• HDD SMART Status Polling
An external RAID enclosure has the hardware monitor in the
dedicated backplane that can report HDD temperature status
to the controller. However, PCI type controllers do not use
backplanes if the drives are internal to the main server chassis.
The type of enclosure cannot report the HDD temperature to the
controller. For this reason, "HDD SMART Status Polling" function
was added to enable scanning of the HDD temperature function.
It is necessary to enable “HDD SMART Status Polling” function
before SMART information is accessible. This function is disabled
by default.
The following screen shot shows how to change the setting to
enable the polling function.
