Using The FastCheck™ Monitoring Utility
You can monitor the operating status of all arrays and drives configured on the
RAID Function 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
RAID Function IDE channel (1 or 2) and setting (Master/Slave/Cable-Select). 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.
