3.3 Instructions with Regard to Specific Dangers3.3.1 Protection Against Contact With Electrical Parts and Housings

This section concerns components of the electric drive and controlsystem with voltages of more than 50 volts.

Contact with parts conducting voltages above 50 volts can cause personaldanger and electric shock. When operating components of the electric driveand control system, it is unavoidable that some parts of these componentsconduct dangerous voltage. High electrical voltage! Danger to life, risk of injury by electric shock or seriousinjury!● Only qualified persons are allowed to operate, maintain and/or repair the

components of the electric drive and control system.● Follow the general installation and safety regulations when working on

power installations.● Before switching on, the equipment grounding conductor must have been

permanently connected to all electric components in accordance with theconnection diagram.

● Even for brief measurements or tests, operation is only allowed if theequipment grounding conductor has been permanently connected to thepoints of the components provided for this purpose.

● Before accessing electrical parts with voltage potentials higher than 50 V,you must disconnect electric components from the mains or from the pow‐er supply unit. Secure the electric component from reconnection.

● With electric components, observe the following aspects:Always wait 30 minutes after switching off power to allow live capacitorsto discharge before accessing an electric component. Measure the elec‐trical voltage of live parts before beginning to work to make sure that theequipment is safe to touch.

● Install the covers and guards provided for this purpose before switchingon.

● Never touch electrical connection points of the components while poweris turned on.

● Do not remove or plug in connectors when the component has been pow‐ered.

● Under specific conditions, electric drive systems can be operated at mainsprotected by residual-current-operated circuit-breakers sensitive to uni‐versal current (RCDs/RCMs).

● Secure built-in devices from penetrating foreign objects and water, as wellas from direct contact, by providing an external housing, for example acontrol cabinet.

High housing voltage and high leakage current! Danger to life, risk of injury byelectric shock!● Before switching on and before commissioning, ground or connect the

components of the electric drive and control system to the equipmentgrounding conductor at the grounding points.




● Connect the equipment grounding conductor of the components of theelectric drive and control system permanently to the main power supply atall times. The leakage current is greater than 3.5 mA.

● Establish an equipment grounding connection with a minimum cross sec‐tion according to the table below. With an outer conductor cross sectionsmaller than 10 mm2 (8 AWG), the alternative connection of two equip‐ment grounding conductors is allowed, each having the same crosssection as the outer conductors.

3.3.2 Protective Extra-Low Voltage as Protection Against Electric Shock Protective extra-low voltage is used to allow connecting devices with basic in‐sulation to extra-low voltage circuits.On components of an electric drive and control system provided by BoschRexroth, all connections and terminals with voltages between 5 and 50 voltsare PELV ("Protective Extra-Low Voltage") systems. It is allowed to connectdevices equipped with basic insulation (such as programming devices, PCs,notebooks, display units) to these connections. Danger to life, risk of injury by electric shock! High electrical voltage by incorrectconnection!If extra-low voltage circuits of devices containing voltages and circuits of morethan 50 volts (e.g., the mains connection) are connected to Bosch Rexrothproducts, the connected extra-low voltage circuits must comply with the re‐quirements for PELV ("Protective Extra-Low Voltage").

3.3.3 Protection Against Dangerous MovementsDangerous movements can be caused by faulty control of connected motors.Some common examples are:


14/117


● Improper or wrong wiring or cable connection● Operator errors● Wrong input of parameters before commissioning● Malfunction of sensors and encoders● Defective components● Software or firmware errorsThese errors can occur immediately after equipment is switched on or evenafter an unspecified time of trouble-free operation.The monitoring functions in the components of the electric drive and controlsystem will normally be sufficient to avoid malfunction in the connected drives.Regarding personal safety, especially the danger of injury and/or property dam‐age, this alone cannot be relied upon to ensure complete safety. Until theintegrated monitoring functions become effective, it must be assumed in anycase that faulty drive movements will occur. The extent of faulty drive move‐ments depends upon the type of control and the state of operation. Dangerous movements! Danger to life, risk of injury, serious injury or propertydamage!A risk assessment must be prepared for the installation or machine, with itsspecific conditions, in which the components of the electric drive and controlsystem are installed.As a result of the risk assessment, the user must provide for monitoring func‐tions and higher-level measures on the installation side for personal safety. Thesafety regulations applicable to the installation or machine must be taken intoconsideration. Unintended machine movements or other malfunctions are pos‐sible if safety devices are disabled, bypassed or not activated.To avoid accidents, injury and/or property damage:● Keep free and clear of the machine’s range of motion and moving machine

parts. Prevent personnel from accidentally entering the machine’s rangeof motion by using, for example:– Safety fences– Safety guards– Protective coverings– Light barriers

