FastTrak TX4000 User Manual

Chapter 3: FastBuild Configuration Utility

Making a FastTrak TX4000 Disk Array Bootable

Warning

If you plan to boot from an array on the FastTrak TX4000,

you must configure the system BIOS Setup to use the

FastTrak TX4000 as a bootable device (rather than the

onboard controller or another add-in card).

This option is not available if the FastTrak TX4000 is being

used as a secondary controller.

Once you have returned to the Define Array Menu window (below), you will see

the array(s) you have created. You now may use the menu to select which

previously-defined array will be used as the bootable array.

1. Highlight the array that you want to boot from using the ↑ Up ↓ Down keys.

2. Press the Spacebar.

3. An asterisk (*) appears next to the array number indicating it as bootable.

The system will now recognize this array as the first array seen.

4. The system will then use this bootable array as the (fixed) boot C: drive.

Note

The bootable array must contain your configured

operating system...
