Step 3: The blue end of the cable (see Figure I-2 to the
right for an example) goes to the RAID connector on the
motherboard (see p. 10 for location). Make sure Pin 1 of
the ATA-66 cable connects to Pin 1 of the Promise RAID
IDE connector (see p. 10 for location). Check all
connections after completing this step, before you continue
to the next part of the installation.

Checking CMOS Settings
The FastTrak100 controller is a Plug-n-Play device that supports PCI IRQ sharing. In order to
make the RAID array bootable, make sure that in the CMOS, drive types are set to “Unknown” or
“Not Installed” (see section 3.2-B). You should also change the order of boot devices (see section
3.5) so that the FastTrak100 RAID array is the second choice as a bootable device.
Creating your disk array
You can now use the FastBuild BIOS Utility to create y our drive array. Three possibilities exist:
you can create an array for performance; you can create a Security array with new hard drives
(recommended); or you can create a Security array using your old hard drive and a new one.
Boot your system. If this is the first time you have booted with the FastTrak100 with drives
installed, the Promise onboard BIOS will display the following screen.
Press <Ctrl-F> keys to display the FastBuild (tm) Utility Main Menu
Press “1” to display the Auto Setup Menu (shown below). This is the fastest and easiest method to
creating your first array.
Creating an array for Performance (RAID 0)
FastTrak100 allows users to create striped arrays with 1, 2, 3, or 4 drives. To create your array,
follow the steps outlined below.
Step 1: Choose Performance under the Optimize Array section.
Step 2: Select how you will use your PC the mode under the Typical Application usage section.
The choices are A/V Editing, Server, and Desktop (the default).
Step 3: Press <Ctrl-Y> keys to Save and create the array.
Step 4: Reboot the system.
Step 5: Proceed to install the drivers from the driver disk.
Note: FaskTrak100 permits only two drives to be used for a single Mirrored Array in Auto Setup. If
a third drive is attached, it becomes a “hot” spare drive. If four drives are attached, the Mirroring
option will not be available at all
Creating a Security Array with New Drives (RAID 1)
To create an array for data protection using new hard drives, use the following steps.
Step 1: Choose Security under the Optimize Array for section.
