Step 4: Creating Your Disk Array
The FastBuild Configuration Utility offers several menu choices to create and
manage the drive array on the Promise FastTrak TX4000 adapter.
Navigating the FastBuild Setup Menu
When using the menus, these are some of the basic navigation tips: Arrow keys
highlights through choices; the Space bar allows to cycle through options; Enter
selects an option; Esc aborts or exits the current menu.
This is the first option screen when entering the FastBuild Setup.
