System Monitoring Features
There are a number of monitoring approaches that provide the operating status of
individual components.
Main System Monitoring
The system is aware of the status of components including those of:
Controller (presence, voltage and thermal readings)
PSU
Cooling module
Service (the Service signal to specify a specific enclosure)
Disk drives
Cooling Module Speed Adjustment:
If any of the detected temperature readings breaches the temperature threshold, the
firmware running on the managing system automatically raises the rotation speed of
all cooling fans.
Firmware (FW) and Management Software Suite
The firmware (FW) is preloaded and is used to configure the system. The FW can be
accessed through the management software, a browser-based graphical user
interface (GUI) software that can be installed on a local/remote computer and
accessed via the network. The manager communicates with the array via the
connection of the existing host links or the Ethernet link to the array's Ethernet port.
Audible Alarms
The system comes with audible alarms that are triggered when certain active
components fail or when certain controller or system thresholds are exceeded.
Whenever you hear an audible alarm, it is imperative that you determine the cause
and rectify the problem immediately.
Event notification messages indicate the completion or status of array configuration
tasks and are always accompanied by two or three successive and prolonged beeps.
The alarm can be turned off using the
mute button
on the front panel.
