Checking CMOS Settings
The FastTrak100 controller is a Plug-n-Play device that supports PCI IRQ sharing. In order to make the
RAID array bootable, make sure that in the CMOS, drive types are set to "Unknown" or "Not Installed"
(see p. 31, section 3.2-B). You should also change the order of boot devices (see p. 33, section 3.3) so
that the FastTrak100 RAID array is the second choice as a bootable device.
Creating your disk array
You can now use the FastBuild BIOS Utility to create your drive array. Three possibilities exist: you can
create an array for performance; you can create a Security array with new hard drives (recommended); or
you can create a Security array using your old hard drive and a new one.
If you are planning to use your old hard drive, backup all necessary data first. Always
NOTE: backup the data on an existing hard drive if you are planning to use it in a new sys-
tem configuration.
Boot your system. If this is the first time you have booted with the FastTrak100 with drives
