of the selected RAID controller board. The left-most column of the corresponds to SCSI ID
0. The SCSI ID increments by one number for each column. The letters STBY, DEAD, and
ONLN indicate standby, dead, and online. During rebuild, a box with dashes indicates the
rebuild process is occurring. A blank box indicates that a disk drive was not found for that
channel location and SCSI ID.
NOTE SCSI ID3 is blank to indicate it is reserved for the entire disk array.

Use Select Adapter to select the RAID controller board for information or to perform an
action. The available DAC960 controller boards on the system are displayed as Adapter 1,
