Using Fastcheck Array Window - Gigabyte Promise RAID Function User Manual

5-4 Using FastCheck Array Window

Once FastCheck is selected, the FastCheck Monitoring Utility window will appear.
The main pane has three information window tabs: Array, Controller, and Options. The
user can switch screens by clicking on the tab. The Array Window is the active screen
by default as shown below:
The Array Window (see above) displays information about the arrays configured on
your RAID Function through the FastBuild BIOS. From this window, you can also
perform data Synchronization of mirrored arrays, or Rebuild data from one drive to a
replacement drive within a mirrored array.
While the Array Window does not allow you to change the array configurations
directly, it clearly identifies which drives are associated with each array shown in the
left pane.
Viewing Array Information
By left-clicking on the Array #, the right pane shows the following information
categories for that array:
RAID mode: (Striping, Mirroring)
Mapping: (similar to physical drive specifications) describing # of cylinders,
heads,and sectors of the array's "virtual" drive as seen by the system
Size: Storage capacity of the array.
