CHAPTER 4: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTIONS
4.1 OPERATION SYSTEM
Supports Windows XP Home/Professional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.
4.2 RAID ARRAYS
NVRAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Spanning (JBOD): JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different sizes in to
one large disk.
RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
4.3 HOW RAID WORKS
RAID 0:
The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large f ile into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multip le
drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This
technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the
platform.
Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any
environment that does not require fault tolerance.
Benefits: provides increased data throughput, especially for large files. No
capacity loss penalty for parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array
fails, all data is lost.
Fault Tolerance: No.

Block 3
Block 5
Block 2
Block 4
Block 6
Motherboard Manual
24
RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on
a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if
the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware
failure.
RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of
automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less
reliable media.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.
Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that
requires fault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Provides 100% data redundancy. Should one drive fail, the
controller switches to the other drive.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.
Performance is impaired during drive rebuilds.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.

TForce 590 SLI Deluxe

RAID 0+1:
RAID 0 drives can be mirrored using RAID 1 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 0+1
solution for improved performance plus resiliency.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform.
- Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for
automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID
levels in an array, and allows for spare disks.
- Drawbacks: Requires twice the available disk space for data redundancy,
the same as RAID level 1.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.

JBOD stands for “Just a Bunch of Disks”. Each drive is accessed as if it were on a
standard SCSI host bus adapter. This is useful when a single drive configuration is
needed, but it offers no speed improvement or fault tolerance.
Features and Benefits
- Uses: JBOD works best if you have odd sized drives and you want to
combine them to make one big drive.
- Benefits: JBOD provides the ability to combine odd size drives using all of
the capacity of the drives.
- Drawbacks: Decreases performance because of the difficulty in using
drives concurrently.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.

RAID 5:
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes
data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained
by ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a
different drive from those used to store the data itself.
Features and Benefits
- Drives: Minimum 3.
- Uses: RAID 5 is recommended for transaction processing and
general purpose service.
- Benefits: An ideal combination of good performance, good fault
tolerance, and high capacity and storage efficiency.
- Drawbacks: Individual block data transfer rate same as a single disk.
Write performance can be CPU intensive.
- Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Automatic Overclock System (A.O.S.)
For beginners in overclock field, BET had developed an easy, fast, and
powerful feature to increase the system performance, named A.O.S.
Based on many tests and experiments, A.O.S. provides 3 ideal overclock
configurations that are able to raise the system performance in a single
step.
V6 Tech Engine:
This setting will raise about 10%~15% of whole system performance.
V8 Tech Engine:
This setting will raise about 15%~25% of whole system performance.
TForce 590 SLI Deluxe
31
V12 Tech Engine:
This setting will raise about 25%~30% of whole system performance.
Notices:
1. Not all types of AMD CPU perform above overclock setting ideally; the difference will be based
on the selected CPU model.
2. From BET experiments, the Atholon64 FX CPU is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.
B. CMOS Reloading Program (C.R.P.):
It allows users to save different CMOS settings into BIOS-ROM.
Users are able to reload any saved CMOS setting for customizing system
configurations.
Moreover, users are able to save an ideal overclock setting during overclock
operation.
There are 50 sets of record addresses in total, and users are able to name the
CMOS data according to personal preference.

Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Award™ BIOS
Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify
the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The
power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without
accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS
activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the
operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password
protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.
Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations
Init Display First
This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.
The Choices: PCI Ex (default), PCI Slot.
Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when
the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen,
TForce 590 SLI Deluxe
30
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“Disabled” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for
the resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for
add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending
on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag,
you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system
interrupts. This is only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to
“Manual”.
IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device
