Intel RAID This appendix will assist s in configuring and enabling RAID functionality and accelerating system on platforms

Intel RAID

Introduction The mainboard comes with the Intel RAID controller that allows you to configure SATA hard drives as RAID sets. SATA hard drives deliver blistering transfer speeds up to 6 Gb/s. Serial ATA uses long, thin cables, making it easier to connect your drive and improving the airflow inside your PC. The most outstanding features are: 1. s 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s transfers with CRC error checking. 2. s Hot-plug-n-play feature. 3. Data handling optimizations including tagged command queuing, elevator seek and packet chain command. Intel® RAID controller offers RAID level 0 (Striping), RAID level 1 (Mirroring and Duplexing), RAID level 5 (Block Interleaved Distributed Parity), RAID level 10 (A Stripe of Mirrors) , Intel® Rapid Storage Technology. RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance. RAID 5 Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance. Level 5 is one of the most popular implementations of RAID. RAID 10 Not one of the original RAID levels, multiple RAID 1 mirrors are created, and a RAID 0 stripe is created over these. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology is the advanced ability for two RAID volumes to share the combined space of two hard drives being used in unison. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology utilizes RAID 1 functionality to copy data from a designated Master drive to a designated Recovery drive. The size of the Master drive must be less than or equal to the size of the Recovery drive. When a Recovery volume is created, complete capacity of the Master drive will be used as the Master volume. Only one Recovery Volume can exist on a system. There are 2 methods of updating the data on the Master to the Recovery drive. They are Continuous Update Policy and On Request Update Policy.

Important The least number of hard drives for RAID 0, RAID 1, Recovery or Matrix mode is 2. The least number of hard drives for RAID 10 mode is 4. And the least number of hard drives for RAID 5 mode is 3. All the information/ volumes/ pictures listed in your system might differ from the illustrations in this appendix.

Please use + keys to enter the “Intel® RAID for Serial ATA” status screen, which should appear early in system boot-up, during the POST (PowerOn Self Test). Also, you need to enable the RAID function in BIOS to create, delete and reset RAID volumes. Creating, Deleting and Resetting RAID Volumes: The Serial ATA RAID volume may be configured using the RAID Configuration utility stored within the Intel RAID Option ROM.

Important Since you want to create two volumes, this default size (maximum) needs to be reduced. Type in a new size for the first volume. As an example: if you want the first volume to span the first half of the two disks, re-type the size to be half of what is shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically span the remainder of two hard drives.

When you start installing Windows XP, you may encounter a message stating, “Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage devices installed in your system”. If this is the case, then you are already in the right place and are ready to supply the driver. If this is not the case, then press F6 when prompted at the beginning of Windows setup. 2. Press the “S” key to select “Specify Additional Device”. 3. You should be prompted to insert a floppy disk containing the Intel® RAID driver into the A: drive. Note: For Windows XP, you can use the USB floppy drive only. For Windows 7 you can use CD/ DVD/ USB drive.

Important Please follow the instruction below to make an “Intel® RAID Driver” for yourself. • Insert the MSI DVD into the DVD-ROM drive. • Click the “Browse CD” on the Setup screen. • Copy all the contents in \\Storage\Intel\PCH\f6flpy-x86 or f6flpy-x64 to a formatted floppy diskette. • The driver diskette for Intel® RAID Controller is done. 4. For Windows 7: During the Operating system installation, after selecting the location to install Windows 7 click on “Load Driver” button to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver. 5. When prompted, insert the floppy disk or media (CD/DVD or USB) you created in step 3 and press Enter. 6. You should be shown a list of available SCSI Adapters. 7. Select the appropriate Intel RAID controller and press ENTER. 8. The next screen should confirm that you have selected the Intel® RAID controller. Press ENTER again to continue. 9. You have successfully installed the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver, and Windows setup should continue. 10. Leave the disk in the floppy drive until the system reboots itself.

Degraded RAID Array A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as degraded when one of its hard drive fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring is lost. As a result, the system can only utilize the remaining functional hard drive member. To re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedure below that corresponds to the current situation. Missing Hard Drive Member 1. Make sure the system is powered off. 2. Reconnect the hard drive. 3. Reboot the system to Windows; the rebuild will occur automatically. Failed Hard Drive Member 1. Make sure the system is powered off. 2. Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater capacity. 3.

System Acceleration (optional) Intel® Rapid Storage Technology use a SSD as a cache. Which can store frequently used data without having to use a slow virtual disk or depend on RAM. The SSD cache with the advantages of high-speed read/write and non-volatile memory to accelerate the system performance.

Important Check your SSD manufacturer's website, upgrade firmware in order to Intel® Rapid Storage Technology. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology can only work with RAID mode. Even though there is only one hard drive, you must set the SATA Mode to RAID in BIOS. The OS must be installed in the RAID ready disk in order to use the SSD caching. Follow these steps to enable system acceleration. If Windows has been installed in RAID mode, skip to the step 5. 1. Reboot and enter the BIOS steup. 2. Set the SATA Mode to RAID in BIOS. 3. Install Intel® RAID controller driver. Please refer to the section "Installing Driver". 4. Install Windows operating system. 5. Powered off. 6. Connect the SSD. 7. Reboot the system to Windows.

Intel SBA

Prerequisites ■ ed Operating Systems Intel SBA s following OS: ■ Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and 32-bit ■ Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit ■ Required Permissions You must run the installer and the customization wizard with a that has local permissions on the computer. ■ Windows Update Settings In certain conditions, the Windows Update task in the PC Health Center application is disabled and cannot be enabled. This can occur if Intel SBA is installed on a computer where Windows Update was disabled during installation of the Windows operating system. The Windows Update task is shown in the GUI but is grayed out (disabled). Even if the end enables Windows Update in the operating system, the PC Health Center task cannot be enabled. This means that the end cannot use PC Health Center to manage Windows Update. To prevent this, make sure that you do NOT select the Never check for updates option when installing the Windows operating system. ■ Windows Task Scheduler Some PC Health Center tasks are applications that can also be used directly from the operating system and scheduled via the Windows Task Scheduler. When a task is set via PC Health Center, an alarm clock is set that will wake up the computer if it is turned off. Defining a scheduled time for an application/task outside of PC Health Center does not set an alarm clock. This means that the computer will not be woken up to do the task. For this reason, it is NOT recommended to define schedules for these applications: ■ Windows Updates ■ Windows Backup and Restore ■ Disk defragmentation Instead, let the end set the schedule for all these tasks via PC Health Center.
