InTRoDuCTIon
Before you install this card, it’s recommended that you become familiar with the
contents of the SATA RAID 5 manual on the enclosed driver CD, in the folder:
\SATAPCIe_Raid5_2Port\SiI3132\Windows\Gui(or\Raid5SATA2_4Port\SiI3124\
Windows\Gui).ThisRAID manual has more information about RAID architecture,
features, installation and settings, plus management software for RAID 5 GUI
(graphical user interface).
After driver installation, if desired, install SATA RAID 5 GUI for RAID management.
First,however,removeanyexisting—andpossibilyconicting—SATARAID GUI
(orJavaSATARAID GUI) to ensure your new SATA RAID 5 GUI can work properly:
\Start\Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs\Select all SATARaid\Remove.
RAID sets can be created and managed by either the BIOS utility setting or the
SATARAID5GUIsettingunderWindows.ForRAIDbuilding,theBIOSutility
allowsrandomcreation;GUIjustsupportsthebuildingbysequentialSATAPort1,
Port2, etc.
What Is RAID?
Thebriefdenitionsbelowpresentthebasicconcept:Asmentionedabove,
furtherdetailsareavailableontheRAID-specicmanualontheenclosedCD.
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)
RAID technology manages multiple disk drives to enhance I/O performance and
provide redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member
without loss of data.
Disk Striping (RAID 0)
Stripingisaperformance-oriented,non-redundantdatamappingtechnique.While
Striping is discussed as a RAID set type, it is actually does not provide fault
tolerance.WithmodernSATAbusmasteringtechnology,multipleI/Ooperations
can be done in parallel, enhancing performance. Striping arrays use multiple
disks to form a larger virtual disk.
Disk Mirroring (RAID 1)
Disk mirroring creates an identical twin for a selected disk by having the data
simultaneously written to two disks. This redundancy provides instantaneous
protection from a single disk failure. If a read failure occurs on one drive, the
system reads the data from the other drive.

4
Mirrored-Striping (RAID 0+1, or RAID 10)
A Mirrored-Striping Set does just what it says, combining both Striping and Mirroring
technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from
StripingandthedataavailabilityandintegritythatcomefromMirroring.When
data is written to a Mirrored-Striped set, instead of creating just one virtual disk as
Striping would do, a second, Mirrored virtual disk is created, as well.
Parity RAID (RAID 0)
Parity, or RAID 5, adds fault tolerance to Disk Striping by including parity information
with the data. Parity RAID dedicates the equivalent of one disk for storing parity
stripes. The data and parity information is arranged on the disk array so that parity
is written to different disks. There are at least three members in a Parity RAID set.
The following example illustrates how the parity is rotated from disk to disk.
Parity RAID uses less capacity for protection and is the preferred method to reduce
the cost per megabyte for larger installations. Mirroring requires a 100 percent
increase in capacity to protect the data, whereas the above example requires only
a 50 percent increase. The required capacity decreases as the number of disks in
the group increases.
Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD, or Contiguous)
TheJBODhere(alsoknownasContiguous)meansalogicaldrivethatcanbe
eitheranentirediskdriveorasegmentofasinglediskdrive.Forthiscard,the
JBODfunctiononlysupportsonedisk.JBODhereisaContiguousconguration
option in “Create RAID Group” in SATA RAID5 Manager Utility.
CARD InSTAllATIon
1. Power down the computer system.
2. Insert the card into an available bus slot.
3. Power the system back on.
 4.Installthedriver(seeDriverInstallation).
 5.RemovealltheexistingSATARAIDGUI(orJavaSATARAIDGUI)toensure
 thenewSATARAID5GUIcanworkproperly(withoutpossibleconicts).
6. Install the new SATA RAID5 GUI.
7. Power down the computer system again.
 8.ConnectharddrivestoSATAports.
9. Power the system back on.
10.IfyouconnecttheusedHDDstoSATAports,press<CTRL>+<S>or<F4>,
then delete the Raid setting on every used HDD when BIOS booting.
11. Use SATA RAID5 Manager GUI for the creation of a RAID Group.
 • If1disk,selectthe“MakePass-Thru”optionintheDevicemenu,or

5
the “Concatenate” or “Contiguous” option in the Create RAID Group menu.
 • If2disks,don’tselectthe“ParityRAID”or“MirroredStriped”setting.
 • If3disks,don’tselectthe“MirroredStriped”setting.
12.Click“TaskManager”tomakesureRAIDsettingiscomplete.WithRAID5
setting, it can be hours before a component is ready and functions are
available, so schedule accordingly.
13. Use Device Manager for hard disk initialization, partitioning and formatting.
bIoS SETTInG (RAID SETTInG)
Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System). During bootup, the RAID setting message will appear and pause for a
few moments to allow the user to choose what to do. This board will act as a
normalnon-RAIDcardwhenBIOSisn’tconguredforRAID:Justproceedtothe
Driver Installation section. If you use a traditional parallel ATA HDD, make sure
your hard drives are set up as Master mode before the RAID setting.
Creating Striped Sets (RAID 0)
1.AsBIOSboots,press<CTRL>+<S>or<F4>toentertheRAIDBIOSutility.

Creating a Spare Drive
1.AsBIOSboots,press<CTRL>+<S>or<F4>toentertheRAIDBIOSutility.
2. Select “Create RAID set.” Press <Enter>.
3. Select “Spare Drive.” Press <Enter>.

2. Select “Create RAID set.” Press <Enter>.
3. Press <Y> to remove the RAID set. If the RAID set being deleted is a Striped
set, then all of the data will be lost. If the set being deleted is a Mirrored set,
then the data will remain intact and accessible on both drives.
Rebuilding Mirrored Sets (RAID 1)
1. After replacing the failed hard drives, boot up BIOS, then press <CTRL>+<S>
  or<F4>toentertheRAIDBIOSutility.

Resolving Conict
WhenaRAIDsetiscreated,themetadatawrittentothediskincludesdrive
connection information (Primary and Secondary). If, after a disk failure, the
replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system),
itmayhaveconictingmetadata,specicallyinreferencetothedriveconnection
information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt.
InorderfortheRAIDsettofunctionproperly,thisoldmetadatamustrstbe
overwrittenwiththenewmetadata.Toresolvethis,select“ResolveConicts”:The
correct metadata, including the correct drive connection information, will be written
to the replacement disk.
