the initialization complete. When "Foreground Initialization", the
initialization proceeds must be completed before the volume
set ready for system accesses. There is no initialization happed
when you select "No Init" option. "No Init" is for customer to
rescue volume without losing data in the disk.

Stripe Size

This parameter sets the size of the stripe written to each disk
in a RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50 or 60 logical drive. You can set the
stripe size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, 128 KB, 256KB,
512KB, or 1024KB. A larger stripe size produces better read
performance, especially if your computer does mostly sequen-
tial reads. However, if you are sure that your computer does
random reads more often, select a smaller stripe size.
Note:
RAID level 3 can't modify the cache stripe size.
Roaming the stripe size 256K/512K/1024K Raid Set to
firmware version older than 1.52 will cause data corruption.

Cache Mode

The 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller supports "Write Through" and
"Write Back" cache.

• Tagged Command Queuing

The "Enabled" option is useful for enhancing overall system
performance under multi-tasking operating systems. The
Command Tag (Drive Channel) function controls the SAS
command tag queuing support for each drive channel. This
function should normally remain "Enabled". "Disabled" this
function only when using SAS drives that do not support
command tag queuing.

• SCSI Channel/SCSI ID/SCSI Lun

SCSI Channel: The 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller function is simu-
lated as a external SCSI RAID controller. The host bus is repre-
sented as a SCSI channel. Choose the SCSI Channel.
SCSI ID: Each SCSI device attached to the SCSI card, as well
as the card itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number.
