Intel Desktop Board DQ67EP Product Guide SATA RAID The Intel Q67 PCH supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) which enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels: • RAID 0 - data striping • RAID 1 - data mirroring • RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring • RAID 5 - distributed parity NOTE In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process. Intel® Rapid Recover Technology The board incorporates Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT). Intel RRT is a feature of Intel RST. Intel RRT 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. Expandability Intel Desktop Board DQ67EP provides the following expansion capability: • One PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface • One PCI Express Mini Card interface 20

SATA RAID
The Intel Q67 PCH supports Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology (Intel
®
RST) which
enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
•
RAID 0 - data striping
•
RAID 1 - data mirroring
•
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
•
RAID 5 - distributed parity
NOTE
In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also,
during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID
drivers.
See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about
installing drivers during installation.
Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft
Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the
need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system
installation process.
Intel
®
Rapid Recover Technology
The board incorporates Intel
®
Rapid Recover Technology (Intel
®
RRT).
Intel RRT is a
feature of Intel RST.
Intel RRT 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.
Expandability
Intel Desktop Board DQ67EP provides the following expansion capability:
•
One PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface
•
One PCI Express Mini Card interface
