System and Disk Health Information
The ReadyNAS provides basic system health information about the fans, temperatures,
optional uninterruptible power supplies, optional expansion disk arrays, and fan speed
control.
To view system and disk health information:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select System > Performance > Status.
3. To view disk status and health information, point to a disk status indicator.
4. To change the fan speed setting, select Quiet, a quieter, slower speed, Balanced,
a medium speed, or Cool, higher and louder speed, from the drop-down menu
below the fan icon. The actual speed of the fan depends on system temperature
and the number and types of disks installed, and varies depending on activity. When
the speed is set to Quiet, the average system temperature is higher than when the
speed is set to Balanced or Cool.
System Real-Time and Historical Monitoring
The ReadyNAS provides status graphs for volume throughput, network throughput,
volume utilization, and system temperatures.
Note: Status graphs are not supported for ReadyNAS 102, 104, 202, 204, 212, 214,
or 2120 systems.
To display and configure the system status graphs:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select System > Performance.
