3-2 Chapter 3: Powering Up

3.1 Startingupforthersttime

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.

2. Be sure that all switches are off.

3. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.

4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

5. Turn on the devices in the following order:

a. Monitor

b. External storage devices (starting with the last device on the chain)

c. System power

6. After applying power, the system power LED on the system front panel case lights up.

For systems with ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the

ATX power button. If your monitor complies with “green” standards or if it has a “power

standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green

after the system LED turns on.

The system then runs the power-on self-test or POST. While the tests are running, the

BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything

within 30 seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed

a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for

assistance.

The following shows the possible beep codes and its corresponding error condition

RAID Conguration

This chapter provides instructions for setting up, creating,

and conguring RAID sets using the available utilities.

Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

5-2 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

5.1 Setting up RAID

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

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

5.1.1 RAIDdenitions

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.

5-3

Z11PA-D8 Series

5.1.3 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 Advanced Menu > PCHSATAConguration, then press <Enter>.

3. Set SATA Mode to [RAID Mode].

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

Refer to Chapter 4 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS Setup.

5.1.4 RAIDconguration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.

5.1.2 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.

5-4 Chapter 5: RAID Conguration

5.2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise

SATA/SSATA Option ROM Utility

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise SATA/SSATA 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/SSATA 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 Serial

ATA hard disks, and Setting the RAID item in BIOS sections in this manual for more

information.
