CHAPTER 4: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTIONS

TForce 550 SE

4.1 O

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

PERATION SYSTEM

4.2 RAID ARRAYS

NVRAID 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 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

4.3 HOW RAID WORKS

RAID 0:

The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large f ile into smal ler blo cks a nd perfo rms d isk re ads an d writ es ac ross multip le
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 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

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.

Block 1
Block 3
Block 5

Blo ck 2
Block 4
Block 6

23

Motherboard Manual

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.

Automatic Overclock System (A.O.S.)

For beginners in overclock field, BET had developed an easy, fast, and
powerful feature to increase the system performance, named A.O.S.

Based on many tests and experiments, A.O.S. provides 3 ideal overclock
configurations that are able to raise the system performance in a single
step.

V6 Te ch Engine:

This setting will raise about 10%~15% of whole system performance.

V8 Te ch Engine:

This setting will raise about 15%~25% of whole system performance.

29

Motherboard Manual

V12 Te ch Engine:

This setting will raise about 25%~30% of whole system performance.

Notices:

1. Not all types of AMD CPU perform above overclock setting ideally; the difference will be based
on the selected CPU model.

2. From BET experiments, the Atholon64 FX CPU is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.

B. CMOS Reloading Program (C.R.P.):

It allows users to save different CMOS settings into BIOS-ROM.
Users are able to reload any saved CMOS setting for customizing system

configurations.
Moreover, users are able to save an ideal overclock setting during overclock

operation.
There are 50 sets of record addresses in total, and users are able to name the

CMOS data according to personal preference.

30

TForce 550 SE

C. Memory Integration Test (M.I.T.):

This function is under “Overclocking Navigator Engine” item.
MIT allows users to test memory compatibilities, and no extra devices or

software are needed.

Step 1:

The default setting under this item is “Disabled”; the condition parameter should
be changed to “Enable” to proceed this test.

↓

Step 2:

Save and Exit from CMOS setup and reboot the system to activate this test.
Run this test for 5 minutes (minimum) to ensure the memory stability.

Step 3:

When the process is done, change the setting back from “Enable” to “Disable”
to complete the test.

31

BIOS Setup

Introduction

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
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the
operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password
protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in
BIOS Setup.

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 speed of the CPU itself 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.

 Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations

Init Display First

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Choices: 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

TForce 550 SE

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 term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for
add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.

IRQ Resources

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending
on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag,
you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system
interrupts. This is only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to
“Manual”.
