VTrak 15200 User Manual
Mode Setting – is the performance level (data transfer speed) at which the disk
drive is running. This statistic applies to Parallel ATA disk drives only. Under
some conditions, a mode setting could be reported for a Serial ATA drive, but it
has no meaning.
Assignment – Indicates whether the disk drive is free or assigned.
• Free means available for use in a logical drive.
• Assigned means that currently belongs to a logical drive.
Note: If you assign a disk drive as a hot spare, its Assignment will still show Free,
since it does not yet belong to a logical drive.
ID – Is the Controller channel to which each disk drive is attached. If you have a
drive on a channel but it does not appear in WebPAM, something is wrong with
the drive or there is a bad connection.
S.M.A.R.T. Status – Refers to Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting
Technology, a form of predictive failure analysis that examines disk drive
behavior for indications of a coming failure.
• Healthy means there are no indications of trouble.
• Alert means there have been indications that the disk drive could fail soon. If
you see an alert, back up your data, then remove and test the disk drive. You
must enable SMART function for each logical drive.
• Disabled means the SMART has been disabled or is not a feature of this disk
drive.
Firmware Version – Refers to the Promise controller, not the disk drive.

feature allows you to obtain the number for warranty or support purposes without
removing it from the enclosure.
