Chapter 2: Installation

If you are using a Promise SuperSwap 1100 or 4100 enclosure in your PC:

• Connect the power cables to the SuperSwap enclosure.

• Attach a SMBus cable from the Management Connector on the

FastTrak card to the Management Connector on the first enclosure

These actions are described in Chapter 2 of the SuperSwap User Manual.

Create Your Logical Disk

You will now use the onboard FastBuild™ BIOS utility to create your logical disk

using the attached drives. There are four different ways to create this logical disk.

You can create a logical disk for:

• Performance (page 12)

• Security, using new disk drives (recommended) (page 13)

• Security, using an existing disk drive and a new one (page 14)

• Security, using Quick Initialization (page 16)

The first three steps are the same for all four choices. After that, follow the steps

for the logical disk you want to create.

1. Boot your system. If this is the first time you have booted with the FastTrak

TX2200 or TX4200 RAID Controller card and drives installed, the Promise

onboard BIOS will display the following screen.

2. Press the Ctrl-F keys to display the FastBuild Utility Main Menu.

3. Press "1" to display the Auto Setup Menu below. This is the fastest and

easiest method to creating your first logical disk.

Note

The FastTrak TX2200 and TX4200 RAID Controllers are PCI

Plug-n-Play (PnP) devices. No changes are necessary in the

Motherboard CMOS Setup for resources or drive types in most

applications.
