SuperTrak EX8300, EX8350 Quick Start Guide
Step 3: Install the Disk Drives
The SuperTrak EX-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.
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.
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 SuperTrak card, do NOT connect
the disk drive to the SuperTrak yet. You MUST install the Windows
driver software first onto this drive while it is still attached to your
existing disk drive controller.

If you plan to use a removable disk drive enclosures other than
Promise Technology's SuperSwap, be sure it meets the SAF-TE
standard. Other enclosures are not supported and may result in
performance loss or other undesired results.
