CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Step 1: Remove the socket protection cap.
Step 2: Pull the lever toward direction A from the socket and then raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 3: 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.

CHAPTER 4: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1OPERATION SYSTEM
Supports Windows XP Home/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.
4.2RAID ARRAYS
NVRAID supports thef 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.
Spanning (JBOD): JBOD provides a method for combining drives ofdifferent sizes in to one large disk.
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 ofthe RAID set based on the systemenvironment. 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 platf orm.
Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any
env ironment that does not requiref ault tolerance.
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 Tolerance: No.

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 ofthe 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 ofa 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 idealfor small databases or any other applicationthat requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv ef 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 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
-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 spacef or 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 driv es andy ou want to combine them to make one big drive.
-Benefits:JBOD prov ides the ability to combine oddsize driv es using all of
the capacity of the driv es.
-Drawbacks: Decreases performance because of the difficulty in using driv es concurrently.
-Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Disk 1: 40GB
Disk 2: 80GB
Disk 3: 40GB
Disk 4: 120GB

TForce 570 U
RAID 5:
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes
data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained by ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a different drive fromthose used to store the data itself.
Features and Benefits
-Drives: Minimum 3.
-Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general purpose service.
-Benefits:An ideal combination of good performance, good fault tolerance, and high capacity and storage efficiency.
-Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write performance can be CPU intensive.
-Fault Tolerance: Yes.
