Configuring IDE RAID Hard Drive(s) (Controller GigaRAID (IT8212))

To set up IDE RAID hard drive(s), follow the steps below

(1) Install IDE hard drive(s) in your computer.

(2) Configure GigaRAID controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup.

(3)* Configure RAID set in RAID BIOS.

(4) Make a floppy disk containing the IDE RAID controller driver

(5) Install the IDE RAID controller driver during OS installation.

Before you begin

Please prepare:

(a) Two IDE hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use two hard

drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the GigaRAID controller,

you may prepare only one hard drive.

(b) An empty formatted floppy disk.

(d) Driver CD for your motherboard.

(1) Installing IDE hard drive(s) in your system

Attach one end of the IDE cable to the rear of the IDE hard drive and the other end to IDE port(s) controlled

by the GigaRAID controller on the motherboard. (To ensure that your IDE CD-ROM drive can work

properly, please connect it to the IDE port that is controlled by the Southbridge, not the GigaRAID controller).

Then connect the power connector from your power supply to the hard drive(s).

"*" Skip this step if you do not want to create RAID array on the IDE controller

(2) Configuring GigaRAID controller mode and boot sequence in BIOS Setup

You have to make sure whether the GigaRAID controller are configured correctly in system BIOS Setup

and set BIOS boot sequence for the IDE RAID hard drive(s).

Step 1:

Turn on your computer and press Del to enter BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). If you want

to create RAID, assure that the Onboard H/W GIGARAID item under Integrated Peripherals is set

to Enabled and GigaRAID Function to RAID (Figure 1). If you do not want to create RAID, set GigaRAID

Function to ATA.

motherboard. The actual BIOS Setup menu options you will see shall depend on the motherboard

you have and the BIOS version .

Step 2

Next, go to Advanced BIOS Features and select Hard Disk Boot Priority. In the Hard Disk Boot Priority

submenu, use the ARROW keys to select the desired IDE hard drive onto which you want to install

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and use the PLUS SIGN to move it up to the first item. In this procedure,

we select 1. SCSI-0: IT8212 (Figure 2).

Step 3

Set First Boot Device to CD-ROM so you can boot from Installation CD after system restarts.(Figure

(3) Configuring RAID set in RAID BIOS

Enter the RAID setup utility to create RAID set on the GigaRAID controller. Skip this step and proceed

to Section 4 if you do not want to create RAID.

Step 1:

If you have attached hard drives to the GigaRAID controller correctly, after the Power-On Self Test (POST)

memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, the GigaRAID BIOS will detect the

drives attached and show the following screen.

Figure 4

After entering the GigaRAID Setup Utility, you should see a screen similar to Figure 5 below.

Navigate the GigaRAID Setup Utility: You can use Number keys 1 to 5 to select the item you need.

Auto Configuration [1]: It will guide you to set an array and this is the simplest and fastest way to

create your first array.

Define RAID [2]: To manually create an array, press 2 to enter the Define RAID menu.

Delete RAID [3]: To delete existing RAID set, press 3 to enter the Delete RAID menu.

Rebuild RAID [4]: To rebuild RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 set, press 4 to enter the Rebuild RAID menu.

RAID Card Configuration [5]: To check information about the RAID controller and current hard drive

status, press 5 to enter the RAID Card Configuration screen.

Auto Configuration

Auto Configuration will guide you to set an array and this is the simplest and fastest way to create

your first array. You should see a screen similar to Figure 6 below after pressing 1 from the Main Menu.

Auto Configuration Menu: You can use the ARROW keys or SPACEBAR to cycle through RAID mode

options under the Setup Array Type as item. The supported RAID modes include RAID0, RAID1,

RAID0+1, JBOD, and Normal (standard ATA mode). The folllowing is an example of RAID 0 creation.

Array Configuration: This section displays the information about the RAID set you select, such as RAID

mode and RAID array size.

After selecting the RAID mode, press CTRL+Y to save the settings. Press Y to confirm your selection.

And press any key to return to the Main Menu. This action completes RAID configuration.

Define RAID:

The Define RAID selection allows you to create RAID set with several hard drives to mirror the data from

a damaged RAID 1 (or RAID 0+1) hard drive to the new replacement hard drive.

Press 2 in Main Menu and the Define RAID Menu as shown in Figure 7 will appear. Use ARROW keys

to highlight through arrays and press ENTER after selecting an array. You will see the Define RAID Sub-

Menu (Figure 8 on next page) from which you may configure the new RAID array.

Define RAID Sub-Menu (Figure 8):

Use the UP or DOWN ARROW key to move to an item and use SPACEBAR to cycle through options.

RAID Array Setup Sequence--

1. Array Mode: Press SPACEBAR under this item to select RAID 0 (Striping) mode. In the following

procedure, we will create a RAID 0 (Striping) array as an example.

2. Block Size: If you select to create RAID 0 (Striping) or RAID 0+1 (Striping+Mirroring), you have to specify

the block size. The block size options include 1KB, 2KB, 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 32KB and 64KB.

3. Assignment: Use the ARROW keys to move to the Assignment section of the desired hard drive and

press SPACEBAR to change the Assignment option to Y. This action adds the drive to the RAID set. To

successfully create a RAID array, you need to set at least two hard drives to Y status. You will see that

the Drive No section displays the number of hard drives that are labeled with Y.

4. Press CTRL+Y to save the selection.

5. Next, if you are sure to erase the old data in the hard drive, press Y to confirm (or N to cancel). Now,

you should see "Functional" in the Status section, which indicates the RAID array is operational.

6. Press ESC to return to the Define RAID Menu and you should see the functional RAID set (refer to

Figure 9 on next page).

Delete RAID:

Press 3 in Main Menu to enter the Delete RAID Menu (Figure 10).

Use UP or DOWN ARROW key to move the selection bar to the RAID array that you want to delete and

press Del.

Figure 10

 

When a screen similar to that below appears, confirm again whether you are sure to delete the RAID array.

Press CTRL+Y to confirm or other key to abort. Then, when the "Erase the data in the array?" message

appears, press Y if you want to keep the data in the RAID set,
