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

Motherboard Manual 
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever toward direct B to complete the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU FAN power cable to the CPU_FAN1. This completes the installation.

Motherboard Manual 
CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1OPERATING SYSTEM
Supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
4.2RAID 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. RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
4.3HOW 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 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.
