PCISA-LX CPU Card

E.1 Introduction

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.

E.1.1 Precautions

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.

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).

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.
