Making a FastTrak TX4000 Disk Array Bootable
Warning
If you plan to boot from an array on the FastTrak TX4000,
you must configure the system BIOS Setup to use the
FastTrak TX4000 as a bootable device (rather than the
onboard controller or another add-in card).
This option is not available if the FastTrak TX4000 is being
used as a secondary controller.
Once you have returned to the Define Array Menu window (below), you will see
the array(s) you have created. You now may use the menu to select which
previously-defined array will be used as the bootable array.
