MUST be loaded to the hard drive while it is still attached to your existing hard drive
controller. Do not attach this drive or any other hard drive to the FastTrak 376
controller before completing this step.

Using FastBuild™ Configuration Utility
The FastBuild™ Configuration Utility offers several menu choices to create and
manage the drive array on the Promise FastTrak 376. For purposes of this manual, it is

a change to the array or view other options.

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), and then
restore data from a backup source.
