GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller USER'S MANUAL RAID 0+1 is implemented as a mirrored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays. SPAN (JBOD): There isn't any specific limitation. Normal: If a hard drive is not included in an array (Column "Assignment" in the View Drive Assignment is shown "Free"), this hard drive is regarded as a normal drive. The existence of the normal hard drive sometimes will influence the array number user specified. If the Pri/D0, Pri/D1, Sec/D0 or Sec/D1 hard drive is a normal drive, array 0, 1, 2 or 3 cannot have the array setting respectively. However, you do not have to concern about this limitation. If Setup Utility finds any conflicts, Array No will be adjusted automatically. After finishing setting the array, go back to the Define RAID Menu on page 22 then you will find the Array No is changed. This is because the existence of the normal hard drive(s) causes the Array No to be adjusted automatically. When you press "Ctrl-Y" keys to save your change and your settings checked by Setup Utility are correct, the following window will appear. You can choose to clear the boot sector for the newly created array or not. If your RAID Mode is neither Mirror nor Stripe + Mirror, this array setting is finished then you can click the "Esc" key to go back to the Define RAID Menu on page 22. 25

GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller USER’S MANUAL
25
RAID 0+1 is implemented as a mirrored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays.
SPAN (JBOD): There isn’t any specific limitation.
Normal: If a hard drive is not included in an array (Column “Assignment” in the View
Drive Assignment
is shown “Free”), this hard drive is regarded as a normal drive.
The existence of the normal hard drive sometimes will influence the array number
user specified. If the Pri/D0, Pri/D1, Sec/D0 or Sec/D1 hard drive is a normal drive,
array 0, 1, 2 or 3 cannot have the array setting respectively. However, you do not
have to concern about this limitation. If Setup Utility finds any conflicts, Array No will
be adjusted automatically. After finishing setting the array, go back to the
Define
RAID Menu
on page 22 then you will find the Array No is changed. This is because
the existence of the normal hard drive(s) causes the Array No to be adjusted
automatically.
When you press “Ctrl-Y” keys to save your change and your settings checked by
Setup Utility are correct, the following window will appear. You can choose to clear
the boot sector for the newly created array or not. If your RAID Mode is neither Mirror
nor Stripe + Mirror, this array setting is finished then you can click the “Esc” key to go
back to the
Define RAID Menu
on page 22.
