To set the raid system function, move the cursor to the main 

menu and click the “Raid System Function” link. The “Raid System 

Function” menu will show all items, then select the desired func-

tion.

The Alert Beeper function item is used to Disabled or Enable the 

SATA RAID controller alarm tone generator.

The Raid Rebuild Priority is a relative indication of how much 

time the controller devotes to a rebuild operation. The SATA 

RAID controller allows the user to choose the rebuild priority 

(ultraLow, Low, Normal, High) to balance volume set access 

and rebuild tasks appropriately. For high array performance, 

specify a Low value.

JBOD is an acronym for “Just a Bunch Of Disks”.  It repre-

sents a volume set that is created by the concatenation of par-

titions on the disk.  The OS can see all disks when this option is 

selected. It is necessary to delete a RAID set if the disks in that 

set are to be convereted to JBOD mode.

The SATA RAID controller can support up to SATA ll, which runs 

up to 300MB/s. NCQ is a command protocol in Serial ATA that 

can only be implemented on native Serial ATA hard drives. It 

allows multiple commands to be outstanding within a drive at 

the same time. Drives that support NCQ have an internal queue 

where outstanding commands can be dynamically rescheduled 

or re-ordered, along with the necessary tracking mechanisms 

for outstanding and completed portions of the workload. The 

RAID subsystem allows user to choose the SATA Mode (slowest 

to fastest): SATA150, SATA150+NCQ, SATA300, SATA300+NCQ.
