  • Page 43: Appendix Ii: Raid Setup

    Mainboard KM51PV-754 Appendix II: RAID Setup Introduction to RAID RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology is a sophisticated disk management system that manages multiple disk drives. It enhances I/O performance and provides redundancy in order to prevent the loss of data in case of individual disk failure. The RAID facility on this board provides RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID JBOD, and RAID 5.
  • Page 44 Mainboard KM51PV-754 3.On the “RAID config” screen (shown below-right), enable the disks that you want to use as RAID disks (in this example there are four SATA hard drives configured as RAID disks). NVIDIA RAID Utility Configuration The NVIDIA RAID Utility is used to configure RAID disk management into your hard disks. This section will explain how to setup and maintain your RAID disk drives.
  • Page 45 Mainboard KM51PV-754 For Example: On a board with 4 connectors (PATA1, PATA2, SATA1, SATA2), the following applies: 0.0.M = PATA1 (master drive) 0.0.S = PATA1 (slave drive) 0.1.M = PATA2 (master drive) 0.1.S = PATA2 (slave drive) 1.0.M = SATA1 1.1.M = SATA2...
  • Page 46 Mainboard KM51PV-754 Next, in the “Free Disks” section, you can use the up/down arrow keys to select disks to be used in your RAID array. After highlighting a disk, use the right-arrow key to activate the disk as part of the RAID Array. The selected disk will move over to the “Array Disks” section. You can use the left-arrow key to reverse your selection.
  • Page 47 Mainboard KM51PV-754 Deleting an Array You can delete an existing array on the “Array Detail” screen. Press the <D> key. A warning/confirmation message will display (as shown below). Press <Y> to confirm. After the array is successfully deleted, the screen will display as shown below.
  • Page 48 Mainboard KM51PV-754 Rebuilding a RAID Mirrored Array This section applies to Mirrored, Striped Mirroring RAID and RAID 5 configurations and describes how to reestablish the integrity of a mirrored environment after replacing one of the drives (typically because of a single disk failure). After replacing the errant drive, the rebuild process will move data from its mirrored sibling drive (the drive with information still intact) to the newly installed drive.
  • Page 49 Mainboard KM51PV-754 ® Install the OS of Windows 2000/XP into your RAID HDDs ® In this section, it will tell you how to install the operating system of Windows 2000/XP into your RAID drives. The installation steps below will assume that your HDDs have already been attached to either the PATA or SATA connectors, and also your BIOS RAID Utility has already been configured (see NVIDIA BIOS RAID Utility Configuration section).
  • Page 50: Appendix Iii: Abs (Albatron Bios Security) Card Setup

    Appendix III: ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) Card Setup Introduction The ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) system provides your system with a recovery BIOS backup when your onboard BIOS has been damaged beyond system boot capability. Preparation and Setup You should prepare a boot floppy disk and have it ready in case of such BIOS failures.
  • Page 51 Mainboard KM51PV-754 Place the boot floppy disk (from the “Preparation and Setup” section) into the floppy drive and turn on your system. Note: If your system is not setup to use the floppy drive as the first boot drive, you must enter the BIOS setup utility and make the appropriate adjustments.
  • Page 52 Mainboard KM51PV-754 8. The initial AWARD BIOS FLASH screen (shown below-left) will appear and prompt you with the message, “Do you want to save BIOS?” Type “N” (Note: Typing “Y” is only used when saving the BIOS from the onboard BIOS to the floppy disk).
  • Page 53 Mainboard KM51PV-754 10. During the next boot sequence, enter the BIOS utility program (Note: During the boot sequence you will be given a chance to enter the BIOS utility by pressing the “DEL” key on most systems). Load the system with the default settings, and save the changes before exit the BIOS utility program.
  • Page 54 Mainboard KM51PV-754 11. After you have recovered your onboard BIOS, you can choose to remove or not remove the ABS Card from the mainboard. If you do choose to remove the ABS Card from the mainboard, make sure that the system is powered off before you remove the card.
