Section 1: RAID Hardware (Internal and External)
? This section will cover basic information about DocSTAR internal and external RAID
hardware
Both the Internal and External RAID devices use IDE (ATA-II) hard drives set as Master.
Internal RAID Hardware
The Internal RAID device is setup as a RAID Level 1 device. This means that it uses
‘Disk Mirroring.’ The Internal RAID device uses a Promise Fasttrak66 PCI IDE RAID
Controller card to write the data to IDE channel 1 and IDE channel 2 simultaneously. It
also uses 2 hot-swappable drive bays, 2 hot-swappable drive carriers with IDE (ATA-II)
hard drives, set as Master, installed in each, and 2 IDE cables. The cable connection to
the card is shown below.
The Promise Controller card must be installed into an open PCI slot in the Host DocSTAR
unit and the blue connector on each of the (2) IDE cables, is connected to the card. The
other end of the cable is connected to the back of the drive bay as shown below. Connect
the top drive bay to IDE1 and the bottom drive bay to IDE2 on the Promise RAID
Controller Card.
