A RAID system consists of many physical drives that can be
modified and configured as the members of one or several logical
drives.
Press the front panel ENT button for
two seconds to enter the Main Menu.
Use ▼ or ▲ to navigate through the
menus. Choose "View and Edit SCSI
Drives," then press ENT.
Use ▼ or ▲ to scroll down the list of
connected drives’ information screens.
You may first examine whether there is any drive installed but not
shown here. If there is a drive installed but not listed, the drive may
be defective or not installed correctly, please check your enclosure
installation and contact your system vendor.
Press ENT on a drive. Choose "View
Drive Information" by pressing ENT.
Use ▼ or ▲ to navigate through the
screens.
The Revision Number of the selected
SCSI drive will be shown. Press ▼ to
see other information.
Other information screens include
"Serial Number" and "Disk Capacity"
(displayed in blocks- each block equals
512K Bytes).
IMPORTANT!
•
Drives of the same brand/model/capacity might not have the same block
number.
•
The basic read/write unit of a hard drive is block. If members of a logical
drive have different block numbers (capacity), the smallest block number
will be taken as the maximum capacity to be used in every drive.
Therefore, use drives of the same capacity.
•
You may assign a Local/Global Spare Drive to a logical drive whose
members has a block number equal or smaller than the Local/Global
Spare Drive but you should not do the reverse.
