5 RAID Conguration This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and conguring RAID sets using the available utilities. Chapter 5: RAID Conguration
5-2 Chapter 5: RAID conguration 5.1 Setting up RAID The motherboard comes with the Intel ® C222 controller that supports Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows ® OS only). 5.1.1 RAID definitions RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup. RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID conguration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive. RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 conguration you get all the benets of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup. RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup. If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy rst the RAID driver from the support DVD to a oppy disk before you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
ASUS TS110-E8-PI4 5-3 5.1.3 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS You must set the RAID mode in the BIOS Setup to be able to launch the RAID utilities before you can create a RAID set from the SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel ® C222 chipset. To do this: 1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST. 2. Go to the Advanced Menu > SATA Configuration , then press <Enter>. 3. Set SATA Mode to [RAID]. 4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup. Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup. 5.1.4 RAID configuration utilities Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM Utility if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel ® C222 chipset. 5.1.2 Installing hard disk drives The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array. To install the SATA hard disks for RAID conguration: 1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide. 2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard. 3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.
5-4 Chapter 5: RAID conguration 5.2 Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM Utility The Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility allows you to create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1 0), and RAID 5 set from Serial ATA hard disk drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge. The navigation keys at the bottom of the screen allow you to move through the menus and select the menu options. The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen. To launch the Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility: 1. Turn on the system. 2. During POST, press <Ctrl> <I> to display the utility main menu. Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives, and have set the correct SATA mode in the BIOS setup. You can refer to the Installing hard disk drives and 5.1.3 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS section for more information.
