2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Remove the socket protection cap.
Step 2: Pull the lever toward direction A from the socket and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 3: Look for the white triangle on socket, and the gold triangle on
CPU should point forwards this white triangle. The CPU will fit
only in the correct orientation.

CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
Supports Windows XP, W indows 2000 Professional, and Windows Vista.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
NVRAID supports t he f ollowing ty pes of RAID array s:
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defin es techniques for mirrori ng data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
4.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “ strip es” d ata across multiple dri ves 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 h igh bandwidth.
Fea tures and Be nefits
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
env ironment that does not require f ault toleranc e.
Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, espec ially f or large files. No
capacity loss penalty f or parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any f ault tolerance. If any drive in t he array
f ails, all data is lost.
Fault Tolerance: No.

Block 2
Bl oc k 4
Bl oc k 6
21
Page 24
Motherboard Manual
RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk d riv es in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) copy o f th e data can reside on the s ame di sk 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 co rrupted or b ecomes unavailable b ecause 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 maximum is 2.
Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other applicat ion that
requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e f ail, the
controller switc hes to the ot her drive.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 driv es for the storage space of one driv e.
Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.

NF520-A2 TE/NF520-A2 SE/NF520-A 2
RAID 0+1: (Only for NF520-A2 TE/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 toleranc e and perf orm ance, allowing for
automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously us ed with other RAID lev els
in an array, and allows for spare disks.
Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space f or data redundancy,
the same as RAID level 1.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.
