5-1.3 Creating A Security (Mirror) Array With An Existing Data
Drive
FastTrak100-Lite on board permits only two drives to be used for a single
Mirroring array with FastBuild Utility.
Checkpoints before creating a Security Array:
(1) You may use a drive that is containing data or a bootable O/S. Then you will
need another new drive of identical or larger storage capacity.
(2) Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow this accepted
PC practice could result in data loss.
(3) If you wish to include your current bootable drive holding Window NT 4.x
or Windows 2000 O/S as part of a bootable Mirroring (RAID 1) array on
your FastTrak100-Lite controller , you SHOULD first install the Windows
NT4 or 2000 driver software to this drive while it is still attached to your
system hard drive controller (e.g. IDE1/IDE2). For all other Operating
Systems except Win NT4.0 and 2000, you can proceed with your hard driver(s)
connected to IDE3/DIE4.
1. Boot your system with FastTrak100-Lite Controller enabled by JP11
and your hard drive(s) connected to IDE3/IDE4. Suppose this is
the first time to create a Disk Array. The Promise BIOS on board with
FastBuild Utility built in will scan the IDE devices and display the result
as below:
FastTrak100-Lite (tm) BIOS Version 1.xx (Build xxxx)
(c) 1995-2000 Promise Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
No array is defined...
Press <Ctrl-F> to enter FastBuild (tm) Utility
Or press <ESC> key to continue booting the system.
2. Press <Ctrl-F> keys to display the FastBuild (tm) Utility Main Menu.
