You have successfully installed the SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe Card in

your computer If you want to configure your RAID drives, press and hold

the 2 keys, Ctrl and M, to enter the BIOS Setup Utility for this card You can

configure the SATA RAID or HyperDuo modes in the BIOS Setup

5.1 RAID Modes

This chapter will help you to know the RAID and HyperDuo modes

supported by the SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe Card

5.2 Non-RAID mode (Single Disk Mode)

This mode is the Single Disk mode Each disk drive will be treated as

one disk volume in the operating system

5.3 Striping (RAID 0)

Read and write sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives

When any disk member fails, it affects the entire array Performance is

better than a single drive since the workload is balanced between

the array members This array type is for high performance systems

Identical drives are recommended (but not necessary, if the sizes

differ, it will truncate the bigger drive so the sizes match, it will cause a

waste) for performance as well as data storage efficiency The disk

array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times

the smallest member capacity

5. RAID and HyperDuo Modes

4-Port SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe(x2) Card

5.4 Mirroring (RAID 1)

Writes duplicate data on to a pair of drives while reads are performed

in parallel The RAID controller performs reads using advanced data

handling techniques that distribute the workload in a more efficient

manner than using a single drive When a read request is made, the

RAID controller selects the drive positioned closest to the requested

data, then looks to the “idle” drive to perform the next read access If

one of the mirrored drives suffers a mechanical or did not respond,

the remaining drive will continue to function

5.5 Striping/Mirroring (RAID 0+1, or RAID 10)

A combination of both above array types It can increase

performance by reading and writing data in parallel while

protecting data with duplication With a four-drive disk array,

Write data Streams

… … 4, 3, 2, 1

Read data Streams

… 4, 3, 2, 1

Stripe member 1

Stripe member 2

Write data Streams

… … 4, 3, 2, 1

Read data Streams

… 4, 3, 2, 1

Mirror member 1 (Original)

Mirror member 2

(Mirror)

4-Port SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe(x2) Card

two pairs of drives are striped Each pair mirrors the data on

the other pair of striped drives The data capacity is similar to a

standard mirroring array with half of total capacity dedicated

for redundancy

5.6 HyperDuo

The HyperDuo mode in combination with a SATA HDD and a SSD,

offering a breakthrough embedded technology for new-generation

6Gb/s SATA controllers, enabling 80 percent of the performance of a

solid state drive (SSD) at one-third the cost Configured with one hard

drive and one SSD, HyperDuo uses intelligent algorithms to

automatically migrate hot data to the SSD, while enabling all data to

be safely stored on a larger capacity SATA HDD

HyperDuo enables two modes: Safe Mode and Capacity Mode Both

modes automatically identify LBA ranges across both the SSD and

HDD so that the user experience is exactly the same By allowing

consumers to view the same single drive volume (eg Data (D:) ) as

they do today, HyperDuo requires no behavioral changes by

consumers to maximize simplicity and eliminates user error

5.6.1 HyperDuo: Safe Mode

Safe Mode provides optimal data protection by mirroring data from

the SSD to the hard disk for maximum resiliency

4-Port SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe(x2) Card

5.6.2 HyperDuo: Capacity Mode

Capacity Mode augments SSD and HDD capacity for the most

cost-effective configuration

Turn on your computer and press <Ctrl> and <M> keys to enter BIOS

Setup during the POST (Power-On Self-Test) Please check the Help

field at the bottom of the screen for proper operations

6. Configuring a SATA Disk Array

4-Port SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe(x2) Card

6.1 Create a Disk Array:

Under Free Physical Disks, use the <Space> key to select the hard

drives to be included in the RAID array The selected hard drive will

be marked with an asterisk (*) After selecting the hard drives, press

<Enter> to proceed

To further configure the disk array, use the up or down arrow key to

move the selection bar to select an item in the right block of the

screen and press <Enter> Set the required items in sequence and

press <Enter> after each step:

1 RAID Level: Select a RAID level Options include RAID 0 (Stripe)

and RAID 1 (Mirror)

2 Stripe Size: Select the stripe block size Options include 32 KB and

64 KB

3 Gigabyte Rounding: Select whether to permit the installation of a

replacement drive that is smaller than the failed drive when

performing a RAID 1 rebuild Options include None, 1G, and 10G

4 Quick Init: Select whether to quickly erase old data on the hard

drives when creating the array

5 VD Name: Enter an array name with 1~10 letters (letters cannot

be special characters)

6 Ne t: After completing the settings above, move to Ne t and

press <Enter> to begin creating the array When prompted to

confirm whether to create this array, press <Y> to confirm or <N>

to cancel

4-Port SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe(x2) Card

7 When completed, you can see the new array under

Topology\Virtual Disks

8 Save the Settings and E it. After you complete the RAID

configuration and before you exit the configuration screen, be

sure to press <F10> in the main screen Press <Y> to confirm or <N>

to cancel

9 Now, you may proceed to create the SATA driver diskette (for

AHCI mode) and the installation of the SATA driver and operating

system

6.2 Delete the Disk Array:

To deleted the existing array, select the array on the main menu

(example: VD 0: New_VD) and press <Enter> to display the Delete

option Press <Enter> When prompted, press <Y> to confirm or <N> to

cancel

With the Marvell Storage Utility (RAID GUI), you can setup a disk array

or view the current array status in the operating system Before

installing the MSU utility, you have to install the drivers first, the

Windows Hardware Installing Wizard will invoke the drivers when you

first time power up the system with the RAID card installed in the PCIe

slot, you need to insert the supplied driver CD (folders as the following

picture), and browse to the correct folder to complete the

installation

Please follow the following steps:

1 While Windows Hardware Wizard asking for the drivers, browse to

the correct folder \SATA3\88SE9230\Drivers\amd64 (or i386 for

32-bit Windows) to install the RAID drivers

7. Installing RAID Drivers and GUI (MSU)

For 64-bit Windows

Platforms

For 32-bit Windows

Platforms

4-Port SATA3 RAID/HyperDuo PCIe(x2) Card

2 Reboot the system to let the drivers take effect

3 Run the RAID GUI installer

(\SATA3\88SE9230\Utility\MRUSetup.e e) to install the RAID Utility

Note:

After the installation, you must login the utility with the

same account name and password that you use to login the

operating system If you did not set the account password before,

click Login to enter the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) directly

Note:

Please refer to the manual file of Marvell Storage Utility

(MSU) on the CD (in the same folder as the drivers) for more detail

operations

Q: What should I do if my disk array is broken?

If a disk array is broken, please don’t open the computer case

immediately to correct the problem before you backup all your

important data It’s because you are most likely to make a mistake in

this abnormal condition

PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST!

If your array is in RAID 1 mode or HyperDuo Safe mode, that means

your system is still running in the critical condition instead of dead If

you backup your data by removable drives or network solution, you

will have a copy of up-to-date data away from this computer Then

you are safe to correct the RAID problems even you open the

computer case or change the hardware settings Some people

destroyed the data on the good drive by accident mistake when

they are changing drive or cables or modes And they lost their

important data since they did NOT backup them first! For RAID 0

mode, please always backup the data since you will lost all data

when the array is broken

Some broken array is caused by the connection problems To see if it

is the problem, please power off your computer and check the cable

connections between the RAID card and SSD or hard drives Or

change a new power or SATA cable, then power on the computer

again These may bring the broken array back to normal if the root

cause is the connection problem

If the above actions don’t work, then it may be the SSD or hard drive

problem Please replace the defect drive with a good one The RAID

card then will detect the new drive and rebuild the broken array

(RAID 1) Please note that you cannot rebuild a broken RAID 0 in any

case
