Chapter 6. RAID

What is RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that provides increased storage functions and reliability through redundancy. It also can improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared with single-drive storage systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing missing data from the remaining drives.

When a group of independent physical storage drives is set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID array. This array distributes data across multiple storage drives, but the array appears to the host computer as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the expedited I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.

RAID Level Your computer must have the minimum number of SATA storage drives installed for the supported level of RAID below:

RAID 0: striped disk array

Consists of at least two SATA storage drives

Supported strip size: 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB

Better performance without fault tolerance

RAID 1: mirrored disk array

Consists of two SATA storage drives

Improved reading performance and 100% redundancy

RAID 5: block-level striped disk array with distributed parity

Consists of at least three SATA storage drives

Supported strip size: 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB

Better performance and fault tolerance

RAID 10: striped and mirrored disk array

Consists of at least four SATA storage drives

Supported strip size: 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, or 64 KB

Better performance without fault tolerance

Improved reading performance and 100% redundancy

Configure the system BIOS to enable SATA RAID functionality To enable SATA RAID functionality:

1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.

2. Select Devices ATA Drive Setup and press Enter.

Appendix B. Important safety information 81

Static electricity prevention Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options. Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can damage the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not open the static-protective packaging containing the part until the instructions direct you to install it.

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.

Prevent others from touching components.

When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-protective packaging containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the packaging and your body.

When possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.

Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

ENERGY STAR model information

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy aimed at saving money and protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices.

Lenovo is proud to offer products with the ENERGY STAR certified designation. Lenovo computers, if carry an ENERGY STAR mark, have been designed and tested to conform to the ENERGY STAR program requirements for computers as prescribed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For a certified computer, an ENERGY STAR mark may be affixed to the product, the product packaging, or displayed electronically on the E-label screen or the power settings interface.

By using ENERGY STAR compliant products and taking advantage of the power management features of your computer, you reduce the consumption of electricity. Reduced electrical consumption contributes to potential financial savings, a cleaner environment, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. For more information about ENERGY STAR, go to https://www.energystar.gov.

Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of your day-to-day operations. To help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset a default power plan. To change the power plan, see Set the power plan on page 11.
