  • Page 198 PCISA-LX CPU Card E.1 Introduction The ALi M5283 SATA RAID chipset can control parallel ATA (PATA) and serial ATA (SATA) disks. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also has a cost-effective RAID functionality that can increase the data read/write speed and provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID 1).
  • Page 199 PCISA -LX CPU Card CAUTION: Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route the cables within the chassis to avoid system down time.

  • Page 203 PCISA -LX CPU Card NOTE: 1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on the RAID configuration options. PATA drives connected on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID 0 array. Avoid mixing PATA and SATA disk drives in a RAID 0 array.
  • Page 204 PCISA-LX CPU Card E.4.2 Create RAID 1 Mirroring for Reliability WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration is 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.

  • Page 207 PCISA -LX CPU Card E.4.4 Stripe Size Changing the stripe size effects RAID 0 arrays. Configurable options are: 64K (default) Select a small stripe size if the I/Os to the hard drives are small and occur randomly. 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.
