SAF-TE processor that manages the hot-swap mass storage
cage.
For an external mass storage enclosure with a SAF-TE
processor, a SCSI ID is reserved for that processor. The

Initialize Option

You must initialize your logical drives before they can be used. This option
initializes the logical drives by writing zeros to the data fields and generating
corresponding parity fields on drives with RAID levels 3, 5, 30, or 50.
Choosing Initialize from the Tools Management menu opens the Logical Drives
Configured box, which states the properties for the logical drives configured. The
hot key options available at the bottom of the window are:
SPACE-(De)Select, F2-(De)Select All Drives,
F10-Initialize
Select the logical drive(s) you want to initialize with the Spacebar or F2 button,
then press F10 to initialize the logical drives. You are asked to confirm that you
want to initialize the logical drives. Choosing Yes begins initialization. The
Initialize Logical Drives in Progress box opens to report on the progress of the
initialization process.
If you want to cancel the initialization process once you have started it, press the
Esc key. You are asked to confirm that you want to abort initialization.
CAUTION When you initialize logical drives by using the Initialize menu
selection, all data on the physical drives is erased.
