Setting user preferences

Select User preferences from the File menu. A window appears that you can use to specify the following
settings:
Initialization settings
Remote access settings
Alarm settings
Initialization settings: Initializing a logical drive erases the first 1024 sectors on the drive and prevents
access to any data previously stored on the drive. The default setting is checked. When this mode is
enabled, the ServeRAID Manager program automatically initializes each new logical drive and prevents
access to the manual initialization function.
1. Click the Initialization settings tab.
2. Click the check box to enable or disable automatic initialization of logical drives.
3. Click OK.
Attention: If you uncheck (that is, disable) automatic initialization, the Manager will not initialize each
logical drive (by writing zeros to the first 1024 sectors of the logical drive) when it is created. You must
still initialize all newly defined logical drives before storing data.
Remote access settings: If you want to run the ServeRAID Manager program in local-only mode:
1. Click the Remote access settings tab.
2. Check the Local only box. If you select this option, the port number entry field will gray out.
3. Click OK.
The next time you start the Manager, TCP/IP networking will be disabled. In local-only mode, you cannot
monitor any remote systems and no remote systems can monitor your system.
If you want to run the ServeRAID Manager program in Networking mode:
1. Click the Remote access settings tab.
2. If the the Local only box is checked, uncheck it.
3. If you have a conflict with the default port number, type a new port number in the entry field. The
default port number is 34571.
4. Click OK.
