Chapter 2: Installation

3. Install the FastTrak card into the open slot (above).

4. Fasten the FastTrak card bracket to the system case (above).

5. Attach your system case’s 2- or 4-pin LED cable to the LED connector on the

FastTrak card (see the Figures below).

Installing the Disk Drives

The FastTrak SX-Series RAID Controller card supports 1.5-Gb/s and 3.0-Gb/s

Serial ATA disk drives. For optimal performance, install disk drives of the same

model and capacity. The drives’ matched performance allows the logical drive to

function better as a single drive.

The table above shows the number of drives required for each RAID level. If you

plan to create a mirror (RAID 1) for protection, you can use two new drives OR

use an existing drive and a new drive. The new drive must be the same size or

larger than the existing drive.

1. Install the disk drives into the disk drive bays of your system.

If you are using SuperSwap Enclosures, the SMBus ID of each disk drive

must match the Channel number.

Important

If you wish to include your current bootable Serial ATA drive using

the Windows operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored

(RAID 1) logical drive on your FastTrak card, do NOT connect the

disk drive to the FastTrak yet. You MUST install the Windows

driver software first onto this drive while it is still attached to your

existing disk drive controller.

Level Number of Drives

RAID 0 2 or more

RAID 1 2 only

RAID 5 3 or more

RAID 10 4 only

JBOD 1 or more

1 2 ... 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ... 67 68
