Introducing the Serial ATA PCI RAID

The Serial ATA PCI RAID is an ultra high-speed two

channel Serial ATA controller board 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

• Increased performance and security with

Serial ATA RAID

• Supports 32-bit wide PCI bus at 66MHz and data

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’s 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 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 holding screw to secure the

card.

7. Now go to Device Connection to connect your

Serial ATA hard disk drives.

DeviceConnection

The Serial ATA PCI RAID is a two channel Serial ATA

controller that supports up to two Serial ATA hard disk

drives. It is recommended to use identical hard drives for

allRAIDconfigurations,however,it's possibletocombine

hard drives of different sizes and makes.

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

2. Connectthe Serial ATAharddisk drivetothe system

power supply using the included 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 PCI RAID.

5. Follow the same instructions to connect a second

hard drive. Device connection is now complete.

6. Replacethecomputer coverand reconnectthepower

cord. Go to RAID Arrays to configure the RAID

BIOS.

RAID Arrays

RAID arrays are setup in the Serial ATA PCI RAID BIOS.

Find your RAID set from the table of contents. Follow the

steps in the order in which they appear.

RAID 0 (Striping)

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

Striping will destroy existing data on the hard drive.

Note: Itisrecommendedto use Auto configuration.

For Advanced users or software applications that

requireacustom chunk size, Manual configuration

is offered.

For Auto Configuration

The default chunk size is 64k when selecting Auto

configuration.

1. AstheBIOSbootspress Ctrl+SorF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

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

press Enter.

3. Select Striped, then press Enter.

4. Select Auto configuration, then press Enter.

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

6. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.

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

exit and reboot.

For Manual Configuration

1. As the BIOS boots press either Ctrl+S or F4 when

prompted to enter the RAID BIOS.

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

press Enter.

3. Select Striped, then press Enter.

4. Select Manual configuration, then press Enter.

5. Select the first drive, press Enter.

6. Select the second drive, press Enter.

7. Select the chunk size, then press Enter.

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

9. Press Ctrl+E to exit the BIOS.

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

exit and reboot.

RAID 1 (Mirror)

For New/Blank Hard Drives

1. AstheBIOS bootspressCtrl+S orF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

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

press Enter.

3. At the next screen select Mirrored then press Enter.

4. Select Auto configuration, then press Enter.

Rebuilding a Failed Mirror Set

When a failure to one member occurs, 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.

1. Shutdown Windows, replace the failed hard drive,

then restart the system.

2. During boot press either Ctrl+S or F4 to enter the

RAID BIOS.

3. Select Rebuild Mirror set then press Enter.

4. Select Offline rebuild then press Enter.

5. WhenaskedAre YouSure (Y/N)?,pressYtoconfirm.

6. The mirror will start to rebuild. When rebuilding

finishes, press Ctrl+E to exit. (Rebuilding can take

30-120 minutes depending on the size of the mirror).

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

exit and reboot.

Deleting RAID Arrays

1. AstheBIOS bootspressCtrl+S orF4whenprompted

to enter the RAID BIOS.

2. Select Delete RAID Set, then press Enter.

3. Press Enter.

4. WhenaskedAre YouSure (Y/N)?,pressYtoconfirm.

5. The RAID set is now deleted.

Resolving Conflicts

When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the

disk includes drive connection information. If, after a

disk failure, the replacement disk was previously part of

a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have

conflicting metadata. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set

from being either created or rebuilt, in order for the RAID

set to function properly, this old metadata must be first

overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, from

the main BIOS window select Resolve Conflicts, then

press Enter, the correct metadata, including the correct

drive connection information, will be written to the

replacement disk.

Low Level Format

Low Level Format is built into the RAID BIOS to make it

more convenient to erase the entire contents of a hard

disk drive, including data, drive and partition

information. The Low Level Format utility works on

singleharddrives only, before the RAID set is configured.
