This section is designed to get you started for installation of your FastTrak100-Lite.
WARNING: Before installing the driver into an existing system,
backup any necessary data. Failure to follow this accepted PC
practice could result in data loss.
INSTALLING THE HARD DRIVES
Hard drives must be Ultra ATA/100, Ultra ATA/66, Ultra ATA/33, EIDE and/or Fast
ATA-2 compatible to operate with FastTrak100-Lite RAID. For optimal
performance, install all identical drives of the same model and capacity. The drives'
matched performance allows the array to function better as a single drive.
1. Promise recommends using identical drive as part of a FastTrak100-Lite array.
If striping for performance, use two new drives. If mirroring for protection, you
can use two new drives OR use an existing drive and a new drive (the new drive
must be the same size or larger than the existing drive).
