2.9.5 HDD Detect.

The HDD Detect feature provides two methods of monitoring the HDD: display of S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and

Reporting Technology) data, and Bad Sector Detection. These methods can be used to assure the normal functioning of the disk,

and anticipate failures.

S.M.A.R.T. Display

1. Open the S.M.A.R.T. display menu. Go to Menu | System Maintenance | HDD Detect

2. To execute a self-evaluation test on an HDD:

a. On the HDD line, open the drop down list to select the HDD of interest.

b. On the Self-test Type line, open the drop down list to select the type of test to execute. You can choose either Short

Test, Expanded Test or Conveyance Test.

c. Click the icon on the S.M.A.R.T. line to execute the test. Allow the test to complete before continuing. The result of the

test is shown on the Self-evaluation line.

3. Examine the S.M.A.R.T. data provided for the HDD. Check to ensure that the data in the value and Worst column does not

exceed the data in the Threshold column.
