Creating Your Disk Array
You will now use the onboard FastBuild BIOS utility to create your array using the
attached drives. There are three different scenarios in creating this array. You can
create an array for performance, you can create a Security array using new hard
drives (recommended), or you can create a Security array using an existing hard
drive and a new hard drive.
WARNING: If creating a Security array using an existing hard drive,
backup any necessary data. Failure to follow this accepted PC
practice could result in data loss.
1. Boot your system. If this is the first time you have booted with the FastTrak100
card and drives installed, the Promise onboard BIOS will display the following
screen.
