7.3 Viewing the Connected Drives

Prior to configuring disk drives into a logical drive, it is necessary to understand the status of

the physical drives in your enclosure.

Fig. 7.5 View and Edit Drives Page

Use the arrow keys to scroll down to “View and Edit Drives” to display information on all the

physical drives installed.

Drives are listed in the “View and Edit Drives” table. Use the arrow keys to scroll the table.

First examine whether there is any drive installed but not listed here. If a disk drive is installed

but not listed, the drive may be defective or not installed correctly. If so, please contact your

RAID supplier.

NOTICE!

• Drives of the same brand/model/capacity might not have the same block number.

• The basic read/write unit of a hard drive is block. If members of a logical drive have differ-

ent block numbers (capacity), the smallest block number will be taken as the maximum

capacity to be used in every drive. Therefore, use drives of the same capacity.

• You may assign a Spare Drive to a logical drive whose members have a block number

equal or smaller than the Local/Global Spare Drive, but you should not do the reverse.
