FastTrak S150 TX2plus User Manual
Creating a Security Array with Quick Initialization
Caution
With some models of hard drives, if the Master hard drive fails, it may cause the Slave hard drive to be unrecognized by the computer's operating system. Where a RAID 1 (Mirroring) array exists on the Master/Slave pair, this condition may cause the operating system to freeze.
Do NOT create a RAID 1 (Mirroring) array with two Parallel ATA hard drives using the Master/Slave arrangement on Channel 3 (the Parallel ATA port).
You can create a RAID 1 (Mirroring) array by combining hard drives on:
•Channels 1 and 2 (Serial ATA only)
•Channels 1 and 3 (one Serial, one Parallel)
•Channels 2 and 3 (one Serial, one Parallel)
Use this setting to create a Mirrored (RAID 1) array with one or two existing hard drives containing data that you do not want to keep. This method creates a mirrored array and erases the first data block from your existing drives.
Warning
Using the Quick Initialization option on existing drives will result in the loss of all data on those drives.
Note
When creating a Security array with new drives, a feature called Gigabyte Boundary will automatically be set to ON. For a description of this feature, see page 23.

1.Press the Spacebar to choose Security under the Optimize Array for section.
