Figure 13: Assigning Bootable Array

Disk Array Recognition Order

During startup, the disk arrays on the SuperTrak66 are recognized in this order:

1)The array set to bootable in the SuperBuildT M setup

2)By the Array number (i.e. Array 1, Array 2…). This would be involved in determining which drive letters will be assigned to each disk array.

Saved Disk Array Information

NOTE: Promise suggests that users record their disk array information for future reference.

All disk array data is saved within the reserved sector of each arrayed drive.

Another feature of the SuperTrak66 disk array system is to recognize drive members even if drives are moved to different IDE channels on SuperTrak66. Since each drive’s array data identifies itself to the array, it is possible to reorder the drives without modifying the array setup. This is valuable when adding drives, or during a rebuild.

3.6 Delete Array

By pressing [4] from the “Main Menu” screen, the “Delete Array Menu” screen is displayed (see below).
