RAID Technologies

-
RAID Technology: The HDDs must be same model and same size. (If the size is different, it is setup according the lowest HDD.) The RAID settings should be set on the computer BIOS settings. And the mainboard must support RAID.

RAID 0: At least 2 HDD are needed! Speed! > If you have 2 HDD; it looks you have 1 HDD.

RAID 1: At least 2 HDD are needed! Data Security! > If you have 2 HDD; it looks you have 1 HDD.

RAID 5: At least 3 HDD are needed! Speed&Data Security! > If you have 3 HDD; it looks you have 2 HDD.

RAID 6: At least 4 HDD are needed! Speed&Data Security! > If you have 4 HDD; it looks you have 2 HDD. Slower than RAID 5.

RAID 10 (1+0): At least 4HDD are needed! Speed&Data Security! > If you have 4 HDD; it looks you have 2 HDD.

There are some software to setup RAID technologies. In my school, it was Avago MegaRAID Storage Manager.

If a HDD is broken, you can replace it as simple as unplug and plug it back. You may need to rebuild the new hdd. It may take 1-2 days.

General Printer Errors

Q: When I send a print to the copier it takes several minutes to print ! A:   The reason can be the size of the file and the resolution. (What are the size of the file and how many pages?) or driver issue (needs to update latest version) or printer firmware issue (needs to update latest version) or speed negotiation issue (set speed/duplex manually on both ends (switch and copier)). Q: The address label doesn't fit on the paper! A:   Make sure that it fits the page. You will see it when you goes the print > more settings (The scale may not 100%. ) Q: The wifi drops down! A:   I recommend you to do the followings: Check the printer firmware. (Refer the manufacturer website.) Check your machine wifi capability and you network band. (2.4GHz or 5 GHz) Check your network minimum bitrate (Mbps) Be careful! increasing or decreasing it may affect your network, if you have close AP in the building. Try usb cable no longer than 2 meters. (Some devices do...

Don't repeat any code! If you do that, there is something wrong. Don't dry (don't repeat yourself) It is a Case-Sensitive language. Keep your variable lower case letters. No space, If you need, use _ .  Ex: my_language print ('Hello World') print(f"{kind} kilos ")     # kind is a variable which defined before. name= input (' What is your name? ') str: All input are str (default). You need to convert them int or float to make calculation float int ' ' '  You can write whatever you want here ' ' ' word= "Python and Mr.G" print (word[0:4])  ==> Pyth      0 is P.  4 is o. But the last one is excluded. Examples: print (word[2])     ==> t print (word[-1])     ==> G print (word[2:5])     ==> tho print(word[1:-1])  ==> ython and Mr. Function = Methods message.upper()                   # to convert to uppercase message...
