When enabled, if the RAID controller detects an error, the boot process will stop when the FastTrak BIOS appears and wait for your input. At that point, you can press <Ctrl>+<F> to enter the FastBuild utility or press <ESC> to continue booting.

When disabled, the FastTrak BIOS will appear and show the Critical array, but the computer will continue booting if you take no action.
