FastTrak S150 TX2plus User Manual

If you plan to create multiple arrays,

1. Attach only the drives necessary to create the first disk array and complete

the Auto Setup (1).

2. Install the additional drives needed for the second array and again use the

Auto Setup (1).

Note

If you wish to customize the settings of individual disk

arrays (such as block size), you must manually create disk

arrays with the Define Array (3) option from the Main Menu.

Viewing Drive Assignments

The View Drive Assignments (2) option in the Main Menu displays whether

drives are assigned to a disk array or are unassigned.

Under the Assignment column, drives are labeled with their assigned disk array

or shown as Free if unassigned. Such Free drives can be used for a future array

or used as a spare drive when a drive fails in a mirrored array, provided the free

drive’s capacity is equal to or larger than the smallest array member.

Unassigned drives are not accessible by the OS. The menu also displays the

data transfer mode that relates to speed used by each drive (U5 refers to

100MB/sec transfers, U4 refers to 66MB/sec transfers, etc...)
