5.4.3 Creating a RAID 0 Array
1. In the FastBuild™ Utility Main Menu, select Auto Setup [1]. The screen
below is displayed. The Auto Setup Options Menu configures hard disks
for RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays. These selections assign all available
drives that are appropriate for the new array and configures data formats
and the IDE channels.
2. Go to the field Optimize Array for: and select Performance using the
arrow and space keys. The Mode field displays Stripe.
3. After making the selection, use <Ctrl-Y> to save it. FastBuild™
automatically constructs the RAID 0 array.
4. Then “Press Any Key to Reboot” appears. Reboot the system and the
FastTrak376™ “Lite” BIOS checks and displays the status of the new
array:
5. To finish installation of your new Operating System to the RAID 0 array,
reboot with a floppy disk to format the hard disks with the FDISK command
and then install the OS from a CD; alternatively, with a bootable OS CD,
you may install the new OS automatically. As you install the OS, the
system always treats the RAID 0 array of hard disks as if they are a
single drive unit.
