5 72 Installing a new Windows XP (Vista) in a brand new RAID system. 1. Follow 5-1 to create a RAID driver diskette. (Windows Vista has in-box driver by its own and can skip this step). 2. Follow 5-2 to set BIOS setting "SA T A Mode" to RAID or AHCI.
5 73 RAID Conguration Introduction RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method for computer data storage schemes that divide and/or replicate data among multiple hard drives. RAID can be designed to provide increased data reliability (fault tolerance) or increased I/O (input/output) performance, or both.
5 74 RAID 0 (Stripe) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved among multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array . The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member .
5 75 Intel ® Matrix Storage Manager The Intel ® Matrix Storage Manager technology supports RAID 0 ,RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 (0+1) functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity , or data safety provided by different RAID functions.
5 76 1. Find a PC, put a diskette into its oppy drive A:, this diskette will be formatted later . Put the driver CD into DVD-ROM drive. 2. Depending on which platform your system is, normally , it is a 32-bit XP system. Use Windows explorer , and go to CD:Driver IntelRAIDFloppy32bit , click on Raid- T ool icon to start the creation.
5 77 9. Check if the diskette contains the driver les. Later , when in the process of installing Windows XP in your RAID system, it will ask you to use this oppy diskette to provide driver for additional specic devices, for example, a RAID device.
