Fastcheck Win 95/98NT Monitoring Utility
Once FastTrak66 is installed and operational, the FastCheck Utility is used to
monitor the operating status of all arrays and drives configured on the
FastTrak66. Visual and audible messages are available to warn of possible pro-
blems with the disk array or controller. In addition, FastCheck visually identi-
fies the physical location of attached drives on the FastTrak66 by IDE channel
and identifies which drives are included as part of individual arrays. Finally,
administrators can customize FastCheck to maintain operating logs and event
notification, set Password access to the utility, and schedule maintenance on
Mirrored (RAID 1) or a Striped/Mirrored (RAID 0/1) arrays.
Installation
From the Start Button, choose the Run button. In the Run dialog box, type in
"A:\" and click OK.
Follow the directions from the setup program.
Promise recommends to have FastCheck load during Startup. This insures you
that it will be ready to post alerts on errors. During installation, click YES when
prompted to run the utility on every startup. If NO is selected, FastCheck will
not initialize during startup. You may manually execute the utility via the Start
button.
On the Windows 95/98/NT taskbar, the FastCheck icon appears as a stack of
disks. To launch the utility double-click on the task bar icon.
Windows NT 3.51 does not have a task bar. FastCheck will appear as a min-
imized icon on the desktop.
