Resumen del manual
Before controller card installation, we recommend the users to study this manual and the PDF file of SATARaid5 Manual at enclosed CD folder\SATA PCIe_Raid5_2Port\SiI3132\Windows\ Gui ( or\Raid5 SATA2_4Port\SiI3124\ Windows\Gui ) first. This Raid manual has more information on Raid architecture, Raid features, Raid installation, Raid setting and Management software for Raid5 GUI (Graphical User Interface). 2. Windows Device Manager can NOT recognize the hard drives that without correct RAID setting before. 3. The working data on your existing HDD may NOT work when you migrate it to RAID Host Card. 4. After driver installation, if you like, you can install SATARaid5 GUI for Raid management. Before SATARaid5 GUI installation, you must remove all the existing SATARaid GUI (or Java SATARaid GUI) to ensure your new SATARaid5 GUI can work properly. i.e. : (\Start\Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs\Select all SATARaid \Remove) 5. Raid sets can be created and managed by either the BIOS utility setting or the SATARAID5 GUI setting under Windows. 6. For RAID creating, BIOS utility allow the random creating but GUI just supports the building by sequential SATA Port1, Port2, Port3 …….. 7. If you use the used HDD to Raid5 card, you must perform the "Delete Raid Set" on BIOS setting, since your used HDD has some system data and Raid5 card may confuse on that and no recognition. 8. RAID5 setting may cost hours for component ready and function available, please be patient for that. Especially if Raid5 setting by BIOS, please Click “Task Manager” to make sure Raid setting is completed. It shall be “Green” color on the selected components. 9. The “Rebuilding” function on Raid 1 or Raid 10 may spend long hours for component ready and function available, please be patient for that. 10. Raid 0 and Raid1 need at least 2 drives, and Raid10 4 drives and Raid5 3 drives at least. If 1 drive only, make sure to have “Concatenate” or “Contiguous” setting. RC211 Installation Instruction 1. Introduction This Low Profile PCI-Express Host Adapter is a controller board to support Low profile PCI and regular size PCI both in one card. The card can upgrade your desktop computer to have 2 ports Serial ATA II transfer rate of 3 Gb/s (300 MB/s). The board can be used to upgrade your desktop computer to have 2Ports Serial ATA Channels and support RAID 5, RAID 0+1, RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD features. It accepts host commands through the PCI Express bus, processes them and transfers data between the host and Serial ATA devices. The board should be connected to SATA target device and will take the data, serialize it and output it for transmission over the SATA interface. The board can control four independent Serial ATA channels. Each channel has its own Serial ATA bus and will support one Serial ATA device. The board supports Serial ATA Generation 1 & Generation 2 transfer rate of 1.5 Gbps / 3Gbps. It comes completely with drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003. RAID, Redundant Array of Independent Disks, greatly enhances two main areas of data storage: performance and data integrity. By using RAID 0, also known as Striping, performance of sustained data transfer rates is greatly enhanced by simultaneously writing data to 2, 3 or 4 drives. The second benefit of RAID is data redundancy. RAID 1, Mirroring, writes identical data on two drives or sets of drives, thus protecting the data from a disk failure. If, for any reason, one drive were to fail, your data is secure and available from the mirrored second drive. 1.1. Features 1. External SATA II (eSATA) Connector. 2. 48 bits LBA can Break Capacity-Limit to Support HDD larger than 137GB. 3. Supports 1-lane 2.5Gbps PCI Express. 4. Hot-plug capability. 5. Supports SATA II transfer rate of 3.0Gbps. 6. Fully compliant with Serial ATA 1.0 specifications. 7. Supports two independent Serial ATA channels. 8. Independent Link, Transport, and data FIFO. 9. Independent command fetch, scatter/gather, and command execution. 10. Supports Legacy Command Queuing (LCQ). 11. Supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ). 12. Supports Non-zero offsets NCQ. 13. Supports Out of order data delivery NCQ. RC211 Installation Instruction 14. Supports FIS-based switching with Port Multipliers. 15. Commands and Scatter/Gather Tables per Port. 16. Two Pin headers on board for LED connection. 17. Completely with drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. 18. Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 drives. 19. Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives. 20. RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring. 1.2.
