NOTE 
Many Serial ATA drives use new low-voltage power connectors and require adaptors or power 
supplies equipped with low-voltage power connectors.

1.6.3.3  Serial ATA RAID 
The ICH7DH supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels: 
•  RAID 0 - data striping.  Multiple physical drives can be teamed together to create one logical 
drive.  As data is written or retrieved from the logical drive, both drives operate in parallel, thus 
increasing the throughput.  The ICH7DH allows for more than two drives to be used in a 
RAID 0 configuration. 
•  RAID 1 - data mirroring.  Multiple physical drives maintain duplicate sets of all data on 
separate disk drives.  Level 1 provides the highest data reliability because two complete copies 
of all information are maintained.  The ICH7DH allows for two or four drives to be used in a 
RAID 1 configuration. 
•  RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring.  RAID 0+1 combines multiple mirrored 
drives (RAID 1) with data striping (RAID 0) into a single array.  This provides the highest 
performance with data protection.  Data is striped across all mirrored sets.  RAID 0+1 utilizes 
several drives to stripe data (increased performance) and then makes a copy of the striped 
drives to provide redundancy.  The mirrored disks eliminate the overhead and delay of parity. 
•  RAID 5 - distributed parity.  RAID Level 5 stripes data at a block level across several drives 
and distributes parity among the drives; no single disk is devoted to parity.  Because parity data 
is distributed on each drive, read performance tends to be lower than other RAID types.  
RAID 5 requires the use of three or four drives. 
1.6.4  Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery 
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory.  When the computer 
is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years.  When the 
computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery.  
The clock is accurate to 
± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied. 
 
NOTE 
If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be loaded into CMOS 
RAM at power-on. 
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS 
RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate.  Replace the battery with an 
equivalent one.  Figure 1 on page 12 shows the location of the battery.
