To create a new array automatically, follow the steps under “Creating Arrays Automatically” on
page 16. Promise recommends this option for most users.
To manually create an array or define an array as bootable, follow the steps under “Manually
Creating Arrays” on page 19. You will need to manually create an array if you wish to modify
block size.
To view drives assigned to arrays, see “Viewing Drive Assignments” on page 18.
To delete an array (but not delete the data contained on the array), select “Deleting An Array”
on page 26.

NOTE: After installing the FastTrak TX2000 card and configuring an array using
FastBuild, you should FDISK and format the arrayed drive(s) if you are using
new, blank drives
