Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the
motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:
Prepare a dry and stable working environment with
sufficient lighting.
Always disconnect the computer from power outlet
before operation.
Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static
bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely
grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to
remove the static charge.
Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the
rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board
on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the
case after installation. Loose parts will cause short
circuits which may damage the equipment.

CHAPTER 5: RAID FUNCTIONS
5.1 O
Supports Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
PERATING SYSTEM
5.2 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.
5.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
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 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.
Total Capacity: (Minimal. HDD Capacity) x (Connected HDDs Amount)

Block 1
Block 3
Block 5
Block 2
Block 4
Block 6
Page 23
TA75MH2/A55MH2
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: Yes.

Motherboard Manual
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: Yes.
