Can ASUS DS300f G2 run using just one power supply?
The ASUS DS300f G2 must use at least two power supplies.
ASUS DS300f G2 must use at least TWO power supplies. What happens if a fan fails?
If the system reports a fan malfunction, contact Technical Support (see ASUS Storage Technical Support provides
several support options for ASUS Storage users to access information and updates. We encourage you to use one
ofourelectronicservices,whichprovideproductinformationupdatesforthemostefcientserviceandsupport.)
immediately to schedule replacement of the suspect power supply as soon as possible. Running the unit in this
condition for more than three weeks may shorten subsystem life and void your warranty.
What happens if a logical drive goes critical?
On the front of ASUS DS300f G2, the logical drive LED turns amber and the buzzer sounds (if enabled). See “ASUS
DS300f G2 is Beeping” on page 201 and “LEDs Display Amber or Red” on page 202.
ASUS DS300f G2’s Netsend service does not report all events to Windows PCs.
This condition results from a shortcoming in Windows Messenger that causes miscommunication with Netsend.
ASUS Storage is developing a workaround at the time of this writing. Note that all events are correctly reported in
the Event Viewer.

Why am I not able to log in?
Check the spelling and case. User names and passwords are case sensitive.
I have entered correct user name and password, but still I am not able to log in.
The Administrator may have deleted or disabled your user name.
The login screen says “Login failed: the requested service is busy.”
The subsystem might still be booting or rebooting. Dual controller subsystems take longer because the controllers
boot individually, then they synch to each other. Wait a few moments, then try again.
connectIon
Why can’t I connect to my RAID System?
Be sure you are using the correct IP address and entry text for the ASUS DS300f G2 RAID subsystem.
For more information, see “Logging into ASUS Storage Management” on page 50.
I veried the IP address and entry text but I still cannot connect.
Check the physical network connections on the ASUS DS300f G2 RAID subsystem. If these are OK, report the prob-
lem to your network administrator.
I can access the ASUS DS300f G2 over my company’s intranet. But I can’t access it from an outside Inter-
net connection. How do I make the Internet connection work?
This condition is not related to the ASUS DS300f G2 or ASUS Storage Management. The problem is caused by your
rewallornetworkconnectionprotocol.Contactyournetworkadministratorforhelp.
I tried to log into ASUS Storage Management but my browser showed the message “cannot be dis-
played.” What is the problem?
The browser decided prematurely that ASUS Storage Management was not responding. Click the browser’s Refresh
button. This action usually brings up the login screen.
tImeoutS
ASUS Storage Management was working OK. But then it timed out. What do I do now?
ASUS Storage Management times out when 24 minutes have passed with no user activity. User activity means any
action you do in ASUS Storage Management to view or manage the subsystem. This feature is included for security
purposes.
Have your administrator change the timeout interval.
Or to prevent ASUS Storage Management from timing out, periodically click the interface with your mouse.
emaIl meSSaGeS
Why don’t I receive email messages from ASUS Storage Management?
Check your User Event Subscription and User Email settings. See page 71. If these are correct, see your network
administrator for assistance with the mail server setup, email accounts, and other issues.
