Install the Disk Drives
The FastTrak TX2200 card supports up to two Serial ATA drives while the
TX4200 card supports up to four. For optimal performance, install Serial ATA
drives of the same model and capacity. The drives' matched performance allows
the logical disk to function better as a single drive.
If you are using stripe (RAID 0) for performance, use up to four new drives. If
using mirror (RAID 1) for protection, you can use two new drives OR use an
existing drive and a new drive (the new drive must be the same size or larger
than the existing drive).
1. Install the disk drives into the drive bays of your system.
2. Attach the power cables to the disk drives..
Important
If you wish to include your current bootable Serial ATA drive using
the Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003 operating system as part of
a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) logical disk on your FastTrak card,
do NOT connect the disk drive to the FastTrak yet.
You MUST install the Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003 driver
software first onto this drive while it is still attached to your existing
disk drive controller.
Caution
Use of removable disk drive enclosures other than Promise
Technology's SuperSwap is not supported and may result in
performance loss or other undesired results.
