Making the Internal RAID Device the Boot drive

Using the Internal RAID as the boot drive offers the advantage of fault tolerance.

However, it is not necessary for Two-Tier Storage. To make the Internal RAID device the

boot drive you must enter the Motherboard BIOS and set the Primary/Secondary Master &

Slave drives to ‘None.’ It is recommended that you partition the Internal RAID for a 4GB

boot partition and the remainder for data storage if it will be the boot drive. You will have

to install the operating system on the boot partition as well as DocSTAR software and any

other necessary drivers and software.

Internal RAID Software

In addition to the above-mentioned components, the Internal RAID device comes with (2)

floppy disks containing software. The first disk contains the driver software for Windows

to recognize the Promise Fasttrak66 RAID Controller. The second disk contains the

FastCheck Monitoring Utility software.

Upon first installation of the Promise Fasttrak66 RAID Controller, Windows will display a

screen requesting the driver software for this device. You may insert the first floppy disk

labeled ‘Driver disk’ or ‘Disk 1 of 2.’

Once the driver has been installed and the system has been rebooted, you may use the

second disk, labeled ‘Utility Disk’ or ‘Disk 2 of 2,’ to install the FastCheck Utility software.

Insert the floppy disk into the floppy drive and select ‘Run’ from the start menu. Type

A:\Setup.exe and the setup program will be launched.

The FastCheck Monitoring Utility will run as a background task from this point on and will

display an icon in the System Tray as shown below:
