Creating a Security Array with an Existing Data Drive
NOTE:
FastTrak100 permits only two drives to be used for a single
Mirrored array in Auto Setup. If more drives are physically attached to
the card, the Mirroring option will not be available.
You would use this method if you wish to use a drive that already
contains data and/or is the bootable system drive in your system. You
will need another drive of identical or larger storage capacity.
WARNING
: Backup any necessary data before
proceeding. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice
could result in data loss.
WARNING
: If you wish to include your current bootable
drive using the Windows NT 4.x or Windows 2000
operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1)
array on your FastTrak100, do NOT connect the hard
drive to the FastTrak100 controller yet. You MUST install the Windows
NT4 or 2000 driver software first (see page 46) to this drive while it is
still attached to your existing hard drive controller. For all other
Operating Systems, proceed here.
Follow these steps:
1. Using the Spacebar, choose “Security” under the
Optimize Array
for
section.
2. Press <Ctrl-Y> keys to save your selection. The window below will
appear.
