Physical Drive Information

The information on this panel is self-explanatory. There are no user-
selectable properties for physical devices. Icons for other storage
devices such as CD-ROM drives and DAT drives may also appear in the
left panel.

The next release of Embedded MegaRAID Software will enable you to
identify which physical drive is represented by a disk icon on the left by
blinking the drive’s LED. (This will work only for drives that are in a disk
enclosure.) The procedure for doing this is as follows:

1.

Click the physical disk icon in the left panel.

2.

Click the Operations tab in the right panel.

3.

Select Locate Physical Drive, and click Go.

The LED on the physical disk drive in the enclosure starts blinking to
show its location.

4.

To stop the disk drive light from blinking, select Stop Locating
Physical Drive
, and click Go.
