ARRAY
INFORMATION

From

)81&7,21 6(/(&7, use the left/right arrow keys to select $55$<

,1)250$7,21 (see “Menu Structure (3 of 5—Array Info & Rebuild)” on page
3-8)
. These display-only selections let you view the following array
information:

),50:$5(
7(03(5$785( 6(16256
&$3$&,7<

FIRMWARE

The

),50:$5( menu gives you access to three firmware parameters: firmware

revision level (

),50:$5( 5(9); the results of a checksum test (7(67

&+(&.6806); and a display of the hexadecimal tallies of the checksum test
(

',63 &+(&.6806).

FIRMWARE REV

Displays the revision level of the firmware residing in the array’s firmware
PROM device. Two submenus display the date and time associated with the
firmware revision, and a third submenu displays the model number of the array.

TEST CHECKSUMS

This item and its submenu display, as

3$66 or )$,/, the results of a test in

which expected checksums are compared to actual calculated checksums of the
current contents of the Primary (PR) firmware buffers, and the BIST buffer.
Matching checksums for a buffer verify that the contents of that buffer have
not changed and it passes the test.

DISP CHECKSUMS

This item is similar to the

7(67 &+(&.6806 item except that, instead of

showing a

3$66 or )$,/ condition, the actual checksums are displayed in

hexadecimal. Two submenu items are associated with

',63 &+(&.6806. In

the second submenu item, there are four entries: at the upper left, the expected
checksum from the primary buffer appears; at the lower left, the calculated
checksum for the primary buffer is shown; at the upper right, the expected BIST
checksum appears; and at the lower right, the calculated BIST checksum
appears.

TEMP

SENSOR

Displays the temperature detected by the sensor (on the controller board) in
degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit.
