Basic mode allows simpler and quicker access to system administration. In basic mode, there are
four function tags in the function pane: RAID and Disk Information, Event Log Viewer, Basic RAID
Configuration and One Button Backup Settings. The current system configuration is displayed in
the Information Pane.
3.1 RAID and Disk Information
RAID and Disk Information
provides users the information
about RAIDBank5 controller,
physical disks and RAID volumes.
To identify the controllers, RAID
volumes and hard disks, click
the information bar (
) at top
and the related disk power LED
would flash. To display system
vitals including temperature,
fan speed, and voltages, select
the RAID controller from the
context pane and click
(Illustrated right). Encrypted
RAID sets will show a “key” icon (
), and non
encrypted sets will display a “normal” icon ( ).
Selecting a RAID set or disk drive below the controller
will display the disk information including disk model, capacity, raid membership, etc. To
display the disk’s SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) status, click
for the disk selected in the context pane.
3.2 Event Log
The RAIDBank5 records all notable
events the system experiences. To
view the event log, click the “Event
Log” button in the function pane.
Logs include issuing module, date,
