to add.

Duration for the task.

Selecting Self-tests to be Performed
Two self-tests can be set: one to check whether UDMA Mode can be
upgraded, and another to check whether SMART thresholds have been
exceeded. (For more information about these self-tests, see the 3DM
Reference section, “Scheduling page” on page 199.)
Initially, these tests are set to run every 24 hours. You can change the schedule
for when they are run, and you can disable the tests, if you prefer not have to
have them performed.
To select self-tests to be performed
1 Choose
Management > Schedule from the menu bar.
The Scheduling page appears, showing the schedule for Rebuild Tasks.
2 Select Self-test Tasks from the drop-down list at the top of the page.
Note: The scheduled tasks can be added in any order. For example a new task
scheduled for Tuesday (slot-2) will preempt the task originally scheduled for
Wednesday (slot-1).
Note: These tasks will only be run during scheduled times if they are checked in
the Schedule Self-tests
section of the Scheduling page. If neither of the tasks is
checked, self-tests will never run, even if you have scheduled time slots set.
