Introducing the Serial ATA 4-Channel RAID

The Serial ATA 4-Channel RAID is an ultra high-speed

four channel Serial ATA controller for use in Pentium

class computers. It achieves burst data transfer rates up

to 150MB/s (1.5Gb/s) and supports various brands of

hard disk drives with capacities greater that 137GB.

Features and Benefits

• Compliant with Serial ATA Specification, revision

1.0

• Compliant with PCI Specification, revision 2.2

• Provides four independent channels to support up

to four Serial ATA drives

• Co-exists with on-board Ultra ATA controller

• Supports 32-bit wide PCI bus at 66MHz

• Supports RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring) and

RAID 10 (mirroring+striping) RAID Arrays and

Single and JBOD modes

• Lower pin count and voltage requirement, plus

better cabling over traditional Parallel ATA make

Serial ATA the controller of the future

Hardware Installation

General instructions for installing the card are provided

below. Since the design of computer cases and

motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference

manual for further information, if needed.

Static electricity discharge may permanently damage

your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in

your body by touching your computer case for a few

seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and

handle cards only by their external edges.

1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any

other connected peripheral devices.

2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the

computer.

3. Remove your computer’s cover.

4. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCI slot.

5. To install the card, carefully align the card's bus

connector with the selected PCI slot on the

motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but

gently, until it is well seated.

6. Replace the slot bracket's holding screw to secure

thecard.

7. Now go to Device Connection to connect your

Serial ATA hard disk drives.

DeviceConnection

It is recommended to use identical hard drives for all

RAID configurations, however, it's possible to combine

hard drives of different sizes and makes.

1. Install your hard disk drive(s) in the chassis.

2. ConnecttheSerial ATA harddiskdrive tothesystem

power supply using the included Dual Connector

Serial ATA power cable.

3. Connect one end of the Serial ATA data cable to the

hard disk drive.

Figure 2. Hard disk drive connections

4. Attach the other end of the Serial ATA data cable to

the Serial ATA connector on the Serial ATA

4-channelRAID.

Figure 3. Connecting the Serial ATA cable

5. Follow the same instructions to connect up to four

hard drives. Device connection is now complete.

Note: If it is your desire to monitor disk activity of

the Serial ATA hard drives, you may at this time

connect the hard disk LED of the system case to the

Hard Disk LED Pins on the Serial ATA controller,

see Board Layout on page 2for the location of the

pins. All four Serial ATA Connectors activate the

LED. For most systems connect the Red wire to the

pin farthest from the mounting bracket.

6. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the

power cord. Go to RAID Arrays to configure the

RAIDBIOS.

RAID Arrays

RAID Arrays are setup in the Serial ATA 4-Channel RAID

BIOS.

RAID 0 (Striping)

This RAID array to be used on New/Blank hard drives.

Striping will destroy existing data on the hard drive.

For Manual Configuration

1. AstheBIOSbootspressCtrl+S orF4 whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

press Enter.

3. Select RAID0, then press Enter.

4. Select the number of drives then press Enter.

5. Select Manual configuration then press Enter.

6. Select chunk size from 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k, 64k or 128k,

then press Enter.

7. Select the first drive, press Enter.

8. Select the second drive, press Enter.

9. If applicable select the 3rd and 4th drives pressing

enter after each selection.

10. After selecting the last drive, you are asked Are You

Sure (Y/N)?, press Yto accept.

11. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.

12. When asked Are you sure to exit (Y/N)?, press Yto

exit.

13. Continue with Fdisk and Format steps as if you

were installing a conventional hard drive.

For Auto Configuration

The default chunk size is 64k when selecting Auto

configuration.

1. AstheBIOS bootspressCtrl+S orF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

2. At the next screen select Create RAID Set, then

press Enter.

3. Select RAID0, then press Enter.

4. Select the number of drives then press Enter.

5. Select Auto configuration, then press Enter.

6. When asked Are You Sure (Y/N)?, press Yto accept.

7. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.

8. When asked Are you sure to exit (Y/N)?, press Yto

exit and reboot.

9. Continue with Fdisk and Format steps as if you

were installing a conventional hard drive.

RAID 1 (Mirror)

exit.

The SPAREdrive will notbe seen byWindows, however,

it remains in the background waiting to rebuild the

mirror in the event of a hard drive failure.

Rebuilding a Failed Mirror Set

Whenafailuretoonememberoccurs, you will be notified

either by the RAID BIOS during boot or by the SATA

Raid GUI while in Windows. The steps below will guide

you in rebuilding a failed mirror set.

exit.

Note: If during restart the RAID BIOS reports an

incomplete RAID set, disregard the message,

continue booting, and let the Mirror rebuild.