● Make sure the safety fences and protective coverings are strong enoughto resist maximum possible kinetic energy.

● Mount emergency stopping switches in the immediate reach of the oper‐ator. Before commissioning, verify that the emergency stopping equip‐ment works. Do not operate the machine if the emergency stopping switchis not working.

● Prevent unintended start-up. Isolate the drive power connection by meansof OFF switches/OFF buttons or use a safe starting lockout.

● Make sure that the drives are brought to safe standstill before accessingor entering the danger zone.

● Additionally secure vertical axes against falling or dropping after switchingoff the motor power by, for example,– mechanically securing the vertical axes,– adding an external braking/arrester/clamping mechanism or– ensuring sufficient counterbalancing of the vertical axes.




● The standard equipment motor holding brake or an external holding brakecontrolled by the drive controller is not sufficient to guarantee personalsafety!

● Disconnect electrical power to the components of the electric drive andcontrol system using the master switch and secure them from reconnec‐tion ("lock out") for:– Maintenance and repair work– Cleaning of equipment– Long periods of discontinued equipment use

● Prevent the operation of high-frequency, remote control and radio equip‐ment near components of the electric drive and control system and theirsupply leads. If the use of these devices cannot be avoided, check themachine or installation, at initial commissioning of the electric drive andcontrol system, for possible malfunctions when operating such high-fre‐quency, remote control and radio equipment in its possible positions ofnormal use. It might possibly be necessary to perform a special electro‐magnetic compatibility (EMC) test.

3.3.4 Protection Against Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields During Oper‐ation and Mounting

Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated by current-carrying conductorsor permanent magnets of electric motors represent a serious danger to personswith heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing aids.Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearingaids in proximity to electric components!● Persons with heart pacemakers and metal implants are not allowed to

enter the following areas:– Areas in which components of the electric drive and control systems

are mounted, commissioned and operated.– Areas in which parts of motors with permanent magnets are stored,

repaired or mounted.● If it is necessary for somebody with a heart pacemaker to enter such an

area, a doctor must be consulted prior to doing so. The noise immunity ofimplanted heart pacemakers differs so greatly that no general rules canbe given.

● Those with metal implants or metal pieces, as well as with hearing aids,must consult a doctor before they enter the areas described above.

3.3.5 Protection Against Contact With Hot PartsHot surfaces of components of the electric drive and control system. Risk ofburns!● Do not touch hot surfaces of, for example, braking resistors, heat sinks,

supply units and drive controllers, motors, windings and laminated cores!● According to the operating conditions, temperatures of the surfaces can

be higher than 60 °C (140 °F) during or after operation.● Before touching motors after having switched them off, let them cool down

for a sufficient period of time. Cooling down can require up to 140 mi‐nutes! The time required for cooling down is approximately five times thethermal time constant specified in the technical data.


16/117


● After switching chokes, supply units and drive controllers off, wait 15 mi‐nutes to allow them to cool down before touching them.

● Wear safety gloves or do not work at hot surfaces.● For certain applications, and in accordance with the respective safety reg‐

ulations, the manufacturer of the machine or installation must take meas‐ures to avoid injuries caused by burns in the final application. Thesemeasures can be, for example: Warnings at the machine or installation,guards (shieldings or barriers) or safety instructions in the applicationdocumentation.

3.3.6 Protection During Handling and MountingRisk of injury by improper handling! Injury by crushing, shearing, cutting, hitting!● Observe the relevant statutory regulations of accident prevention.● Use suitable equipment for mounting and transport.● Avoid jamming and crushing by appropriate measures.● Always use suitable tools. Use special tools if specified.● Use lifting equipment and tools in the correct manner.● Use suitable protective equipment (hard hat, safety goggles, safety shoes,

safety gloves, for example).● Do not stand under hanging loads.● Immediately clean up any spilled liquids from the floor due to the risk of

falling!

