Save Information
Right click the controller icon and select Save Information. See Figure 84.
This option opens a file dialog allowing you to specify the path and name of the Save Information
file. This file has a standard ASCII format and can be viewed or printed with a text editor or word
processing system.
The Save Information file contains all relevant information on the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR
(including firmware version, cache size, connector assignment, termination assignment), the
connected devices (for example, firmware version, SCSI parameters, selected transfer rate, number
of grown defects, last status information), the logical drives, array drives and host drives. Thus, it
represents an easy and effective way to create a detailed document of the Intel RAID Controller
SRCMR (s) and disk array(s).
The Save Information file can also be very helpful for a remote diagnosis of a system. If a trained
support person has a copy of this file (by fax, by email), it can be used to bring the system back to
full operation.
