While LTO3 is capable of backing up data onto relatively inexpensive tapes, RDX provides improved performance, especially for random access, by backing up onto ruggedised hard disks. RDX has been designed to provide the best of both worlds, tape storage and hard disk-based storage, by removing the disadvantages of hard disk-based backup. It serves as a complementary technology to LTO3 or as a primary technology for small businesses that cannot afford LTO. This paper explains why RDX is a better technology than most low end tape technologies such as DAT (Digital Audio Tape) and Travan. Click here

Learn why tape is ideal for backup. What types of files in our computer systems should be backed up, when and how frequently? What to do if the Backup Window is very small due to 24x7 operations? How do we automate the backup process to minimize human mistakes by 80%? How to apply a mix of full and incremental backup procedures? How to choose between a 6-tape and a GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) tape back up and rotation scheme? How to plan for migration to newer backup technologies whilst assuring access to archived data? See this white paper for answers.

| Motherboard Model: |
#SH8DAE2 Supermicro H8DAE-2 |
| Motherboard BIOS version: |
2.1

BIOS files (ZIP format) |
Required Files
- The Flash Utility that corresponds with the motherboard BIOS
chip (usually AMI or Award). This will be an executable e.g.
phlash16.exe
- The binary file used by the flash utility for
programming the BIOS chip. It is usually in an 8.3 file with the
extension .rom. E.g. da821158.rom
- A flash verifier may also be present. This is typically named chkflash.com
- A batch file should also present to simpify the update process. This file is typically named flash.bat
Procedure 1 - for flashing the BIOS
- Create a bootable DOS-formatted USB drive.
- Copy or extract the all required files onto the USB drive.
- Boot the PC/motherboard using the USB drive.
- Enter
the following command to flash the BIOS - this is usually just the name
of the batch file followed by the binary file: "flash da821158.rom"
- Once the programming is complete, you should hear a long beep and the system will automatically reboot itself.
- The
first reboot will result in a message similar to the following: "The
CMOS has been reset; press F1 to enter setup or F2 to continue with
default settings". Press F1 and follow the Procedure 2 (Step 2) below.
Procedure 2 - for configuring the BIOS
- Press [Delete] key during POST screen to enter BIOS setup.
- Go to 'Exit' menu. Choose 'Load Optimum Defaults'.
- Change each of the settings listed in Procedure 3 below as applicable - for the specifications of the PC.
Procedure 3 - BIOS Settings
You MAY need to change the following options after loading 'Optimum Defaults'':
(1) Advanced menu -> Floppy/IDE/SATA Configuration -> Floppy A -> 1.44M, 3.5 in (by default).
Please disable if your system lacks a floppy drive.
(2) Advanced menu -> BIOS Features -> Quiet Boot -> Enabled (by default).
Please set this option to Disabled.
(3) Advanced menu -> Floppy/IDE/SATA Configuration -> nVidia RAID Function -> Disabled (by default).
Please Enable this option if your are using HostRAID.
(4) Boot menu -> Boot Device Priority.
Please customise this according to your requirement.
1st Boot Device: Floppy (USB Key included), 2nd Boot Device: CD/DVD, 3rd Boot Device: SATA HDD, 4th Boot Device: PCI SCSI (labelled as "U") is our standard.
End. Go to 'Exit' menu and choose 'Save and Exit'
Other Notes
- IDE HDD under the Recommended Boot Order is also inclusive of SATA HDD unless addressed specifically.
