ASUS PCI-DA2200 User’s Manual
controller communicates with the SAF-TE enclosure with standard
SCSI commands, polling the device in order to get SAF-TE
information.
The default value for “Periodic SAF-TE Device Check Time” is
“Disabled”. If the enclosure does have a SAF-TE device and features,
enable the controller to poll the device by selecting a time interval.
The RAID controller will then check the SAF-TE device status at that
interval.

Periodic Auto-Detect Failure Drive
Swap Check Time
The “Drive-Swap Check Time” is the interval at which the controller
checks to see whether a failed drive has been swapped. When a
logical drive’s member drive fails, the controller will detect the failed
drive (at the selected time interval). Once the failed drive has been
swapped with a drive that has adequate capacity to rebuild the
logical drive, the rebuild will begin automatically.
The default setting is “Disabled,” meaning that that the controller
will not Auto-Detect the swap of a failed drive. To enable this
feature, select a time interval.
