Chapter Seven Common Problems and Trouble-shooting
4. The out of order problem introduction in Windows Server 2008 system
The phenomenon that the system disk /RAID volume is inconsistent with the
physical disk /RAID volume will appear when this product is in the AHCI mode (with
more than one disks) or HostRAID mode (with more than one RAID volume) of SATA
configuration when installing Windows Server 2008 operating system. This phenom-
enon is the Bug of Windows Server 2008 operating system.
In the AHCI mode, if you want to install the operating system on the first physi-
cal disk, when installing the operating system, you can insert the first disk and pull
out other disks. You can insert other disks after the installation is completed. Or enter
BIOS→SATA Configuration →SATA Port item and set SATA Port3/ Port4/ Port5 item
to [Disabled]. At this time, the system will be installed to the first physical disk. After
the completion of operating system installation, set SATA Port3/Port4/ Port5 item to
[Enabled].
In the HostRAID mode, please record the name of the RAID volume when you
are doing the RAID setting. When installing the operating system, please distinguish
the name of RAID volume so that the operating system can be installed in specified
place.
5. Explanation that the disk array capacity under SATA HostRAID mode is not the
maximum capacity.
This product integrates SATA HostRAID. During the creation of RAID volume,
the system will automatically analyze the size of the physical disk and will automati-
cally adjust the size of the RAID volume to 97% of the minimum physical disk volume.
Because of the different suppliers, physical disk capacity may vary.