3.3.7 Battery SafetyBatteries consist of active chemicals in a solid housing. Therefore, improperhandling can cause injury or property damage.Risk of injury by improper handling!● Do not attempt to reactivate low batteries by heating or other methods (risk

of explosion and cauterization).● Do not attempt to recharge the batteries as this may cause leakage or

explosion.● Do not throw batteries into open flames.● Do not dismantle batteries.● When replacing the battery/batteries, do not damage the electrical parts

installed in the devices.● Only use the battery types specified for the product.

9.2 Data backup with Acronis True Image Echo Workstation9.2.1 Introduction

Overview This chapter describes the execution of a data backup of the entire system atthe Rexroth PC operating devices.The VPB 40.3 can be ordered with or without backup software. Data backupscan be created manually or automatically if the device has been ordered withthe backup software. We recommend you to execute data backups cyclicallyto be able to restore quickly the original state in case of failure (e.g. defectivehard disk).This chapter describes a data backup solution that serves to backup and re‐cover the operating system and the installed user programs (entire system) bya backup of the partition or hard disk, but not by a "selective" backup of userdata . Acronis True Image also supports the backup of individual files and di‐rectories.

This is a brief description based on the "Build 8163" version. Theentire documentation of the Acronis True Image Echo WorkstationSoftware is available at "C:\Support\Software\Acronis" or on the in‐ternet at http://www.acronis.de/enterprise/download/docs/.

The backup software is only provided in English.

After commissioning, we recommend to backup the data.

Why to Backup Data? EDP systems are no static systems. Data is continuously created, modified,moved or deleted. Components are added or removed, updates are carried outand settings are modified. There are many reasons to backup this data andsettings:● Saving data in case of a hardware failure.● Restoring the system environment after incorrect operation.● Saving basic settings of a system.● Archiving a system status before carrying out an update.● Providing an identical system environment.

Definition of hardware and softwarerequirements

Additionally, the program can be used to restore all contents,including operating systems, all programs as well as personal data and settings.Images can be stored on the hard disk, writeable CDs, DVDs, USB disks andnetwork resources. WindowsXP-like wizards can be intuitively operated andexplain step by step the necessary actions.Image files can be incrementally extended. In this way different backup statescan be selected during the restoration of hard disks and partitions.

Archive Files Archive files have the extension "tib". These files contain the images of thepartitions or hard disks. In addition, data of the partitions or hard disk and in‐formation, with which the recovery is realized, are contained. An archive file cancontain images of several partitions and hard disks.During the backup process the data can be compressed and can be splittedinto several image archive files.

It is not recommended to archive images directly on removable me‐dia like e. g. CDs or DVDs, as a flow control of the data is missingbecause of direct writing on these storage media. We recommendyou to divide the image archive during its creation into the corre‐sponding size and to transmit the files after the backup process tothe removable media and to verify it (validation).

Software

Images of partitions contain all files and directories, independent from theircharacteristics (hidden, system etc.), the Master Boot Record (MBR), the FileAllocation Table (FAT) and the root directory (Root).In a partition image only the hard disk sectors containing user data are saved.The image archives can be protected by a password.

Incremental Backup An image archive contains one or several "Images". Generally, images arecompressed copies or partitions of entire drives. Besides the acquisition or sin‐gle recovery of several partitions or drives in an image archive, the data of animage archive can be updated. To achieve this, a technology is used, that issimilar to the incremental data backup. Thereby, only the data modified sincethe last image creation are saved. This process (differential backup) saves timeand memory space. Please consider that the basis of an incremental backupis always a preceding full disk backup. Therefore, the software analyzes at first,if an incremental backup is possible. If a full disk backup does not exist, it isalways created at first.Further advantage of incremental backups: The recovery of a partition from theimage archive is possible with different states generated from different imagecreation times. Not only the image of the respective last backup, but also e. g.the image created at a certain time in the past can be restored.

