PRE-INSTALLATION
(Speed, Device Types, Capacity, Cabling)
Q: What kind of hard drives can I use for a FastTrak100-Lite array?
A: You can use any IDE/EIDE hard drive(s) to create arrays on the
FastTrak100-Lite. You should use matching drives for multiple-drive
arrays to maximize capacity usage as well as performance. Ultra
ATA/100 drives are recommended for highest performance.
Q: Will APM (Advanced Power Management) work with HDDs on the
FastTrak100-Lite?
A: APM will not work with HDDs on the FastTrak100-Lite. This is because
the system sees the card as a SCSI card.
Q: Can I use ATAPI devices on the FastTrak100-Lite controller?
A: No. There is no driver layer on the FastTrak100-Lite controller which will
support ATAPI packet messages.
Q: Will the FastTrak100 Lite work with a 37Mhz or 41Mhz PCI bus
speed?
A: The current PCI 2.1 specification is for a 33Mhz PCI bus speed. The
FastTrak100-Lite is designed around the specification. In most cases, a
higher PCI bus speed will result in a variety of different errors. While
some people have been able to get these higher speeds to work, since it
is out of specification we cannot support it.
Q: How can I change the resources that the FastTrak uses?
