About Disk Alert

The RAID manager application includes a disk alert feature that provides a graphical
indication of the status of the hard disks in the system.

When the RAID manager application detects a failure condition of an attached drive, a
pop-up box appears in the clock area of the Windows system tray. Click the pop-up box to
view the manufacturer-provided bitmap image of the system motherboard. The image
shows the hard drive connector ports and provides a visual indication of the location and
status of the drives as follows:

Red rectangle: A red rectangle will flash around the port connector that is attached to

the failed drive.

Green rectangle: Ports that have a drive attached, and are in a healthy state, are

indicated with a green rectangle around the port connector.

Yellow rectangle: Ports that have a drive attached, are members of a failed RAID array,

but are not the cause of the failure have a yellow rectangle around the port connector.

Unconnected ports have no visual indication.