9.2.3 Acronis Secure Zone und Startup Recovery ManagerAcronis Secure Zone In the case, that local partitions are damaged and e. g. cannot boot anymore,

but the physical state of the HDD is still alright, images can be restored locallyfrom the Acronis Secure Zone.Acronis Secure Zone is a part on the hard disk that cannot be accessed byusual Windows applications. Image archives for quick recovery of partitions orhard disks can be safely archived in this especially protected hard disk partition.Additionally, the Acronis Secure Zone includes parts of the Acronis StartupRecovery Manager, with which the Acronis True Image can be activated in errorcase before starting the operating system and with which a corrupted systempartition can be recovered. In this way partitions can be recovered, even if theWindows operating system does not start anymore. Also the rescue media tostart Acronis True Image is not required, as the information to execute the pro‐gram is integrated in the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.

The Acronis Secure Zone is created as logic drive in the extendedpartition. " FAT32" is the used file system. It cannot be accessedvia a drive letter. Furthermore, there's no direct access to the imagearchives stored there, except for Acronis True Image itself.

Acronis Startup Recovery Manager The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is a boot manager with mini operatingsystem Linux, with which Acronis True Image can be started by pressing theF11 key at independent of the installed Windows, before a possibly damagedoperating system boots. The main task of the Acronis Startup Recovery Man‐ager is the recovery of damaged operating system partitions. Also other parti‐tions can be recovered or backed up. The Acronis True Image started fromAcronis Startup Recovery Manager offers all functions, that are also possibleduring the start of a rescue media.

Activating the cronis Startup Recovery Manage is only possible to‐gether with the Acronis Secure Zone.

Creating the Acronis Secure Zone The Acronis Secure Zone is not implemented on Rexroth devices as default.However, if after a hard disk exchange a saved hard disk image is restored, itmight be necessary to recreate the Secure Zone.



Software

Create the Acronis Secure Zone in the main program window via Activate Ac‐ronis Startup Recovery Manager. After the selection a wizard guides youthrough the required steps:1. Welcome to the Activate Acronis Startup Manager Wizard!

Wizard start window.2. Create Acronis Secure Zone

Selecting the partition on which Acronis Secure Zone is to be created.

We recommend you not to use the operating system partition, butfor example the D:\ partition.

3. SizeEnter the desired size of the Acronis Secure Zone via a slider or via directinput. The proposed value can be taken as the size of Acronis SecureZone can be changed later at any time via Manage Acronis SecureZone in Tools (on the left of the program main window).

Missing storage capacity for further appli‐cations because the storage reserved forthe Acronis Secure Zone is not availablefor other applications anymore.

NOTICE

The minimum storage capacity for basic backup and additional incremen‐tal backup is 10 GB.

4. Acronis Secure Zone ProtectionEnter a password to access the "Acronis Secure Zone".

Observe that the password is case-sensitive.

5. ProceedFinishing the wizard. As soon as the creation of the Acronis Secure Zonehas been finished, the wizard displays a message. Press the OK buttonto complete the process.

After creation of the Acronis Secure Zone, the Acronis Startup Re‐covery Manager is automatically activated. During each boot proc‐ess before starting Windows XP a message appears for approx. 3secondsStarting Acronis Loader...Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager...The Acronis Startup Recovery Manager can be deactivated or re‐activated via Activate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager at anytime.

9.2.4 Creating Image Archives Before creating the image, ensure that there's sufficient space onthe target data carrier to store the image archive.


70/117

Software

It is only allowed to backup data, if the Windows operating systemand the machine control are running and after explicit release of therespective control system. Generally, we recommended you tobackup Windows system partitions via the Acronis Startup Recov‐ery Manager, if the Windows operating system is not running.

The main program window contains the Backup function. After clicking on thesymbol, the "Create Backup Wizard" opens:

1. Welcome to the Create Backup Wizard!Wizard start window.

2. Select Backup TypeSelection of the backup type. It can be selected if a complete backup (sin‐gle partitions, all partitions) or a partial backup (single directories and files)should be carried out via two checkboxes. A note that informs about whatcan be stored in the marked backup type appears in the Description zone.

