Figure 1-5: Opening the Front Handle
The LCD panel shown in
Figure 1-5
consists of a 16 characters x 2
rows LCD screen with push buttons, a mute button, and LED status
indicators. The LCD front panel provides full access to all array
configurations and monitoring options. After powering up the
subsystem, the initial screen will show the subsystem model name. A
different name can be manually assigned to the subsystem or to
different RAID arrays. This enables easier identification in a topology
consisting of numerous arrays.
