FastTrak Utilities Installation
===============================

There are 3 components of the FastTrak Utility.
1. FastCheck
2. FastTrak Log Service for NT
2. FastTrak DMI Service for NT

The FastCheck utility is used to monitor or perform maintenance
on a FastTrak Mirrored (RAID 1) or Striped/Mirrored (RAID 0/1) 
array. Visual and audible messages are available to warn of 
possible problems with the disk array or controller. This utility
runs under Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, and Windows NT 4.0.

The FastTrak Log Service runs as a background service process
under Windows NT, and performs the logging operations to the
NT Event Log. This can be used in Server operations, where
a user may not be logged in, and the interactive FastCheck
utility may not be running.

The FastTrak DMI Service runs as a background service process
under Windows NT, and allows the FastTrak to be seen as a
component under DMI 2.0 ready systems. The FastTrak DMI Service 
requires a DMI Service Provider to be installed in order to run.

Installation
============

From the Start Button, choose the Run button. In the Run dialog
box, type in "A:\SETUP.EXE" and click "OK". Under Windows NT
3.51, from Program Manager go to the "File" menu and then choose
"Run". In the Run dialog box, type in "A:\SETUP.EXE" and click 
"OK". (NOTE: UltraTune will not run under Windows NT 3.5x).

Follow the directions from the setup program.
You may choose a complete install, which will install both utilities,
or a custom install in which you can choose which of the utilities
you wish to install. If you will be installing the FastCheck utility
Promise recommends to load the utility during startup. This ensures
you that it will be ready to post alerts on errors. During 
installation, click "Yes" when prompted to run the utility on every 
startup. The utility will appear minimized as a taskbar tray 
icon and does not take desktop space. If no is answered it will 
not run during startup. You may manually run the utility through 
the Start button.

For Windows NT 4.0, setup will install both the FastTrak device 
driver and the FastCheck utility. To install the FastTrak device 
driver for all other operating systems, please refer to the 
FastTrak manual.