3. Partitions SelectionSelect partition(s) to be backed up. All partitons of the hard disk for se‐lection are displayed.

In this selection also the selection of the Acronis Secure Zone isdisplayed. If this one or the complete hard disk including the AcronisSecure Zone is selected for backup, a message is displayed thatan image of this part is not recommended because this part containsonly saved images. If the Acronis Secure Zone is not included inthe backup, it must be newly created on a new hard disk after therecovery of the backup.

4. Source File ExclusionExclusion of certain file types or directories. Certain file types or directoriescan be excluded from saving in the directory. After selecting a file type inthe window further file types can be added or removed.

5. Backup Archive LocationSelect storage location and file name for the image archive. A directoryon one of the partitions or of an external device (CD/DVD, USB hard disk)can be selected. There is still the possibility to create a new directory.Saving the image on a network drive is also possible. The file name forthe image can be freely selected. If the Acronis Secure Zone is selectedas memory location, under File name a message is displayed that no filename is to be specified.

6. Select Backup ModeSelection of the backup mode. The following modes can be selected:● Create a new full backup archive

Creates a full image of individual files, directories, partitions or theentire hard disk.

● Create an incremental backupCreates an image containing only the changes after the last fullbackup or the last incremental backup.

● Create a differential backup archiveCreates an image containing only the changes after the last fullbackup.



Software

Before the first incremental backup can be performed, a full imagemust exist.

7. Choose Backup OptionsPossible options are the default option or the user-specific options. Viauser-specific options single options can be switched on, switched off ormodified. The following options are available:● Archive Protection

Defining a password for access to the archive.● Pre/Post commands

Defining commands (or batch files) to be executed before or after thebackup.

● Database supportA lot of Window services, including mail and database servers, likeMicrosoft Exchange or Microsoft SQL Server, work with manyopened files. Therefore we recommend you to stop the processes ofthese services during the snapshot for the creation of the backuparchive file. This can done with this option.

● Compression levelThe following four compression levels are available:– None (no compression)– Normal– High– MaximumThe higher the compression level, the smaller is the memory spacerequirement for the image archive file. However, the required time tocreate and restore the image archive file is higher. We recommendthe "normal" compression rate.

● Backup performanceThe priority of the backup process and the write speed to the storagemedium can be modified.

● NotificationsThis option allows to send e-mails or messages via Windows Mes‐senger after completion of the backup process.

● Event tracingThis option allows to send the backup report to the Windows EventLog application.

● Archive splittingAllows to split the archive into several files. The splitting can be doneautomatically or can be defined by entering a fixed size. This is rec‐ommendable if you store an archive on your hard disk and want toburn it to a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW later on.

● Dual destinationThis options allows to store a copy of a backup in the Acronis SecureZone in a selected directory.

● Error handlingUse this option to define how errors are handled during the backupprocess.


72/117

Software

● Additional settingsThis option allows to validate the backup automatically (validation ofdata integrity) after completion.

8. Archive CommentsA meaningful comment about the image archive file can be entered. Thiscomment simplifies the identification of the image archive at a later time.

9. ProceedFinishing the wizard and starting the image creation.

To finish the creation of an image archive file (=backup archive file),it is recommdable to validate it by clicking Validate Backup Ar‐chive under Explore and Validate Backup Archives in the mainwindow.

9.2.5 Validating Image Archives Image archives serve to backup or archive data. Thus, the data integrity is themost important property of an image archive. Therefore check every imagearchive after the creation.To do so, the Acronis True Image main program window provides the ValidateBackup Archive function under Explore and Validate Backup Archives. The onlystep after the start window serves to select the image archive file to be checked.Acronis True Image automatically focuses on the file which contains the lastbackup. After clicking Proceed, Acronis True Image begins to validate the ar‐chive. At the end of the validation a message about the successful action isdisplayed.

If Acronis True Image has detected an error, repeat the image cre‐ation. In this case an other data carrier is to be used as storagemedium.

9.2.6 Updating and Extending Image ArchivesIt is not necessary to create a complete archive for each data backup. For this,the incremental image creation can be performed. During an incremental imagecreation, only the sectors of the partitions or hard disk are saved, that havebeen changed since the last complete image creation. This information is savedas part of the image archive in a new file in the directory of the full image archive.The name of the new file is the file name of the full image archive in conjunctionwith a consecutive number (see note). Incremental image creation is only rea‐sonable on hard disk or network drives, because using a removable media thefull backup is no longer provided when writing the incremental file.

The archives of the incremental backup are always filed in the di‐rectory of the selected full backup. The incremental archive files aremarked with a consecutive number at the end of the file name.Example:Name of the full image archive: Backup_Drive_CName of the first incremental archive file: Backup_Drive_C2Name of the second incremental archive file: Backup_Drive_C3

Start the incremental backup of a partition via the Backup function in the pro‐gram main window. After clicking on the icon, the wizard for image creationstarts:

Then the selected archive and all corresponding archives (incremental and dif‐ferential backups) are displayed.

In order to explore an incremental backup the following backupsmust be available: all before created incremental backups and thefull backup, which served as basis. Even if only one part of thebackup is missing, the exploration cannot be performed. In order toexplore a differential backup, the full backup, which served as basis,must be available.

Select the archive to be explored by a double-click. The partition from whichthe archive contains data and the creation date are displayed, see chapter9.2.8 "Exploring Image Archives" on page 76.

Fig.9-6: Explorer displayAfter double-clicking the drive icon, all directories contained in the archive aredisplayed. Directories can be opened and explored and data can be copiedfrom the directories, if necessary.



Software

If an image arcive consists of several partial archives, they must beavailable as a whole in order to integrate the contained images.Therefore, it is not possible to integrate images distributed on CD/DVD. If this should be necessary, all partial archives must be copiedin a common directory on the hard disk.

9.2.9 Removing Image Archives The function for removing image files is in Explore Backup Archives. This is asubfunction of Explore and Validate Backup Archives. After clicking ExploreBackup Archives, a window opens, in which the archive to be removed can beselected.

9.10.5 RAID GlossaryIntel Products and Services

Intel RapidStorage Tech‐nology

Serial ATA storage software that enables power features andincreased performance on mobile systems. Furthermore, itprovides performance and protection functions on other sys‐tems.

Intel RapidStorage Tech‐nology optionROM:

The option ROM is a code module built into the system BIOSthat provides boot support for RAID volumes as well as a userinterface for configuring and managing RAID volumes.

Intel(R) RapidRecover Tech‐nology

This technology allows you to copy data from a master drive toa recovery drive. Copying can be made either continuously oron request. To utilize this technology, create a recovery vol‐ume.

Matrix RAID Software that can create, manage, and use two independentRAID volumes within a single RAID array.

Common RAID TerminologyAutomatic-re‐build

The process of restoring a RAID 1, 5, or 10 volume in the eventthat a RAID member fails or is missing. If a spare hard drive ispresent, the software will automatically use it as a replacementfor the failed hard drive. An auto-rebuild process will also occurif a RAID 1 member is removed and then reinserted, in orderto re-establish the mirroring. RAID 0 volumes cannot use theauto-rebuild process.

Auto-recover The process of automatically recovering volumes that havefailed due to a missing disk. For redundant RAID volumes, ifthe most recently removed member disk is replaced and ifenough non-failed disks are present the volume status will bechanged to "Degraded".



Software

Spare drive A Serial ATA hard drive that is designated by the RAID softwareto be automatically used as the target of an rebuild in the eventthat a RAID member fails or is missing RAID level 0 cannot usespare drives. RAID levels 1, 5 and 10 can use one or morespare drives.

Continuousupdate policy

When a recovery volume is using this policy, data on the masterdrive is copied to the recovery drive automatically as long asboth drives are connected to the system.

Master drive The hard drive that is the designated source drive in a recoveryvolume.

Metadata Metadata means 'data about data' or 'information about infor‐mation'. For RAID volumes, metadata is information about theway the RAID volume stores the user and system files on aRAID volume.

Migration The process of converting a system's data storage configura‐tion from a non-RAID configuration (pass-thru) to a RAID con‐figuration.

Member A hard drive used within a RAID array.RAID Redundant Array of Independent Drives: RAID allows data to

be distributed across multiple hard drives to provide data re‐dundancy or to enhance data storage performance.

