ssociating Screen Drive Names with Physical Drives on the Board
This section explains how to associate the drives listed on the “Define a New Array” screen with
the physical drives attached to the connectors on the mainboard. This becomes important when
identifying drives that need to be replaced or changed.
nnel, Controller, Master/Slave
Located here are 3 identifiers separated by periods. These identifiers represent the Channel,
Controller, and Master/Slave ID for a drive. With these identifiers, you can associate the drives
on this screen with a physical connector and drive on the board.
Channel 0 – Represents one of the PATA connectors
Channel 1 – Represents one of the SATA connectors
Controller 0 – 1st connector (e.g. PATA1 or SATA1)
Controller 1 – 2nd connector (e.g. PATA2 or SATA2)
Master/Slave – SATA drives will always be Master drives since an SATA connector can only
support 1 drive. PATA connectors can support a Master and a Slave drive.
Examples:
On a board with 4 connectors (PATA1, PATA2, SATA1, SATA2), the following applies:
0.0.M = PATA1 (master drive)
0.0.S = PATA1 (slave drive)
0.1.M = PATA2 (master drive)
0.1.S = PATA2 (slave drive)
1.0.M = SATA1
1.1.M = SATA2
reating New RAID Array
The first screen you will see upon initial configuration is the “Define New Array” screen. First,
tab over to the “RAIDMode” text box and press <Enter>. The pop up menu will display as shown
below. According to your configuration requirements, select the RAID mode such as “Mirroring”
(RAID 1), “Striping” (RAID 0), “Striping Mirroring“ (RAID 0+1), etc. of what you need. Then press
<Enter>.
Attention
The “Loc” and “Disk Model Name”, located on this screen reflect the disk
drives installed on the PATA or SATA connectors. The example disk drive
information may differ with the information that displays on your screen.
