28. Corp Half size CPU Card Appendix RAID Setup Page 195 IOWA MARK Half size CPU Card F 1 Introduction The ALi M5283 SATA RAID chipset can control parallel ATA PATA and serial ATA SATA disks The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1 disk drives The ALi M5283 also has a cost effective RAID functionality that can increase the data read write speed and provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives RAID 1 Ad CAUTION A configured RAID volume which may consist of multiple hard drives appears to an operating system as a contingent storage space The operating system will not be able to distinguish the physical disk drives contained in a RAID configuration F 1 1 Precautions One key benefit a RAID configuration brings is that a single hard drive can fail within a RAID array without damaging data With RAID1 array a failed drive can be replaced and the RAID configuration restored WARNING Irrecoverable data loss occurs if a working drive is removed when trying to remove a failed drive It is strongly recommended to mark the physical connections of all SATA disk drives Drive locations can be identified by attaching stickers to the drive bays If a drive member of a RAID array should fail the failed drive can then be correctly identified
