CHAPTER 4: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTIONS

4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM

Supports Windows XP Home/Professional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.

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 data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Spanning (JBOD): JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different sizes in to

one large disk.

RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.

4.3 HOW RAID WORKS

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 and o ffers high 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.

 Fault To le rance : No.

Block 3
Block 5

Block 2
Block 4

Block 6

N F 550 AM 2 / N F57 0U AM 2

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 drive i s corrupted o r becomes un available because o f 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.

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 drive 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 simultaneously 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.

- Fault To le rance : Yes.

S p anning (JBOD):

JBOD stands for “ Just a Bunch of Disks”. Each drive is accessed as if it were on a
standard SCSI host bus adapter. This is useful when a single drive configuration is
needed, but it offers no speed improvement or fault tolerance.

Fea tures and Be nefits

- Uses: JBOD works best if y ou hav e odd sized driv es and y ou want to

combine them to make one big drive.

- Benefits: JBOD prov ides the ability to combine odd size driv es using all of

the capacity of the driv es.

- Drawbacks: Decreases performance because of the difficulty in using

driv es concurrently.

- 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 b lo c ks a cros s all t h e driv es in th e array . Faul t to l er ance is mai nt ain ed

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

Features and Benefits

- D r i ves: Minimu m 3.

- U ses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and

gene ral pu rpose servic e.

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

- D r awb acks: Individu al block data tran sfer rate same as a single disk.
Wr it e pe rformance can be CP U i nt e nsive .

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.)

BIOS Setup

Introducti on

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

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 s peed o f the C P U its elf 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.

Init Disp lay First

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Ch oices: PCIEx, PCI Slot (default), Onboard.

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,

28

NF550 AM2 / NF570U AM2

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 t erm , whi ch si gnifies that a resource i s assi gned to the ISA B us
