Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Before You Start
Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:
• Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting.
• Always disconnect the computer from power outlet before operation.
- Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.
- Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
- Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.
- Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air and water.
- The operating temperatures of the computer should be 0 to 45 degrees Celsius.
- To avoid injury, be careful of: Sharp pins on headers and connectors Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

4.2 RAID Functions
RAID Definitions

A --> D["Block 3"]
A --> E["Block 4"]
A --> F["Block 5"]
A --> G["Disk 1"]
A --> H["Disk 2"]
In a RAID 0 system data are split up in blocks that get written across all the drives in the array. By using multiple disks (at least 2) at the same time, this offers superior I/O performance. This performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers, ideally one controller per disk.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the platform.
- Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any environment that does not require fault tolerance.
- Benefits: provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No capacity loss penalty for parity.
- Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array fails, all data is lost.
- Fault Tolerance: No.
• Total Capacity: (Minimal. HDD Capacity) x (Connected HDDs Amount)

flowchart
graph TD
A["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3\nDisk 1"] --> B["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3"]
C["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3\nDisk 2"] --> D["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3"]
E["RAID 1 mirroring"] --> F["Block 1\nBlock 2\nBlock 3"]
Data are stored twice by writing them to both the data disk (or set of data disks) and a mirror disk (or set of disks). If a disk fails, the controller uses either the data drive or the mirror drive for data recovery and continues operation. You need at least 2 disks for a RAID 1 array.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
- Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.
- Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the controller switches to the other drive.
- Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive. Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.
RAID 10 (1+0)

flowchart
graph TD
A["Block 1\nBlock 3\nBlock 5\nDisk 1"] --> B["Block 1\nBlock 3\nBlock 5"]
C["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6\nDisk 3"] --> D["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6"]
E["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6"] --> F["Block 2\nBlock 4\nBlock 6"]
RAID 10 combines the advantages (and disadvantages) of RAID 0 and RAID 1 in one single system. It provides security by mirroring all data on a secondary set of disks (disk 3 and 4 in the drawing below) while using striping across each set of disks to speed up data transfers.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.
- Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels in an array, and allows for spare disks.
- Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy, the same as RAID level 1.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.
RAID 5
parity across disks

A RAID 5 array can withstand a single disk failure without losing data or access to data. Although RAID 5 can be achieved in software, a hardware controller is recommended. Often extra cache memory is used on these controllers to improve the write performance.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 3.
- Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and general purpose service.
- Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good fault tolerance, and high capacity and storage efficiency.
- Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk. Write performance can be CPU intensive.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.
