Disk Array Recognition Order
During computer startup, the disk arrays on the FastTrak Controller card are
recognized in this order:
•
The bootable array, designated in the FastBuild setup.
•
Other arrays by their numbers (such as Array 1, Array 2...).
Array Recognition Order determines the order in which each array is assigned
the next available drive letter.
By way of example, say that your PC boots from its internal disk drive and has a
CD-ROM Drive. In addition, you have a FastTrak S150 TX4 with two arrays,
Array1 and Array2. When your system boots, the internal disk drive will be C:, the
CD-ROM will be D:, Array1 will be E: and Array2 will be F:.
Saved Disk Array Information
All disk array data is saved within the reserved sector of each arrayed drive.
Another feature of the FastTrak disk array system is to recognize drive members
even if drives are moved to different channels on the FastTrak Controller card.
Since each drive’s array data identifies itself to the array, it is possible to reorder
the drives without modifying the array setup. This is valuable when adding drives,
or during a rebuild.
Note
Promise suggests that you record information about your disk
array(s) for future reference.
