FastTrak SX4000 Lite
Step 4: Install the Hard Drives
Important
If you wish to include your current bootable Serial ATA drive using the Windows XP operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your FastTrak card, do NOT connect the hard drive to the FastTrak yet.
You MUST install the Windows XP driver software first onto this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard drive controller.
The FastTrak SX4000 Lite RAID Controller card supports only (Parallel) ATA hard drives.
If you are striping (RAID 0) for performance, use up to four new drives. If mirroring (RAID 1) for protection, you can use two new drives OR use an existing drive and a new drive (the new drive must be the same size or larger than the existing drive). If you are planning a RAID 5 array, use three or four new drives.
1.Set your hard drives to Master,
2.Install the hard drives into the hard drive bays of your system.
Caution
Use of removable hard drive enclosures other than Promise Technology’s SuperSwap is not supported and may result in performance loss or other undesired results.
3.Attach the black end of the Ultra ATA cable to each hard drive. Then attach the blue end to the ATA connectors on the FastTrak card (see Figure 2, below).
