3.7.5.11 Controller Fan Detection
The ARC-1883ix series incorporate one big passive heatsink at -
taching a active cooling fan that allows the hot devices such as a
ROC and expander chip to keep cool. In addition, newer systems
already have enough air flow blowing over the controller. If the
systems have provided enough adequate cooling for ROC and
expander chip, user can remove the attaching fan on the big
passive heat sink.
The “Controller Fan Detection” function is available in the firm -
ware for detecting the cooling fan function on the ROC which
uses the active cooling fan. When using the passive heatsink
on the controller, disable the “Controller Fan Detection” func-
tion through this McBIOS RAID manager setting. The following
screen shot shows how to change the McBIOS RAID manager
setting to disable the warning beeper function.
3.7.5.12 Auto Activate Raid Set
When some of the disk drives are removed in power off state
or boot up stage, the RAID set state will change to “Incomplete
State”. But if a user wants to automatically continue to work
while the SAS RAID controller is powered on, then user can set
the “Auto Activate Raid Set” option to “Enabled”. The RAID state
will change to “Degraded Mode” while it powers on.
