Checking CMOS Settings
No changes are necessary in the Mainboard CMOS Setup for resources or drive types. Since
MBFastTrak133 Lite is a PCI Plug-n-Play (PnP) device, the Interrupt and Port address resources are
automatically assigned by the Mainboard’s PCI PnP BIOS.
The MBFastTrak133 Lite system resources including port address, interrupt, and BIOS address are
automatically determined by the system PnP BIOS. To customize IRQ settings, enter the Mainboard
BIOS’s Advanced PCI setup and follow the manufacturer’s procedures. When the system is limited by IRQ
resources, the MBFastTrak133 Lite can be set for the same IRQ as other PCI cards that support PCI
interrupt sharing.
For the MBFastTrak133 Lite to be the bootable IDE controller, confirm in the mainboard’s Standard CMOS
Setup that the drive types (for hard disk drives) are set for “Unknown Device” or “Not Installed” (see below).
If there is a “Hard-Disk Drive Sequence,” place the MBFastTrak133 Lite controller as the second choice in
searching for a bootable device. No changes are needed for CD-ROM drives that are attached to the
mainboard IDE controller.

Creating Your Disk Array
You will now use the FastBuild BIOS utility to create your array using the attached drives. There are three
different scenarios in creating this array. You can create an array for performance, you can create a Security
array using new hard drives (recommended), or you can create a Security array using an existing hard drive
and a new hard drive.
WARNING
: If creating a Security array using an existing hard drive, backup any necessary
data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.
1. Boot your system. If this is the first time you have booted with the MBFastTrak133 Lite and drives
installed, the Promise onboard BIOS will display the following screen.
