Aspire BIOS and RAID m3970

Hello

I noticed in the tab BIOS for an Acer Aspire M3970 and then advance under the integrated devices, there are options for the SATA mode on "Native IDE", "AHCI" and "RAID".

I would like to know what RAID modes are supported by the RAID option on this forum. I can't seem to find this information anywhere does support at least 1 RAID when you have two drives?

Any help would be great. Thank you.

This system supports Raid 0, Raid 1, Raid 5, and Raid 10 configurations.

  • Aspire V5 431P F2 is not BIOS and does not start

    Hello

    I made a change in the BIOS to trying to boot a linux live cd (off start secure and changed inheritance) and the system does more boot windows.

    I am not surprised by this, but I can't enter the BIOS put right my changes. The screen "Press F2" is present for about 0.5 seconds and after hours to try the laptop keyboard with a USB, one I can not go in the bios.

    If I can't have at F2 is an another way to get the bios in the correct state for windows?

    Is there a battery that I can remove or a jumper to restore the bios to a fault? Or another key, that I don't know?

    Thanks for your help

  • Re: Satellite X 200-23 G and RAID

    Nice day!

    Note: Satellite x 200-23 G PSPBUE - 020011

    I saw in the discussions if there is not any brand of RAID in the BIOS and Instruction - the RAID is not present.
    But before buying, I checked that:
    HARD drive: 500 GB (5400 RPM), SATA, RAID

    This means that the RAID is present on board, or it means "may be present.

    Thank you

    Can I ask you something: what you mean under RAID and what features you expect with her?

  • The Acer Aspire BIOS recovery procedure

    I ran BIOS update program accidentally in my Acer Aspire desktop on windows 10 PC, the program began suddenly and run in the DOS window, then it crashes before finishing, don't know what stage was when crashed on the BSOD, which needed PC to restart to the no reboot No Acer logo, black screen and PC beeps a long short beeps, tried to boot from USB but as long as the screen is black, I can't do anything, only to become recurring beeps.

    You don't know how to recover the BIOS, if someone had this problem with the BIOS and manage to recover the BIOS, I very much appreciate their help on what to do.

    Thank you

    Hi, thanks for the information and the link that I found very useful and informative, to find the good BIOS I couldn't find the option to select the operating system, the operating system is required to download the drivers only. I don't know how to deal with that and if the OS is or is not required when BIOS downloding.

    I also found some information in the user manual on the version of the BIOS and how to recover the BIOS on page 25 failure, but it is unclear what BIOS to use the original during the expedition or the latest version or the other between two release dates?

    What is meant by the wrong BIOS is specific, bad model, or an incorrect date?

    Thank you.

    I look forward to hear from you.

  • Bad Bios and laptop does not start

    One day, I tried to run an update of the bios and I now know that I made the biggest mistake by forcing my laptop off while running. It's a sudden reaction when my laptop had seemed frozen. I was reading on the update file/app/what is to have all closed while it performs this update but if tempting as I couldn't move my cursor and I had not yet started the update, just opened. After forcing to close, I cut on and get nothing more than a black screen, no light in the display. Y at - it any way to solve this problem at all? I went to someone about this issue, they said that I might need a new motherboard I want to buy because I just think that I mind as well buy a new laptop instead.

    Hello

    The BIOS is for the motherboard.

    And we cannot help you with BIOS problems.

    You will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer; Acer.

    If you put the wrong BIOS you can ruin your motherboard.

  • PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

    Hi all

    I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

    The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

    My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

    I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

    I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

    Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

    Help!

    Hello.

    Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

  • A general question on installing Windows 7 and RAID configuration

    I have an OEM Windows XP machine. His HD system consists of two physical disks connected during a RAID 0 configuration. The RAID has been initially configured in the BIOS (and maybe an extra chip), and then there are the drivers included in the installer of the OS.

    My question is: if I install Windows 7 from scratch on this machine (i.e. not updated from XP) the installation process would allow me to configure the RAID? Has its own generic drivers for RAID configurations?

    You will appreciate a response from a really knowledgeable person.

  • Problem of ESXi 5.5 and RAID

    So I have an ESXi host and RAID problem with a motherboard for Intel Server S1200V3RP. Basically, the problem is that the 5.5 ESXi host is not recognizing the RAID array set up with the utility integrated. See the images below for what I mean.

    I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID. Although I may be wrong on this subject the behaviour of ESXi and each site Web I found says that this may be the case. I tried integrating storage and RAID drivers in the iso ESXi, I tried to update the BIOS chipset with the deployment server disk, and the management and I tried a USB installation with the drivers but nothing seems to solve this problem.

    Since ESXi does not the table as something other than dedicated disks, I tried an inventive work around by choosing the AHCI BIOS and install ESXi 5.5 mode host on a dedicated disk (volume 0). Then I switched back to RAID and used the Intel Rapid Storage Management utility to configure a RAID5 to three remaining disks. It seems to work very well and I was able to access the vsphere ESXi environment. However I couldn't see the RAID volume again on vsphere storage.

    I've plotted a plan where I could load the drives as individual data on the host and virtual server stores use the disk management utility or another program for RAID 3 hard drives together so that they appear as a single volume. However when I booted the system upward it appeared that the integrity of the RAID5 degraded after the addition of each drive separately (probably because he had to load a VMFS on each disc, thereby breaking the table). So this probably won't work (and even if it's possible, it's probably unnecessarily complex).

    So yes, I don't have really a clear idea of the place where to go to get the RAID controller integrated to be read by ESXi. I was told that there may be compatibility issues between VMware and my Intel server model, but I checked and its on its list of approved so compatibility it couldn't be her. I guess I could just stick with dedicated drives and load the HARD drives as data stores, and then use software RAID across virtual machines - but I am concerned about the way in which redundancy will include when we drive finally fails (could I just Exchange on as a hardware raid?). I always thought that software RAID (especially on windows server disk management) smb read and write speed is terrible compared to hardware RAID.

    Anyone know a solution to this problem or where I could go from here?

    I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID.

    ESXi is not 'super picky' here. This kind of fake-RAIDs that are so common on desktop PC motherboards and entry-level rely on specific drivers provided by the hardware vendor to work really. And suppliers basically only provide Windows drivers in the first place. Any other non-OS Windows would be faced with the same question. Try installing a Linux and that you will not see your RAID volume either.

    Yes, your motherboard does not use a real independent of hardware RAID but a cheap RAID/fake-software controller. See the Intel website:

    I have Windows 7-64 bit.  This problem occurred after I did the updates windows 11/04/13 or 12/04/13.

    Mouse power switch and the power button wifi button keys are the only ones that seem to work.
