4. Operating and RAID Configuration
The SSD7140A supports various RAID levels (0, 1, 10) and single-disk configurations. Management can be performed via a web-based GUI or a command-line interface (CLI).
4.1 RAID Levels Explained:
- RAID 0 (스트라이핑): Combines multiple drives into a single logical unit for increased performance. Data is written across all drives simultaneously. Requires a minimum of 2 NVMe SSDs.
- RAID 1(미러링): Duplicates data across two drives, providing redundancy. If one drive fails, data is preserved on the other. Requires 2 NVMe SSDs.
- RAID 10 (Stripe of Mirrors): Combines striping and mirroring for both performance and redundancy. Requires a minimum of 4 NVMe SSDs.
- Single-Disk: Each M.2 NVMe SSD operates independently.

5. 유지관리
The SSD7140A features an advanced cooling solution to maintain optimal operating temperatures for the M.2 SSDs, NVMe chipset, and RAID componentry. To ensure longevity and consistent performance:
- Ensure adequate airflow within your system chassis.
- Regularly check for dust accumulation on the heatsink and fans, and clean as necessary using compressed air.
- Monitor the temperature of individual NVMe SSDs and the controller using the Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) or CLI.

6. 문제 해결
If you encounter issues with your HighPoint SSD7140A controller, consider the following:
- 컨트롤러가 감지되지 않았습니다: Ensure the card is fully seated in the PCIe slot. Verify that the PCIe slot is functional and provides sufficient lanes (x16 recommended).
- RAID Array Issues: 사용하세요 Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) or CLI to check the status of your RAID configuration and individual SSDs. Ensure all SSDs are properly installed and recognized.
- 성능 저하: Check system resource utilization (CPU, RAM) and ensure adequate cooling for the controller and SSDs. Verify that the PCIe slot is operating at its full x16 bandwidth.
- 운영 체제 호환성: Confirm that your operating system version is supported (Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2012 R2/2016/2019/2022, macOS 10.13-12.x, Linux Kernel 3.10+).
