Q: Do I have to install disk management software on my array in order to
access the full storage capacity of drives?
A: No! Disk management software will only complicate things. The array
should be fully addressable by your OS as it is. Remember that some
operating systems have varying limits on the sizes of partitions and logical
drives that can be defined. Consult your OS documentation about
partitioning larger drives.
Q: What system BIOS setup settings do I use for the drives on the FastTrak
S150 SX4 or SX4000 / SX4000 Lite controller?
A: None. The drives on the FastTrak Controller are supported by the FastTrak
BIOS and/or OS drivers, not by your system BIOS.
Q: How do I partition/format my FastTrak S150 SX4 or SX4000 / SX4000 Lite
RAID array?
A: The FastTrak Controller represents the array as a single HDD to your
system. Therefore, anything that you can do to a single HDD you can do to
a FastTrak array.
For example, you should use the FDISK and FORMAT utilities to partition
and format the array. You can partition the array as you see fit. You can
format the array with any file system you wish.
