Chapter 6. RAID

What is RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that provides increased storage functions and

reliability through redundancy. It also can improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared with

single-drive storage systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing

missing data from the remaining drives.

When a group of independent physical storage drives is set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID

array. This array distributes data across multiple storage drives, but the array appears to the host computer

as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the expedited

I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.

Select RAID mode

You can select the SATA RAID mode or NVMe RAID mode to configure RAID with RAIDXpert2 Configuration

Utility.

1. Do one of the following to select the SATA RAID mode or NVMe RAID mode:

• SATA RAID mode:

a. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.

b. Select Devices ➙ ATA Drive Setup ➙ Configure SATA as (AHCI/RAID).

c. Select RAID.

• NVMe RAID mode:

a. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.

b. Select Devices ➙ NVMe Setup ➙ NVMe RAID Mode (Enabled/Disabled).

c. Select Enabled.

2. Press F10 or Fn+F10 to save the changes and exit.

3. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.

4. Select Devices ➙ RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility to select drives and configure RAID.

RAID Levels

CAUTION:

• Only one redundant RAID array is supported by AMD-RAID. RAID1, RAID5, and RAID10 are all

redundant arrays.

• The AMD-RAID does not support more than eight arrays, including Non-RAID array.

• Multiple operating systems are not supported on AMD-RAID Array. If the system is booted from an

AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the Arrays section must be the bootable array. The

system boots only from the first array in the Arrays section. Refer to “Configure RAID with

RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility” on page 34 to find the first array by viewing array details and

checking the array number.

Your computer supports the following RAID levels:

• RAID 0: striped disk array

– Provide the highest performance but no data redundancy. Data in the array is striped (distributed)

across several disks.

– Support 2-8 disks.

– RAID 0 arrays are useful for holding information, such as the operating system paging file, where

performance is extremely important but redundancy is not.

• RAID 1: mirrored disk array

– Mirror data on a partition of one disk to another.

– Support 2 disks.

– RAID 1 arrays are useful when there are only two disks available and data integrity is more important

than storage capacity.

• RAID 5: block-level striped disk array with distributed parity

– Stripe data as well as parity, across all disks in the array.

– Support 3-8 disks.

– Offer exceptional read performance and redundancy.

• RAID 10: striped and mirrored disk array (a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1)

– Combine mirrors and stripe sets. RAID 10 allows multiple disk failures, up to 1 failure in each mirror that

has been striped.

– Support 4, 6, or 8 disks.

– Offer better performance than a simple mirror because of the extra disks. Require twice the disk space

of RAID 1 to offer redundancy.

• Volume (JBOD):

– RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility treats one or more disks or the unused space on a disk as a single

array.

– Support 1-8 disks.

– Provide the ability to link-together storage from one or several disks, regardless of the size of the space

on those disks. It is useful in scavenging space on disks unused by other disks in the array. It does not

provide performance benefits or data redundancy. Disk failure will result in data loss.

• RAIDABLE (also known as RAID Ready):

– Allow a RAIDABLE disk to be transformed later to RAID 0 or RAID 1.

– Support 1 disk.

Configure RAID with RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility

If your computer comes with the RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility , you can follow the sections below to

configure RAID.

Initialize disks

New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an AMD-RAID array.

Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata) to a disk.

CAUTION:

• If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization. To initialize the

disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted during initialization so ensure

the correct disks are chosen to initialize.

• A legacy disk can contain valid data. When a legacy array is deleted, all data on the disk is lost.

Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and effective. However, personal

computers are electronic devices. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential

safety risks that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks,

follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating

instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the

information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from

hazards and create a safer computer work environment. If the computer is used in a manner not specified by

the manufacturer, the protection provided by the computer may be impaired.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In addition, some products

(such as speakers and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this

information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a coin-sized internal battery that

provides power to the system clock even when the computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information

applies to all computer products.

Conditions that require immediate action

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough

that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an

authorized servicer.

As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on.

On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your

product. You might also hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. These might merely mean that

an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a

potential safety issue. Do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the

Customer Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone numbers, see

the following Web site:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/supportphonelist

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, wear, or signs of danger. If you

have any question about the condition of a component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer

Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and have it

repaired, if necessary.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you have any safety concerns

with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and

telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power supplies that are

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or

your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred

to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer

Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or

replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a

product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always ensure

that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any

questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in the computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the

enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer, disconnect power, and

wait approximately 10 minutes for the components to cool.

106 P620 User Guide

After replacing a CRU, reinstall all protective covers, including the computer cover, before connecting power

and operating the computer. This action is important to help prevent unexpected electrical shock and help

ensure the containment of an unexpected fire that could happen under extremely rare conditions.

Sharp Edges:

When replacing CRUs, be cautious of sharp edges or corners that might cause injury. If you suffer an injury,

seek medical care immediately.

Power cords and power adapters

DANGER

Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.

The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or

better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used accordingly.

Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in

ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.

Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.

Protect power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your power cord

or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids

can cause a short circuit, particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been stressed by

misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector

terminals on a power adapter, which can eventually result in overheating.

Ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.

Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins or shows signs of

overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input pins or anywhere on the power adapter.

Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or

overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.

To prevent possible overheating, do not cover the power adapter with clothing or other objects

when the power adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Power cord notice

Battery recycling information for the European Union

Notice: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU).

Batteries or packaging for batteries are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2006/66/EC

concerning batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. The Directive determines the

framework for the return and recycling of used batteries and accumulators as applicable throughout the

European Union. This label is applied to various batteries to indicate that the battery is not to be thrown

away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.

In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and accumulators are labeled to indicate

that they are to be collected separately and recycled at end of life. The label on the battery may also include

a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery (Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium).

Users of batteries and accumulators must not dispose of batteries and accumulators as unsorted municipal

waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return, recycling, and treatment of

batteries and accumulators. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of batteries

and accumulators on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous

substances.

Before placing electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in the waste collection stream or in waste collection

facilities, the end user of equipment containing batteries and/or accumulators must remove those batteries

and accumulators for separate collection.
