Using The FastCheck™ Monitoring Utility

You can monitor the operating status of all configured arrays and drives using the provided

FastCheck monitoring utility designed for Windows-based operating systems. FastCheck

generates visual and audible messages alerting you of possible problems with the disk array

or controller.

FastCheck visually identifies the physical location of the drives attached to the RAID IDE

channel (1 or 2) and setting (Master/Slave/Cable-Select). It also displays the drives that are

included in an individual array. Administrators can customize FastCheck to maintain

operating logs and event notification, set Password access to the utility, and schedule

maintenance on Mirrored (RAID 1) or Striped/Mirrored (RAID 0/1) arrays.

Installing FastCheck

1. Select “Run” from the “Start” menu.

2. Insert the “Promise 20276 RAID Driver” floppy disk (included in the system board

package) into a floppy drive.

3. In the “Run” dialog box, type “A:\” and click OK.

4. Follow the directions of the setup program.

5. During the installation process, click “Yes” if you wish to run the utility every time you

startup. If you select “No”, FastCheck will not initialize during startup. You may manually

execute the utility via the Start button.

NOTE: We recommend that FastCheck be loaded during Startup. This insures you that

it will be ready to post alerts on errors.
