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 -

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

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.

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.

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.

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 check time to any other value allows the controller to check – at the selected time
interval – all array hard drives. If any drive is then removed, the controller will be able to
know – even if no host accesses that drive.

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.

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.

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