CHAPTER 4: NVIDIA RAID FUNC TIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
Supports Windows XP H ome/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
NVRAID supports t he f ollowing ty pes 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.
Spanni ng (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 RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple d rives 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 t ime and o ffers 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
env ironment that does not require f ault 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
f ails, all data is lost.
Fault Tolerance: No.
24
Blo c k 1
Block 3
Block 5
Block 2
Block 4
Block 6
Page 27
TForce 570 U
RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually carried out in p arallel across 2 disk drives in a RA ID 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 v olume or dri ve is corrupted o r becomes unavailable because 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 media.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application t hat
requires f ault tolerance and minimal c apacity.
Benefits: Provides 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 drive rebuilds.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Motherboard Manual
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.
Features and Benefits
- Dr ives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.
- Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and perf ormance, allowing f or
automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID
lev els 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.

Spanning (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.
Features and Benefits
- Uses: JBOD works best if y ou hav e odd sized drives and y ou want to
combine them to make one big drive.
- Benefi ts: JBOD provides the ability to combine odd size drives using all of
the capacity of the drives.
- Drawbacks: Decreases performance because of the dif ficulty in using
driv es concurrently.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes .

Au tom atic O ve r clo ck S ys te m ( A .O .S . )
For beginners in overclock f ield, 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. prov ides 3 ideal overclock
configurations that are able to raise the system performance in a single
step.
V6 Tech Engin e:
This setting will raise about 10%~15% of whole system perf ormance.
V8 Tech Engin e:
This setting will raise about 15%~25% of whole system perf ormance.
31
Page 34
Motherboard Manual
V12 Tech Engine:
This setting will raise about 25%~30% of whole system perf ormance.
Notices:
1. Not all types of AMD CPU perform above overclock setting ideally; the di fferenc e 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 ov erclock 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.

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 co mponents. This s ectio n co vers some very technical items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.

This item allows you to dec ide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Choices: PCI Ex, PCI Slot (default), Onboard.
Reset Configuration Data
The s ystem BI OS s uppo rts t he P nP feature whic h requires the system to reco rd
whic h reso urces are ass ign ed and pro tects resourc es fro m co nf lict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records
whic h resourc es are ass igned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory loc atio ns. These locat ions 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 las t one. If the Enabled option is chosen,
28
Page 99
TForce 570 U
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is auto matically set to the
“Disabled” mode.
The above set tings wil l be shown on the scr een only if “Manual” is chosen for
the res ourc es cont ro lled by funct ion.
Legacy is the term, which signif ies that a resourc e is assigned to the ISA Bus

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 sys tem
interrupts. This is only configurable when “Reso urces Controlled By” is set to
