    Installation Precautions ■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electronic equipment. Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. ■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing CPU, memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to unplug the AC power cord from the power supply outlet.

Windows XP or Windows 7 Install CD. Steps to install a new Windows XP (Windows 7) in a brand new RAID system: 1. Follow 5-3 to install SATA hard disks.
  • Page 73 RAID CONFIGURATION RAID 0 (Stripe) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved among multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array. The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member. The striping block size can be set from 4KB to 128KB. RAID 0 does not support fault tolerance.
  • Page 74: Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise

    RAID CONFIGURATION 5-2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise technology supports RAID 0 ,RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 (0+1) functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity, or data safety provided by different RAID functions. In this section, we will use four SATA hard disks as an example to guide you how to configure your RAID system. There are two 149.0GBs and two 74.5GBs. A creation of second volume will also be well described. In each screen, there is also a message bar about each key’s function, such as <Tab>, <Enter>, <Del>...etc.

    RAID CONFIGURATION 5-4 Create a RAID driver diskette If you want to install a brand new Windows XP on a AHCI or RAID system, you need to configure the SATA Mode in BIOS to either AHCI or RAID first. You also need to create a RAID driver diskette for use in installing your Windows XP system. Windows 7 has native RAID driver in itself, you can skip these steps. 1. Find a PC, put a diskette into its floppy drive A:, this diskette will be formatted later. Put the driver CD into DVD-ROM drive.
