AK77-600 Max Online Manual 220 0 μ F L o w ES R Ca p a c it o r The quality of low ESR capacitor (Low Equivalent Series Resistance) during high frequency operation is very important for the stability of CPU power. The idea of where to put these capacitors is another know-how that requires experience and detail calculation. Not only that, this motherboard implements 2200μF capacitor, which is much larger than normal capacitor (1000 or 1500μF) and it provides better stability for CPU power.
AK77-600 Max Online Manual The power circuit of the CPU core voltage must be checked to ensure system stability for high speed CPUs (such as the new Pentium III, or when overclocking). A typical CPU core voltage is 2.0V, so a good design should control voltage between 1.860V and 2.140V. That is, the transient must be below 280mV. Below is a timing diagram captured by a Digital Storage Scope, it shows the voltage transient is only 143mv even when maximum 60 current is applied.
AK77-600 Max Online Manual R A ID I nt r o d uc ti o n W h a t ’s R A I D ? Two major challenges facing the storage industry today are keeping pace with the increasing performance demands of computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and providing data accessibility in the face of hard disk failures. The idea of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) was first introduced by David A. Patterson, Garth Gibson and Randy H. Katz at the University California at Berkeley in 1988.
AK77-600 Max Online Manual What a re t he RAID lev els ? Striping / Span (RAID 0) RAID level 0, which is the fastest drive array you can have, is a performance-oriented disk mapping method. The data in this array gets written across a stripe or different disks for a faster transfer. This technique has striping but no redundancy of data. It offers the best performance but no fault-tolerance. Reads and writes sector of data interleaved between multiple drives.
AK77-600 Max Online Manual Mi r ro r in g ( R A ID 1) Block 1 RAID level 1 uses at least two duplicate hard drives and store the exact same blocks of information between them. This is the slowest form of Block 2 fault tolerance because the data has to be replicated onto two disks at Block 3 the same time. However, this is the simplest way to provide high reliability.
AK77-600 Max Online Manual Striping with Mirroring (RAID 0+1) As the name would suggest, RAID 0+1 is striping and mirroring combined. This RAID combines the best of both RAID 0 and RAID 1. It takes a Disk stripe using two disks, and mirrors it to another set of disks for fault tolerance. Data is stripped across several disks, each disk has partner with exactly the same data on it. You get the benefits of fast data access as in RAID 0, with the fault tolerance of RAID 1.
