Safety information

Electrical safety

• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet

before relocating the system.

• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables

for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,

disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all

power cables are unplugged.

• Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices

could interrupt the grounding circuit.

• Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not

sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power

company.

• If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied service

technician or your retailer.

Operation safety

• Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the

manuals that came with the package.

• Before using the product, ensure all cables are correctly connected and the power

cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.

• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,

slots, sockets and circuitry.

• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area

where it may become wet.

• Place the product on a stable surface.

• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualied service

technician or your retailer.

RAID Support

4.1 RAID configurations

The motherboard supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility

with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support.

If you want to install a Windows® operating system to a hard disk drive included in a RAID

set, you have to create a RAID driver disk and load the RAID driver during OS installation.

Refer to section 4.2.1 Creating a RAID set for details.

4.1.1 RAID definitions

RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in

parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a

sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access

and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.

RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to

a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications

to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID

conguration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system.

Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive

must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive.

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives.

Among the advantages of RAID 5 conguration include better HDD performance, fault

tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 conguration is best suited for

transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and

other business systems. Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.

RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data)

having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 conguration you get all the benets

of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing

drive and three new drives for this setup.

Chapter 4: RAID Support

4-2 Chapter 4: RAID Congurations

Chapter 4

4.1.2 Installing Serial ATA hard disks

The motherboard supports Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install

identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install the SATA hard disks for a RAID conguration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays.

2. Connect the SATA signal cables.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

4.1.3 Setting the RAID item in BIOS

You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA

hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by Intel® C621 chipset.

To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the Platform Configuration menu > PCH Configuration menu > PCH SATA

Configuration, then press <Enter>.

3. Set Configure SATA as to [RAID Mode].

4. Press <F10> to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 3 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

4.1.4 RAID configuration utilities

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the

utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the Intel® Rapid Storage

Technology if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors

supported by the Intel® C621 chipset.

Refer to the succeeding section for details on how to use the RAID conguration utility.

ASUS Pro WS C621-64L SAGE Series 4-3

Chapter 4

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility allows you to

create RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 (RAID 1+0), and RAID 5 set from Serial ATA hard disk

drives that are connected to the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge.

The navigation keys at the bottom of the screen allow you to move through the menus

and select the menu options.

The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not

exactly match the items on your screen.

To launch the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA Option ROM utility:

1. Turn on the system.

2. During POST, press <Ctrl>+<I> to display the utility main menu.

Before you proceed, ensure that you have installed the Serial ATA hard disk drives, and

have set the correct SATA mode in the BIOS setup. You can refer to the Installing hard

disk drives, and Setting the RAID mode sections in this manual for more information.

4.2.3 Resetting disks to Non-RAID

Take caution before you reset a RAID volume hard disk drive to non-RAID. Resetting a

RAID volume hard disk drive deletes all internal RAID structure on the drive.

To reset a RAID set:

1. From the utility main menu, select 3. Reset Disks to Non-RAID and press <Enter>.

2. Press the up/down arrow keys to select the drive(s) or disks of the RAID set you want

to reset, then press <Space>. A small triangle before the Port number marks the

selected drive. Press <Enter> when you are done.

3. Press <Y> in the conrmation window to reset the drive(s) or press <N> to return to

the utility main menu.

Rebuilding the RAID with other non-RAID disk

If any of the SATA hard disk drives included in the RAID 1 array failed, the system displays

the status of the RAID volume as “Degraded” during POST. You can rebuild the RAID array

with other installed non-RAID disks.

To rebuild the RAID with other non-RAID disk:

1. During POST, press <Ctrl>+<I> at the prompt to enter the Intel Rapid Storage

Technology option ROM utility.

2. If there is a non-RAID SATA Hard Disk available, the utility will prompt you to rebuild

the RAID. Press the up/down arrow keys to select the destination disk then press

<Enter> to start the rebuilding process, or press <ESC> to exit.
