Step 5: Create Your Disk Array
You will now use the onboard FastBuild BIOS utility to create your first array
using the attached drives. For an explanation of the array options, see Chapter 3
of the FastTrak S150 SX4 / SX4000 / SX4000 Lite User Manual.

manage your array, you must still create your first array using
the FastBuild Utility, as described here.
