RAID Features Note: Enable Write Back Cache will improve the RAID logical drive performance but may cause unwritten cached data loss if power is lost. Intel Corporation strongly recommends using an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). 2.5.30 Volume Cache Increase Intel® RSTe will increase the volume cache size to 16MB for SCU volumes and 16MB for AHCI volumes. 2.5.31 RAID Volume Size Intel® RSTe will provide support for RAID volumes that are larger than 2 Terabytes. 2.5.32 RAID Boot Volume Size Intel® RSTe will provide support for RAID Boot volumes that are larger than 2 Terabytes. 2.5.33 Disk Monitor Service Intel® RSTe will support the ability to provide a disk monitoring service. The service will be active by default and executed as a system service. The service will monitor the system for SMART and RAID volume state changes events. The changes will be logged in the system log. 2.5.34 Failed Drive Reinsertion Intel® RSTe will support the ability to recognize a failed drive re-inserted into the array. If able, Intel® RSTe will attempt to rebuild the volume to that drive. If not able, Intel® RSTe will mark the drive accordingly in the GUI. 2.5.35 Drives Supported Intel® RSTe will provide support for current production SATA drives from "any" manufacturer on the AHCI controller. There will also be support for drives that are larger than 2 Terabytes as well as drives that support 4KB physical (512B logical) sectors. Note: To select hard drives for Intel® Server Chassis and Intel® Server System, please use the Server Configurator tool available at http://serverconfigurator.intel.com/default.aspx. 2.5.36 Safe Mode Support Intel® RSTe will provide support for booting into Safe Mode for all supported OSs. 2.5.37 Non-Intel Controller Support Intel® RSTe will not hinder, break or prevent operation of non-Intel® Controllers (SATA, PATA, SATA or RAID). 2.5.38 Device Configuration Intel® RSTe will support the ability, at initialization, to read the system registry to get configuration setting in order to set the appropriate operational parameters. 12 Intel® RSTe User's Guide
