5-1.3 Creating Security Array With Existing Data Drive

FastTrak133-Lite on board permits only two drives to be used for a

single Mirroring (Security) array with FastBuild Utility.

Checkpoints before creating a Security Array:

(1) You may use a drive that is containing data or a bootable O/S.

Then you will need another new drive of identical or larger

storage capacity.

(2) Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow

this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.

(3) If you wish to include your current bootable drive holding Window

NT 4.x or Windows 2000 O/S as part of a bootable Mirroring (

RAID 1 ) array on your FastTrak133-Lite controller , you SHOULD

first install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver software to this drive

while it is still attached to your system hard drive controller (e.g.

IDE1/IDE2). For all other Operating Systems except Win NT4.0

and 2000, you can proceed with your hard driver(s) connected

to IDE3/DIE4.

1. Boot your system with FastTrak133-Lite Controller enabled by JP17

and your hard drive(s) connected to IDE3/IDE4. Suppose this is the

first time to create a Disk Array. The Promise BIOS on board with

FastBuild Utility built in will scan the IDE devices and display the

result as below:

FastTrak133-Lite (tm) BIOS Version 1.xx (Build xxxx)

No array is defined...

Press <Ctrl-F> to enter FastBuild (tm) Utility

Or press <ESC> key to continue booting the system.

2. Press <Ctrl-F> keys to display the FastBuild (tm) Utility Main Menu.
