Intel DQ35MP DQ35MP Specification Update - Page 7

Specification Changes Changes to the feature description in the board technical product specification. Typically the customer does not have to do anything to achieve proper device functionality as a result of the change. 1. Section 1.6.3.3 has been added to the Technical Specification. 1.6.3.3 Intel® Rapid Recover Technology The Intel® Desktop Board DQ35MP incorporates the Intel® Rapid Recover Technology. Intel Rapid Recover Technology is a feature of Intel® Matrix Storage Manager. It uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request. When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or offline are automatically copied to the recovery drive when it is reconnected. When using the on request update policy, the master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive. The table below provides an overview of the advantages, disadvantages, and the typical usage of Intel Rapid Recover Technology. Hard Drives Required Advantage Disadvantage Application 2 More control over how data is copied between master and recovery drives; fast volume updates (only changes to the master drive since the last update are copied to the recovery drive); member hard drive data can be viewed in Microsoft Windows* Explorer. No increase in volume capacity. Critical data protection; fast restoration of the master drive to a previous or default state. 2. The MTBF hours have been updated in Section 2.7 Reliability. 2.7 Reliability The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Bellcore Reliability Prediction Procedure, TR-NWT-000332, Issue 4, September 1991. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate repair rates and spare parts requirements. The MTBF data is calculated from predicted data at 55 ºC. The Desktop Board DQ35MP MTBF is 225,125 144,918 hours. Intel Desktop Board DQ35MP Specification Update 7
