AMD 4118 specifications Using FastBuild Configuration Utility, Viewing Bios Screen

7ZXR Motherboard

Using FastBuild™ Configuration Utility

The FastBuildTM Configuration Utility offers several menu choices to create and manage the drive array on the motherboard. For purposes of this manual, it is assumed you have already created an array in the previous chapter and now wish to make a change to the array or view other options.

Viewing BIOS Screen

When you boot your system with the Raid function and drives installed, the FastBuild BIOS will detect the drives attached and show the following screen.

FastTrak100 (tm)”Lite” BIOS Version 1.xx (Build xx)

If an array exists already, the BIOS will display the following screen showing the board RAID BIOS version and status of the array.

FastTrak100 (tm) “Lite”BIOS Version 1.xx (Build xxxx)

The array status consists of three possible conditions: Functional, Critical, Offline.

Functional - The array is operational.

Critical - A mirrored array contains a drive that has failed or disconnected. The remaining drive member in the array is functional. However, the array has temporarily lost its ability to provide fault tolerance. The user should identify the failed drive through the FastBuild Setup utility, and then replace the problem drive.

Offline - A striped array has 1 drive that has failed or been disconnected. When the array condition is “offline,” the user must replace the failed drive(s), then restore data from a backup source.
