Using The Fastcheck™ Monitoring Utility; Installing Fastcheck - Promise Technology FASTtrak100 TX User Manual

Using The FastCheck™ Monitoring Utility
You can monitor the operating status of all arrays and drives configured on the
FastTrak100 TX/LP series controllers using the supplied FastCheck monitoring utility
for Windows-based operating systems. FastCheck generates visual and audible
messages alerting you of possible problems with the disk array or controller.
FastCheck visually identifies the physical location of attached drives on the
FastTrak100 by IDE channel and setting (Master/Slave). It also displays which drives
are included as part of individual arrays. 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.
