FastCheck Win 95/98/NT Monitoring Utility
Once FastTrak66 is installed and operational, the FastCheck Utility is used to moni-
tor the operating status of all arrays and drives configured on the FastTrak66.
Visual and audible messages are available to warn of possible problems with the
disk array or controller. In addition, FastCheck visually identifies the physical loca-
tion of attached drives on the FastTrak66 by IDE channel and identifies which
drives are included as part of individual arrays. Finally, administrators can custom-
ize FastCheck to maintain operating logs and event notification, set Password ac-
cess to the utility, and schedule maintenance on Mirrored (RAID 1) or a Striped/
Mirrored (RAID 0/1) arrays.
