CHAPTER 8 SIMULATING THE HARDWARE STATUS

This function simulates the hardware status and general purpose external contacts status of

this equipment. By simulating the hardware status and general purpose external contacts

status, you can test a user application and check the notification interface of the RAS

software even if a hardware error does not actually occur or connection to external

contacts is not done.

When the hardware status general purpose external contacts status are simulated, the RAS

software is set to a special mode called "simulation mode". In "simulation mode",

monitoring of the actual hardware status is disabled. You must never use this equipment

in simulation mode for business use.

The simulation targets of this function are as follows:

・Fan condition

・Temperature condition inside the chassis

・Drive condition (including drive failure prediction (SMART monitoring) condition and

whether the used hours exceeded the threshold)

・Memory condition

・RAID status (B/T Model only)

・I/O state of general-purpose external contacts
