component failure notifications will improve the overall operation of the
subsystem and help ensure the longevity of the ES RAID subsystem.

Subsystem Monitoring Overview
Subsystem Monitoring
Firmware (FW): The controllers in the AR3016G come with pre-
installed FW, which can be accessed using either the LCD panel or
a PC hyper-terminal. The AR3016G can be connected to a PC
hyper-terminal through the COM ports. Device status information
can be obtained from the FW. The FW is fully described in the
User's Operation Manual that came with your system. Please
refer to this manual for further information.
RAIDWatch: RAIDWatch is a fully integrated, Java-based,
Graphics User Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and
can be used to monitor and maintain the subsystem and the RAID
controllers using your web browsers. The LAN port at the back of
each controller module enables you to use an Ethernet cable to
connect to the subsystem.
The RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to show a direct
representation of the AR3016G in the content panel of the
RAIDWatch screen. Panel View allows you to quickly determine
the operational status of critical AR3016G components. Please
refer to the RAIDWatch User's Manual for further details.
