Hardware installation 22 22
High power consumption be used 500w or greater if a power supply is used that does not provide the required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system 22
To meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand 22
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the componentsonthemotherboard beforeconnectingthepowerconnector firstmakesurethepower supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation the 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 22

Heating overheating may result in damage to the cpu or the system may hang 23
The motherboard has a 4 pin cpu fan header cpu_fan a 4 pin sys_fan2 and a 3 pin sys_ fan1 system fan headers and a 3 pin power fan header pwr_fan most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design when connecting a fan cable be sure to connect it in the correct orientation the black connector wire is the ground wire the motherboard supports cpu fan speed control which requires the use of a cpu fan with fan speed control design for optimum heat dissipation it is recom mended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis 23

When completed you can see detailed information about the raid array in the disk volume informa tion section including the raid level stripe block size array name and array capacity etc figure 7 83
Appendix 84 84
Before you begin the recovery drive must have equal or greater capacity than the master drive a recovery volume can be created with two hard drives only a recovery volume and a raid array cannot 84
By default only the master drive can be riewed in the operating system the recovery drive is hidden 84
Co exist in the system at the same time that is if you have already created a recovery volume you are unable to create a raid array 84
Figure 8 84
Figure 9 84
Recovery volume options intel rapid recover technology provides data protection by allowing users to easily restore data and system operation using a designated recovery drive with the rapid recovery technology which employs raid 1 functionality users can copy the data from the master drive to the recovery drive if needed the data on the recovery drive can be restored back to the master drive 84

Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array rebuilding applies only to fault tolerant arrays such as raid 1 raid 5 or raid 10 arrays the procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a raid 1 array note the new drive must have equal or greater capacity than the old one 100
Rebuilt if you do not enable automatic rebuild on this stage you have to manually rebuild the array in the operating system see the next page for more details 100
The following screen appears indicating that an automatic rebuild will be performed after you enter the operating system look for the intel rapid storage technology icon 100

Appendix 102 102
Restoring the master drive to a previous state for recovery volume only when two hard drives are set to recovery volume in update on request mode you can restore the master drive data to the last backup state when needed for example in case the master drive detects a virus you can restore the recovery drive data to the master drive 102
