ASUS GUI RAID Manager: Basic Operations at Startup
3.6
Working with Windows
3-23
NOTE:
The Physical Drives window also provides you
with a real-time report on the drive status, using the same
symbols and colors to represent various conditions. What
you see on the Enclosure window is also reflected on the
Physical Drives window. These windows though differ in
the way physical drives are presented; in the Enclosure
window, the drives are arranged according to their actual
locations in the drive bays, while in the Physical Drives
window, the drives are arranged according to the connectors
they connect onto.
You can also display some information about a particular drive
by simply placing the mouse pointer on its respective icon. A
table similar to the following appears:
This table displays the current configuration of the drive,
including the drive’s slot number, the channel number of the
connector on the controller to which the drive’s SCSI cable is
connected, the ID number of the connector on the SCSI cable
where the drive is installed, the drive’s capacity, status, transfer
rate, the ID number of the logical drive where the drive belongs
(if there is one), and the drive’s manufacturer (if available).
To facilitate management of the Enclosure window, the GUI
RAID Manager supports the drag-and-drop function for moving
objects within the Enclosure window. If you need to move an
object to a different location within the window, just drag its
corresponding icon to the target destination.
