will display pop-up alert dialogs when events occur. On Linux machines, a

You can adjust the agent general settings with the following steps:
1. In the ServeRAID Manager Agent window, click the General settings tab.
2. In the Agent base port number field, enter the port number for the ServeRAID
Manager agent and console. The default port is 34571.
Note: For accessing remote systems, the ServeRAID Manager uses four
consecutive ports starting from the base port: 34571, 34572, 34573, and
34574. If your system has a conflict with these ports, change the base
port to a different port number.
3. To log events to the operating system event log, click Save events in OS event
log.
Note: You can use the View agent event log option to view the event log. You
can also use operating system administration tools to view the event log.

5. Select the check box to enable or disable the alarm. When a critical or fatal
