IR-700 Technical Reference Guide Chapter 7 How to Use RAID The IR-700 has a RAID controller on the main circuit board. The RAID system on the model with 2 hard disk drives enables the system to operate continuously and avoid loss of data, which improves the security. This chapter has the following contents: ❏ What is RAID? Describes the basics of RAID. ❏ IR-700 RAID System Describes detailed information about the IR-700 RAID system. ❏ Settings before Use Describes the settings before you use RAID.
PAGE 300
What is RAID? RAID is a disk subsystem that employs two or more ordinary hard disk drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. The IR-700 supports RAID 1 which provides for disk mirroring. In a RAID system using mirroring, all data in the system is written simultaneously to two separate hard disks within the same system. Since all the data is on the second drive, it is ready to use if the first one fails.
PAGE 301
IR-700 Technical Reference Guide There is no difference in user operations between using two hard disk drives and using one drive. To use the system with RAID1, two hard disk drives must be configured for mirroring in the RAID BIOS. NOTE The two hard disk drives to be used for the mirroring must be the same model and have the same capacity. Array Build To use RAID, RAID arrays for the two hard disk drives must be configured. The configuration can be made by the RAID BIOS.
PAGE 302
RAID Status and Error Detection ❏ Critical/Dropped The hard disk drive is at fault ❏ Rebuild Rebuilding the arrays ❏ Sync Checking the synchronization of the two disks ❏ Current The system is operating normally Detecting RAID errors are made by the following methods. ❏ During system startup Errors can be detected by the RAID BIOS ❏ During Windows runs Various real-time alerts are available by GUI utility. The GUI utility also allows you to check the operational status.
PAGE 303
IR-700 Technical Reference Guide Error Detection Functions of Utility The following error detection functions are available through the GUI utility and the RAID Event Watch tool. Refer to Page Alerting Method Description Default Remarks Tool Color of the task tray icon The color of SATARaid icon on the task tray changes when an error occurs during operation under Windows. Information Level Windows task tray is used. So, this cannot be seen when making the window go full-screen.

IR-700 Technical Reference Guide System Interrupts The system connects 2 8259A-equivalent interrupt controllers in cascade and has 15 levels of interrupts, besides NMIs. The following table shows the application for each interrupt. Change the system interrupts with the BIOS setup program or Plug & Play function. Assign COM5 and COM6 to interrupts not in use.

Real-time Clock The real-time clock (RTC) is built in the chipset (Intel 82801DA). The RTC has a clock function and CMOS RAM function, and is backed up by the built-in lithium primary battery even when the system is turned off. CMOS RAM stores the system setting information such as the clock and power management settings. To clear CMOS RAM, turn the power off and short 2-3 of JP1601 on the main board. To set the clock, use the BIOS Standard CMOS Features menu. Clock precision: ±100 seconds per month.

IR-700 Technical Reference Guide 24 hour-continuous operation Continuous operation cannot be recommended because it shortens the life of the product. When you must operate it continuously, stop the turning of the motor during the idle time by referring to “Appendix-B Operating the Product Continuously (24-hours/day).” Audio The mike input, stereo line out terminal, and monaural speaker are built in. Mike input, output from the system, and beep output from the system and MSR are available.

IR-700 Technical Reference Guide CAUTION: If connection is made directly from an outdoor, overhead LAN cable, the connected equipment may be damaged by lightning. When connecting to such a cable, the connection should be routed through a device to counter the surge; otherwise, do not use the connection. Dual Display On the IR-700, you can add an additional external monitor, besides the LCD, to display the same or different contents (such as an enlargement of the work area).

IR-700 Technical Reference Guide To dispose of the lithium battery, cover the terminals with tape or the like, and separate each battery. Do not put the battery together with metallic parts or other batteries. Overheating, fire, or explosion may result. Interface Serial Connectors The IR-700 has four NS16550-compatible serial ports (COM1, COM2, COM5, COM6). It has four outside connectors, however, COM5 and COM6 cannot be used by default. Assign COM5 and COM6 to interrupts not in use.
