CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
z Supports Windows XP H ome/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Prof essional.
4.2 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
RAID 1: RAID 1 defi nes techniques for mirroring data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
many applications.
4.3 HOW RAIDWORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “ stripes” dat a 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 blo ck 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-c ritical data requiring high data throughput, or any
env ironment that does not require fault toleranc e.
Benefits: prov ides increased dat a throughput, especially for large files. No
capacity loss penalty f or parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliv er any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array
f ails, all dat a is lost.
Fault Tolerance: No.

Block 1
Block 3
Block 5
Block 2
Block 4
Block 6
Page 23
TP35D3-A7 Deluxe
RAID 1:
Every read and writ e is actually carried out in p arallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) co py of the data can resid e 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 corrupt ed or becomes un available because of a hardware fail ure.
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
me d i a .
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 minim al capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% dat a redundancy. Should one driv e fail, 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 .

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 performance, allowing for
automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with ot her RAID lev els
in an array, and allows for spare disks.
Drawbacks: Requires twice t he available disk space for data redundancy,
the same as RAID level 1.
Fault Tolerance: Yes .

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 from those used to store the data itself.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Min im um 3.
Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general
purpose service.
Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good f ault tolerance,
and high capacity and storage efficiency .
Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write
perf ormance can be CPU intensiv e.

below will show up to notify you that the system may become
unstable, click on “OK” to continue.
Then T-Utili ty will execute a se ries of te sti ng until system fail.
Then system will do fail-safe reboot by using Watchdog function.
After reboot, launch the T-Utility again and the utility will load the
previously verified best and stable frequency.
b. “Verify”:
If you use the “Manual Adjust” bar to adjust the CPU frequency,
then you can click this button and T-Utility will proceed a testing for
current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current frequency
will be saved into system registry. If the testing fails, sy stem will do
a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot, the T-Utility will restore to the
hardware default setting.
Warning:
Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the
ov erclocking percent age is over 110 %. We s trongly recommend you
v erify every speed you overclock by c lick the Verify button. Or, you can
just click Auto overclock button and let T-Utility automatically get s the
best result f or y ou.

In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get
the th e ve rsi o n number of T-Utility.
Note :
Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, T-Utility divides these
features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative button in Main panel will be di sabl ed, but i t will not
interfere with other panels’ functions. This property can make
T-Util ity more robu st.

BIOS Setup
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Phoenix-Award™
BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to
modify the basic system co nfiguration and save thes e settings to CMOS RAM.
The power of CMOS RAM is supplied b y a battery so that it retains the Setup
info rmation when the po wer is t urned off.
Basic Inp ut-Output System (BIOS) d etermines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
outp ut devices suc h as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BI OS
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 Set up.
Plug and Play Support
This PHOENI X-AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Pla y Version 1.0A
spec ification and ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write.
TP 35D3-A 7 Deluxe
EPA Green PC Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC
specification.
APM Support
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS suppo rts Version 1.1&1. 2 of the Ad vanced
Power Management (APM) specification. Power management features are
implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend
power management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk drives and
video monitors can also be managed by this PHOENIX-AW ARD BIOS.

TP 35D3-A 7 Deluxe
ACPI Support
Phoenix-Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0b of Advanced Configuration
and Power interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power
management and device configuration capabilit ies as defined in the ACPI
spec ification, developed by Microso ft, Intel and Toshib a.
PCI Bus Support
This PHOENI X-AWARD BIOS also s upports Vers ion 3.0 of the I ntel PCI
(Peripheral Co mponent Interco nnect) local b us specific ation.
DRAM Support
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) is supported.
Supported CPUs
This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Intel CPU.

will appear o n the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several
setup functions. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter>
to accept and enter the sub-menu.
!! WARNING !!
For better system performance, the BIOS firmware is being
continuously updated. The BIOS informatio n described in
this manual (Figure 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10) is for yo ur
reference only. The actual BIOS information and settings on
board may be slightly different from this manual.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Perso nal
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 compo nents. This section covers some very tec hnical items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced us ers should make any changes to
the default settings.

Auto OverClock System
The Overclock Navigator provides 3 different engines helping you to overclock
your system. These engines will boost your system performance to different
level.
The Choices:
V6 Tech Engine
This setting will raise about 5%~10% of whole system performance.
V8 Tech Engine
This setting will raise about 15%~25% of whole system performance.

Cautions:
1. Not every AMD CPU performs the above overclock setting ideally; the difference may vary
with the installed C P U model.
2. From BET experiment, the Atholon64 FX CP U is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.
