3.3 RAID configurations The motherboard supports the following RAID configurations. 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.
If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a RAID set, copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk before you install an operating system to a selected hard disk drive. Refer to section “3.4 Creating a RAID driver disk” for details. 3.3.1 Installing hard disks The motherboard supports RAID function on Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
Create Array From the VIA RAID BIOS utility main menu, select Create Array then press . The main menu items on the upper-left corner of the screen are replaced with create array menu options. VIA Tech. VT8251 Series SATA RAID BIOS Ver 1.
4. Press to confirm or to return to the configuration options. If you selected , proceed to step 9. 5. Select Select Disk Drives, then press . Use arrow keys to select disk drive, then press to mark selected drive. An asterisk appears before a selected drive. 6. Select Block Size, then press to set array block size. A list of valid array block sizes are displayed on a pop-up menu. TIP: For server systems, use of a lower array block size is recommended.
3. From this point, you can auto-configure the RAID array by selecting Auto Setup for Data Security or manually configure the RAID array for mirrored sets. If you want to auto-configure, proceed to the next step, otherwise, skip to step 6. 4. Select Auto Setup for Data Security and press . The following confirmation message appears. Auto create array will destroy all data on disks, Continue? (Y/N) 5. Press to confirm or to return to the configuration options.
3.3.2 JMicron® RAID Configuration The JMicron® Serial ATA controller allows you to configure RAID 0 and RAID 1 sets on the external Serial ATA hard disk drives. Before creating a RAID set Prepare the following items: 1. Two HDDs, preferably with the same model and capacity. 2. A write-enabled floppy disk 3. Microsoft® Windows® OS installation disk (Windows 2000/XP/2003) 4. Motherboard support CD with JMB363 driver Complete the following steps before you create a RAID set: 1.
Entering the JMB363 RAID BIOS utility 1. During POST, press to enter the JBM363 RAID BIOS menu. JMicron Technology Corp. PCI-to-SATA II/IDE RAID Controller BIOS v0.97 Copyright (C) 2004-2005 JMicron Technology http://www. jmicron.com HDD0 : HDS722516VLSA80 HDD1 : HDS722516DLA380 164 GB Non-RAID 164 GB Non-RAID Press to enter RAID Setup Utility... 2. The main JMB363 RAID BIOS menu appears. 3. Use the arrow keys to move the color bar and navigate through the items.
2. 3. When the Level item is highlighted, use the up/down arrow key to select the RAID set that you want to create.
5. When done, press to confirm the creation of the RAID set. A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press to confirm; otherwise, press . JMicron Technology Corp. PCI-to-SATA II/IDE RAID Controller BIOS v0.
Deleting a RAID set 1. In the main JMB363 RAID BIOS menu, highlight Delete RAID Disk Drive using the up/down arrow key then press . [Main Menu] Create RAID Disk Drive Delete RAID Disk Drive Revert HDD to Non-RAID Repair Mirror Conflict Save and Exit Setup Exit Without Saving 2. Use the space bar to select the RAID set you want to delete. A selected set shows a delete the set. 3. sign before it. Press the key to A dialogue box appears to confirm the action.
Resetting disks to non-RAID An HDD that has been previously configured as part of another RAID set in another platform is called a broken RAID HDD. When you install a broken RAID HDD, you cannot select this HDD when configuring a RAID set through the JMB363 utility. To reset disks to non-RAID: 1. In the main JMB363 RAID BIOS menu, highlight Revert HDD to non‑RAID using the up/down arrow key then press .
Repairing a Mirror conflict A Mirror conflict occurs when one or both disks in a RAID 1 (Mirror) configuration are unplugged from the system, then plugged in again. Since both disks contain exactly the same data, the system will be unable to determine which of the two is the source drive. This option allows you to set the source drive and rebuild the Mirror drive according to the contents of the source drive. To repair a Mirror conflict: 1.
Saving the settings and exiting setup When you have finished, highlight Save & Exit Setup using the up/down arrow key then press to save the current RAID configuration and exit the JMB363 RAID BOS utility. A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press to confirm; otherwise, press to return to the JMB RAID BIOS menu.
3.4 Creating a RAID driver disk A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows® 2000/XP operating system on a hard disk drive that is included in a RAID set. To create a RAID driver disk: 1. Place the motherboard support CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2.
