RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Drives

RAID 0,1 are the RAID configurations that HP Elite 7100 Microtower PC products offer as factory
configurations. The pre-configured systems:

Are complete RAID systems and have both drives installed.
Have the necessary Option ROM configuration.
Are pre-loaded and pre-installed with all required Intel software.
Include a preinstalled operating system that is in mirrored mode out of the box.

SMART Technology

*

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis
and Reporting Technology)

Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted

Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as
re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user
downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure
IOEDC: I/O Error Detection Circuitry
Detects errors in Read/Write buffers on HDD cache RAM
Interface in F10 setup provides confirmation of SMART support.

* This feature is inoperable when a RAID configuration is enabled.

Unit Environment and
Operating Conditions

General Unit Operating Guidelines

Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct moisture and the extremes of heat and
cold, to ensure that unit is operated within the specified operating range.
Leave a 4 in (10.2 cm) clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the required airflow.
Never restrict airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are
subject to each other's re-circulated or preheated air.
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front, back, and any other vented side of the computer. Lint,
dust and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must
be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.
