the

controller switches to the other drive.

 Drawbacks: Requires 2 driv es for the storage space of one driv e.

Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.

 Fault 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 maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.

- Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and perf ormance, allowing for

automatic redundancy. May be sim ultaneously used with other RAID
lev els in an array, and allows f or spare disks.

- Drawbacks: Requires twice the av ailable disk space f or data redundancy,

the same as RAID level 1.

- Faul t Tolerance: Yes.

RAID 5:

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes
data and par it y blo cks acros s all th e d riv es in th e arr ay . F aul t to l erance is mai nt ain ed

by ensuring that the parity information for any giv en block of data is placed on a
different drive from those used to store the data itself.

Features and Benefits

- Dr i ves: Minimu m 3.

- Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and

gene ral pu rpose servic e.

- Benefits: An id eal combination of good performance, good fault
tol er ance, and high capacity and storag e effi ci ency.

- Dr awb acks: Individu al block data tran sfer rate same as a single disk.

CHAPTER 6: WARPSPEED ER™

6.1 INTRODUCTION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly 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 with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core

voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset

information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,

memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
shown on our main panel.

Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,

[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the

original system speed or a suitable one.

6.2 SYSTEM REQU IREMENT

OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system

includes DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install
DirectX 8.1.)

[WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according

to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

d. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™]

will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok,
then the current frequency will be saved into system registry. If

the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpeeder™] utili ty will restore to the hardware default

setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

Note:

Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please make sure y our display

card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is

BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Award™ BIOS
Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify
the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The
power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the
operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password
protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in
BIOS Setup.

Plug and Play Support

This AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A specification and
ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write.

EPA Green PC Support

This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC specification.

APM Support

This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power
Management (APM) specification. Power management features are
implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend
power management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk drives and
video monitors can also be managed by this AWARD BIOS.

ACPI Support

Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0 of Advanced Configuration and Power
interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management
and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification,
developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.

31

NF4 AM2G / NF4 AM2L / NF4U AM2G

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when
the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen,
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“Disabled” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for
the resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “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 assign 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 assign each system interrupt a type, depending
on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag,
you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system
interrupts. This is only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to
“Manual”.
