CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Special Notice:

Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation

for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the

empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

Pin Cap

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise

the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on

CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will

fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 2-1:

Step 2-2:

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked

position to complete the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into

the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS

4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM

Supports Windows XP Home/Professional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.

4.2 RAID ARRAYS

RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for

many applications.

RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.

4.3 HOW RAID WORKS

RAID 0:

The controller “ stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks

up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple

drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,

which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This

technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the

platform.

 Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any

environment that does not require fault tolerance.

 Benefits: provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No

capacity loss penalty for parity.

 Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array

fails, all data is lost.

 Fault Tolerance: No.

Block 1

Block 3

Block 5

Block 2

Block 4

Block 6

Motherboard Manual

20

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1

array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on

a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if

the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware

failure.

RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of

automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less

reliable media.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.

 Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that

requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.

 Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the

controller switches to the other drive.

 Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.

Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.
