CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYST EM
z Supports Windows XP Home/Prof essional Edition, and W indows 2000 Prof essional.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
NVRAID supports the f ollowing ty pes of RAID arrays:
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirro ring data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
many applications.
4.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “ strip es” data across mu ltiple 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 o ffers hi gh 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 fault tolerance.
Benefits: prov ides increas ed 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 .
Fault To le rance: No.

Motherboard Manual
RAID 1:
Every read and write is actu ally carried out in p arallel acros s 2 disk drives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) co py of the d ata can reside on the same disk o r 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 b ecomes u navailable 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
me d i a .
Fea tures and Be nefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that
requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e fail, 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.

NF520-A2 SE/NF520-A2
RAID 0+1(Only fo r NF520-A2 SE):
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 performance, allowing f or
automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID lev els
in an array, and allows for spare disks.
Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy,
the same as RAID level 1.

CHAPTER 6: WARPSPEEDE R™ I II
6.1 INTRODUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™ III], 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, VGA 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™ III] technology assures the sy stem stability by
automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is
either the original system speed or a suitable one.

Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™ III]
divide these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on
board, the correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will
not interfere other panels’ functions. This property can make
[WarpSpeeder™ III] utility more robust.
