Windows Software

The  eSATA RAID+™ has a monitoring program that runs automati-

cally when you start your computer. The function of this program is to

monitor the status of the Channel 1 and Channel 2 drives and to alert

you if both drives are not identical.  It eliminates the need to run the

eSATA RAID+™ application to check the status of the drives. The

monitoring program places a small icon in the system tray at the

bottom right–hand corner of your computer screen.

Right click on the  eSATA RAID+™ system tray icon to bring up

the following choices:

Start the application

About the  eSATA RAID+ Monitor (the monitor revision number)

Exit  (stop monitoring)

Double click on the  eSATA RAID+™ system tray icon to open

the  eSATA RAID+™ Status window.

The color of the icon changes according to the  eSATA RAID+™

Status. The colors may be interpreted as follows:

Blue

The  eSATA RAID+™ application did not find the

eSATA RAID+.

Red

The  eSATA RAID+ is 

NOT IN MIRROR MODE

.

Yellow

The  eSATA RAID+ is 

IN MIRROR MODE

 but the

drives are 

NOT IDENTICAL

Green

The  eSATA RAID+ is in Mirror Mode and the drives

are 

IDENTICAL