RAID array A logical group of physical hard drives.On request up‐date policy

When a recovery volume is using this policy, data on the masterdrive is copied to the recovery drive when you request it. Onlychanges since the last update process are being copied.

RAID volume A fixed amount of space across a RAID array that appears asa single physical hard drive to the operating system. EachRAID volume is created with a specific RAID level to providedata redundancy or to enhance data storage performance.

RAID level A defined set of characteristics applied to a RAID volume,which determines how data is stored and managed to improveread/write performance or to increase fault tolerance.

RAID level mi‐gration

The process of converting a system's data storage configura‐tion from one RAID level to another. The supported level mi‐grations are listed in table 3.

RAID 0 (strip‐ing)

The data in the RAID volume is striped across the array'smembers. Striping divides data into units and distributes thoseunits across the members without creating data redundancy,but improving read/write performance.

RAID 1 (mir‐roring)

The data in the RAID volume is mirrored across the array'smembers. "Mirroring" is the term used to describe the key fea‐ture of RAID 1, which writes duplicate data to each member;therefore, creating data redundancy and increasing fault toler‐ance.

RAID 5 (strip‐ing with parity)

The data in the RAID volume and parity are striped across thearray's members. Parity information is written with the data ina rotating sequence across the members of the array. ThisRAID level is a preferred configuration for efficiency, fault-tol‐erance, and performance.

RAID 10 (strip‐ing and mirror‐ing)

The RAID level where information is striped across a two diskarray for system performance. Each of the drives in the arrayhas a mirror for fault tolerance. RAID 10 provides the perform‐ance benefits of RAID 0 and the redundancy of RAID 1. How‐ever, for RAID 10 four drives are required.

Volume initiali‐zation

The process of initializing parity for RAID 5 volumes or ensuringthat each block of data on the mirror is identical to the equiva‐


102/117

lent data block on the source hard drive(s) for RAID 1 and RAID10 volumes.

Recoverydrive

The hard drive that is the designated source drive in a recoveryvolume.

Recovery vol‐ume

A volume utilizing Intel(R) Rapid Recover Technology.

Storage TerminologyAHCI Advanced Host Controller Interface: An interface specification

that allows the storage driver to enable advanced serial ATAfunctions such as Native Command Queuing, Native Hot Plug,and power management.

Asynchronousnotification

Allows an ATAPI device to send notification to the serial ATAcontroller that the device requires attention.

ATAPI device A mass storage device with a parallel interface such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and tape drives.

eSATA An external SATA drive.Hard drivewrite cache

A cache memory within a hard drive, which temporarily storesdata before that data is copied to non-volatile storage.

Hotplug The unannounced removal and insertion of a Serial ATA harddrive while the system is powered on.

Native Com‐mand Queuing

A command protocol in Serial ATA that allows multiple com‐mands to be outstanding within a hard drive at the same time.The commands are dynamically reordered to increase harddrive performance.

RAID control‐ler

The RAID controller creates and manages RAID arrays andRAID volumes to improve read/write performance and to in‐crease fault tolerance.

Serial ATAcontroller

The Serial ATA controller is integrated into the I/O controllerhub in the system. This controller manages Serial ATA devicesand serves as their interface to the system.

Serial ATAhard drive

A hard drive with an interface that transmits data using a serialprotocol in order to communicate with the Serial ATA Control‐ler.

Serial ATAStorage Sub‐system

All hardware and software on a system that is related to storingdata on Serial ATA hard drives.

Serial ATAtransfer mode

The rate at which the Serial ATA controller and Serial ATA harddrive communicate with each other.

SMART event Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology SMARTis an open standard for developing hard drives and softwaresystems that automatically monitor a hard drive and report po‐tential problems.

Link powermanagement

The ability of the Serial ATA controller to put the Serial ATAdevice into a lower power state.

Volume writeback cache

This cache is used with RAID 5 volumes only. The write backcache function is supported by the Intel Rapid Storage Tech‐nology driver to enhance read/write performance of a RAID 5array. Multiple I/O requests from the host are grouped into few‐er requests and written from the cache to the volumes atdefined intervals. The write back cache can be enabled or dis‐abled at any time without the need to reboot the system.
