To create a new array automatically, follow the steps under “Creating Arrays Automatically” on page 17. Promise recommends this option for most users.

To manually create an array or define an array as bootable, follow the steps under “Manually Creating Arrays” on page 22. You will need to manually create an array if you wish to modify block size.

To view drives assigned to arrays, see “Viewing Drive Assignments” on page 21.

To delete an array (but not delete the data contained on the array), select “Deleting An Array” on page 28.

To rebuild a mirrored array, see “Rebuilding an Array” on page 30.

To view controller settings, see “Viewing Controller Configuration” on page 32.

NOTE: After installing the FastTrak100 card and configuring an array using FastBuild, you should FDISK and format the arrayed drive(s) if you are using new, blank drives.
