3.4 Onboard Jumpers NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a Figure 3-25 Jumper jumper. The ROCKY-3786EV CPU Board has four onboard jumpers. See Table 3-3.

E.1 Introduction The ALi M5283 SATA RAID chipset can control parallel ATA (PATA) and serial ATA (SATA) disks. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also has a cost-effective RAID functionality that can increase the data read/write speed and provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID 1).

E.2 Features and Benefits Supports RAID levels 0, 1, and JBOD Supports connectivity to two disk drives Supported Operating Systems include: Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP Windows-based software for RAID management E.3 Accessing the ALi RAID Utility To access the Ali RAID Utility, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Connect SATA drives to the system. Connect two SATA drives to the system.

Before configuring the array select the “Delete All RAID Setting & Partition”. Figure E-2: RAID BIOS Setup Utility Step 7: Configure the RAID settings. Use the RAID BIOS Setup Utility in Figure E-2 to configure the RAID array. Brief descriptions are given below. Step 8: Install the OS.

All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration are destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives. Step 1: Select “Create RAID 0 Striping for Performance”.

mixing PATA and SATA disk drives in a RAID 0 array. 2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. The excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array. E.4.2 Create RAID 1 Mirroring for Reliability WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration is destroyed during the RAID initialization process.

Upper and lower case alphabetic, numeric, space, and underscore characters are all applicable for naming an array Step 5: View the array. A prompt appears to proceed with drive copy. The Source and Destination drives are indicated as “M” and “m” in the Drive Menu. Step 0: NOTE: 1.

E.4.3 Create JBOD for Integrated Capacity JBOD is defined as “Just a Bunch of Drives.” JBOD provides neither performance gains nor data redundancy. WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration is destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives. Step 1: Select “Create JBOD for Integrated Capacity”.

ROCKY-3786EV CPU Card E.4.4 Stripe Size Changing the stripe size effects RAID 0 arrays. Configurable options are: 64K (default) 32K 16K 8K 4K Select a small stripe size if the I/Os to the hard drives are small and occur randomly. Choose a larger stripe size if the I/Os are mostly large and come in sequential orders, e.g., A/V playback and editing applications. The default value should be appropriate for most applications.

Step 1: Delete RAID Settings. Use the arrow keys to highlight Delete All RAID Setting & Partition and press ENTER. Step 2: Confirm delete. The Data on RAID drives will be erased (Y/N) confirm box appears. Press Y. Step 0: E.4.7 Rebuild RAID Array The Rebuild RAID Array option can rebuild a RAID array if a member of a RAID configuration should fail. Neither RAID 0 nor JBOD provides data redundancy.
