Safety information

Electrical Safety

• Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system

unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

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

before relocating the system.

• When adding or removing any additional 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.

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

technician or your dealer.

Operation Safety

• Any mechanical operation on this server must be conducted by certied or experienced

engineers.

• Before operating the server, carefully read all the manuals included with the server

package.

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

are not damaged. If any damage is detected, contact your dealer as soon as possible.

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

slots, sockets and circuitry.

• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Place the server on a stable surface.

This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user’s safety. Use

the power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.

5.1 Managing and updating your BIOS

The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic Input/Output

System (BIOS) setup:

1. ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

 TorecovertheBIOSusingabootableUSBashdiskdrivewhentheBIOSlefailsor

gets corrupted.

2. ASUS EzFlash

 UpdatestheBIOSusingaUSBashdisk.

3. BUPDATER

 UpdatestheBIOSinDOSmodeusingabootableUSBashdiskdrive.

Refer to the corresponding sections for details on these utilities.

Recovering the BIOS from a USB flash drive

TorecovertheBIOSfromaUSBashdrive:

1. InserttheUSBashdrivewiththeoriginalorupdatedBIOSletooneUSBportonthe

system.

2. The utility will automatically recover the BIOS. It resets the system when the BIOS

recoverynished.

RAID Conguration

This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating, and

conguring RAID sets using the available utilities.

Chapter 6: RAID Conguration

6-2 Chapter 6: RAID Conguration

6.1 Setting up RAID

The motherboard comes with the Intel® C232 controller that supports Intel® Rapid Storage

Technology enterprise Option ROM Utility with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5

support (for both Windows® OS and Linux).

6.1.1 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 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.

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.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy

rst the RAID driver from the support DVD to a oppy disk before you install an operating

system to the selected hard disk drive.

ASUS RS100-E10-PI2 6-3

6.1.3 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS

You must set the RAID mode in the BIOS Setup to be able to launch the RAID utilities before

you can create a RAID set from the SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors

supported by Intel® C232 chipset.

To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the Advanced Menu > SATA Configuration, then press <Enter>.

3. Set SATA Mode to [RAID].

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

Refer to Chapter 5 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

6.1.4 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

enterprise SATA Option ROM Utility if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the

Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel® C232 chipset.

6.1.2 Installing hard disk drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set conguration. For optimal performance,

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

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

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system

user guide.

2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to

the SATA connector on the motherboard.

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

6-4 Chapter 6: RAID Conguration

6.2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA

Option ROM Utility

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 sections

6.1.2 Installing hard disk drives and 6.1.3 Setting the RAID mode in BIOS for more

information.
