Creating a Security Array with New Drives
Use this setting to create a Mirrored (RAID 1) array with two new hard drives. If
one of the drives has data on it, follow the Creating a Security Array with an
Existing Data Drive procedure on the next page.
Note
When creating a Security array with new drives, a feature called
Gigabyte Boundary will automatically be set to ON. For a
description of this feature, see page 23 in the User Manual.
To create an array for data protection using new hard drives, follow these steps:
1. Press the Spacebar to choose Security under the Optimize Array for
section.
2. Press Ctrl-Y to Save your selection.
3. The window below will appear.
Do you want the disk image to be
duplicated to another or do quick
initialize or create only?
Y - Create and Duplicate
N - Create Only
I - Create and Quick Initialize
4. Press N for the Create Only option.
5. A window will appear almost immediately confirming that your Security array
has been created. Press any key to reboot the system.
Array has been created.
6. Proceed with normal FDISK and format procedures as if you had just
installed a new hard drive.
7. Once the arrayed drives have been formatted, proceed to Chapter 4 of this
Manual to install your operating system and/or FastTrak driver.
