Each function is executed by a two-step procedure: Click to select a desired value from the pull-down menu and click the Apply button for the configuration to take effect. Some configuration changes may only take effect after resetting the subsystem.

See below for configuration with Drive-Side Parameters, click here for Host-Side and Disk-Array Parameters.



- Drive-Side Parameters -


Disk Access Delay Time(Sec): Sets the delay time before the subsystem tries to access the hard
drives after power-on. Default is 15 seconds.

Drive Check Period(Sec): is the time interval for the controller to check all disk drives that were on the drive busses at controller startup. The default value is “Disabled.” “Disabled” means that if a drive is removed from the bus, the controller will not be able to know – so long as no host accesses that drive. Changing the checking time to any other value allows the controller to check at the selected time interval for all array hard drives. If any drive is then removed, the controller will be able to know even if no host accesses that drive.

Auto-assign Global Spare Drive: Enable or disable the auto-assign global spare drive functionality.

Drive Motor Spin Up: Selected when hard drives need to "Spin-up by drive command". By default, all hard drives will start spinning up when powered-on. Also refer to the documentation that came with your hard drives.

SMART: This allows you to configure SMART-related functionality. SMART is short for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. Click here for more information about SMART.

SAF-TE/SES Device Check Period(Sec): If there are enclosure devices in your RAID enclosure being monitored via SAF-TE/SES, use this function to decide at what interval the subsystem will check the status of these devices.

Disk I/O Timeout(Sec): is the time interval for the subsystem to wait for a drive to respond to I/O requests. Selectable intervals range from 1 to 10 seconds.

SAF-TE/SES Device Check Period(Sec): Set a time interval for SES device checking.

Drive Fail Swap Check Period(Sec): The subsystem scans drive busses at this interval to check if a failed
drive has been replaced.

Maximum Tag Count: The subsystem supports tag command queuing with an adjustable
maximum tag count from 1 to 128. The default setting is “Enabled” with a maximum tag count of 32.
