Introduction The ALi M5283 is a highly integrated disk drive controller that is capable of managing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA interface hard disk drives. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1.0 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also comes with cost-effective RAID functionality that can be used to increase data read/write speed and to provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID1).
NANO-8522 Motherboard E.1.1 Precautions One key benefit a RAID configuration brings is that a single hard drive can fail within a RAID array without damaging data. With RAID1 array, a failed drive can be replaced and the RAID configuration restored.
ALi RAID BIOS V1.XX (c) ALi Corporation 2005, All Rights Reserved. Identifying IDE drives… Channel 1 Master: Maxtor xxxxxx Channel 2 Master: Maxtor xxxxxx Press Ctrl-A to enter ALi RAID BIOS setup utility Press C and A keys simultaneously to enter the RAID configuration utility. RAID BIOS Setup Utility The Serial ATA RAID volume can be configured using the RAID Configuration utility stored within the ALi RAID controller ROM.
NANO-8522 Motherboard RAID Options: E.5.1 Create RAID0 Striping for Performance WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives.
NOTE: 1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on the RAID configuration options. Parallel-ATA drives connected on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID0 array. Avoid mixing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID0 array. 2.

NANO-8522 Motherboard All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives.
Select a small stripe size if the I/Os to the hard drives are small and randomly occurred. Choose a larger stripe size if the I/Os are mostly large and come in sequential orders, e.g., A/V playback and editing applications. The default value should be appropriate for most applications.
NANO-8522 Motherboard E.5.7 Rebuild RAID Array The Rebuild RAID Array option can rebuild a RAID array if a member of a RAID configuration should fail. Neither RAID0 nor JBOD provides data redundancy. The Rebuild RAID Array option only applies to RAID1 arrays and is applicable when a member of a RAID1 configuration has failed.
