FastTrak S150 TX4 User Manual

Creating a Security Array with Quick Initialization

Use this setting to create a Mirrored (RAID 1) array with one or two existing hard
drives containing data that you do not want to keep. This method creates a
mirrored array and erases the first data block from your existing drives.
Using the Quick Initialization option on existing drives will result
in the loss of all data on those drives.
When creating a Security array with new drives, a feature called
Gigabyte Boundary will automatically be set to ON. For a
description of this feature, see page 23 in the User Manual.
Follow these steps:
1.
Press the Spacebar to choose Security under the Optimize Array for
section.
2.
Press Ctrl-Y to Save your selection.
3.
The window below will appear.
4.
Press I for the Create and Quick Initialize
5.
A window will appear almost immediately confirming that your Security array
has been created. Press any key to reboot the system.
6.
Proceed with normal FDISK and format procedures as if you had just
installed a new hard drive.
7.
Once the arrayed drives have been formatted, proceed to Chapter 4 of this
Manual to install your operating system and/or FastTrak driver.
Do you want the disk image to be
duplicated to another or do quick
initialize or create only?
