SATA RAID controller configuration
You may configure the SATA RAID controller either before running ServerStart or
with ServerStart. It is recommended to use ServerStart.
Configuring the SATA RAID controller is either performed via the BIOS configu-
ration utility (calling CTRL-F during BIOS POST) or with the ServerStart CD using
PAM (Promise Array Management). More information is contained in the
„FastTrak S150 TX4 User Manual“ on the ServerBooks CD in section
„controllers“.
Activating the hard disk write cache
By default, the hard disk write cache is disabled. This presetting may be
changed. Consequently, not every data modification in main memory is written
to disk immediately, thus boosting system performance during write operations.
When a power failure occurs with enabled write cache, data may be
lost!
The hard disk write cache should always be configured in the same way
for all disk drives.
The hard disk write cache may only be enabled via PAM.
Ê Choose the controller options via PAM and select Disk Parameters.
Ê Deactivate the check box Disable Hard Disk Write Cache.
You will find further information in the SATA RAID controller manual „Promise
Array Management (PAM) for FastTrak S150 TX2plus, S150 TX4 and TX4000
User Manual“.
