4.4 – Using FastBuild™ Configuration Utility
The FastBuild™ Configuration Utility offers several menu choices to create and manage the
drive array on the Promise PDC20378. For purposes of this manual, it is assumed you have
already created an array in the previous chapter and now wish to make a change to the array
or view other options.

Viewing PDC20378 BIOS Screen

When you boot your system with the PDC20378 and drives installed, the Promise onboard
BIOS will detect the drives attached and show the following screen.

and status of the array.

The array status consists of three possible conditions: Functional, Critical, Offline.
Functional - The array is operational.
Critical - A mirrored array contains a drive that has failed or disconnected. The remaining
drive member in the array is functional. However, the array has temporarily lost its ability to
provide fault tolerance. The user should identify the failed drive through the FastBuild™ Setup
utility, and then replace the problem drive.
Offline - A striped array has 1 drive that has failed or been disconnected. When the array
condition is "offline," the user must replace the failed drive(s), then restore data from a backup
source.
