Check the boxes next to the self-tests you want to be performed.

Unlike scheduling of rebuilds and verifies, scheduling of self-tests is always
enabled.
To disable self-tests you must either remove all schedule times, or uncheck
the tests listed in the
Tasks
column.
Locating a Drive by Blinking Its LED
You can easily identify the drives in a unit, or an individual drive, by causing
the LEDs associated with the drives to blink.
When you have drives installed in an enclosure that has an integrated AMCC/
3ware CCU (chassis control unit) and have connected the I
2
C (chassis
control) connector on the 3ware RAID controller to the chassis, you can
locate individual drives by blinking their associated LED.
You can issue the command to blink the LED through 3DM.
(For details about what the different LED patterns on the enclosure mean, see
“Enclosure LED Status Indicators” on page 140.)
To blink the LED for a drive

Note:
Drive Locate is supported by some chassis vendors. This feature requires a
chassis with a Chassis Control Unit (CCU) designed according to AMCC/3ware
specifications. Check the 3ware support web site for future updates on a list of
chassis vendors that support the CCU, as they become available.
