System:
Each function is executed by a two-step procedure: Click the select button of the function you wish to perform and click the Apply button for the configuration to take effect.
- System -
Mute Beeper: Turns beeper off temporarily for the current event. The
beeper will still be activated when next event occurs. Be sure that you have
checked carefully the cause of the event.
Reset Controller: Resets the subsystem without powering off.
Shutdown Controller: This prepares the subsystem to be powered
off. This function flushes the unfinished writes still cached in controller
memory making it safe to turn off the subsystem.
Force Primary/Secondary Controller Failure: This function forces
one controller to assume an off-line state and let its partner take over work
load. Only used for debug purposes.
Restore Factory Default: No matter what RAID configuration you have made, select this option to restore all factory settings.
- Download/Upload

Download FW: Subsystem firmware can be upgraded using the existing
management connection (Ethernet or in-band). After you provide the file name
of the firmware by browsing the file location, the manager will start download
the firmware. Find an appropriate time to stop temporarily access from host
systems, then reset the controller in order to use the new downloaded firmware.
Download FW+BR: This option allows you to download firmware
and boot record together. However, upgrade boot record maybe unnecessary when
you update your firmware binaries. Please refer to the readme file that came
with the firmware version.
Download NVRAM from Host Disk: The subsystem configuration
is saved in NVRAM and can be saved to a system drive. This function allows you
to retrieve previously saved configuration profile from a system disk.
Upload NVRAM to Host Disk: This option allows you to backup
your controller-dependent configuration information to a system drive. We strongly
recommend using this function to save configuration profile whenever a configuration
change is made.
Save NVRAM to Disk: The configuration profile can be saved
to array hard drives. Each array hard drive will have a replica of NVRAM backup
in its reserved space so that when a drive fails or is being regrouped, the
backup remains intact.
Restore NVRAM from Disk: Retrieve the previously saved NVRAM
backup from array hard drives. When this option is applied, user can decide
whether to restore with or without password through user interface (terminal)
according to individual requirement.
Apply: Click this button for the configurations to take effect.
