SuperTrak SX6000™ User Manual Chapter 3

1.1 View/Define Array

By pressing [2] on the “Main Menu” screen, the “Define Array Menu” screen is

displayed (see below). This screen may already display existing arrays. The “Define

Array Menu” screen allows users to manually begin the process of defining both drive

elements and RAID levels for each disk array. Users will commonly create one or two

drive arrays with SuperTrak SX6000.

To manually create arrays from the “Define Array Menu” below, use the arrow keys to

highlight an array number you wish to define, and press [Enter] to select. The “Define

Array Definition Menu” will next appear that allows drive assignments to the disk array

(see Page 19).

NOTE: Promise recommends that if you are creating a single array using SuperTrak

without a "hot" spare drive, do so through the “Auto Setup” screen under selection [1] of

the “Main Menu”.
