WARNING: If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the Windows NT 4.x or Windows 2000 operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your system, do NOT connect the hard drive to the motherboard controller yet. You MUST install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver software first (see Raid Manual of the TUCD) to this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard drive controller. For all other Operating Systems, proceed here. Follow these steps: 1. Using the Spacebar, choose “Security” under the Optimize Array for section. 2. Press keys to Save your selection.

For purposes of this manual, it is assumed you have already created an array in the previous chapter and now wish to make a change to the array or view other options. Viewing BIOS Screen When you boot your system with the Raid function and drives installed, the FastBuild BIOS will detect the drives attached and show the following screen.

If an array exists already, the BIOS will display the following screen showing the board RAID BIOS version and status of the array.

The array status consists of three possible conditions: Functional, Critical, Offline. Functional - The array is operational. Critical - A mirrored array contains a drive that has failed or disconnected. The remaining drive member in the array is functional. However, the array has temporarily lost its ability to provide fault tolerance. The user should identify the failed drive through the FastBuild. Setup utility, and then replace the problem drive. Offline - A striped array has 1 drive that has failed or been disconnected. When the array condition is “offline,” the user must replace the failed drive(s), then restore data from a backup source. 70 6RX Series Motherboard Navigating the FastBuild™ Setup Menu When using the menus, these are some of the basic navigation tips: Arrow keys highlights through choices; [Space] bar key allows to cycle through options; [Enter] key selects an option; [ESC] key is used to abort or exit the current menu.
