Physical Devices
The Physical Devices view displays information about the drives and
enclosures attached to the Adaptec RAID controller. The devices are
organized by the channel or port they are connected to and shown in
numerical order.
The display for each channel includes information on maximum speed
capability, the number of the channel on the controller, and the number of
devices found (excluding the SCSI controller).
Selecting a channel or device turns the

Changing How Drives are Displayed
By default, the Physical Devices view displays a condensed view of the
controller configuration and hides detailed drive information. You can
access more information either by positioning the cursor over the device or
clicking the arrowhead to the left of a row of devices.
The selected display mode button appears in a lighter shade of blue than the
other two buttons. The default display is the Text Description view, but in
the condensed view shown when Adaptec Storage Manager is loaded, the
display is the same in all three modes.
If you change the display mode by selecting the other view buttons, a
yellow arrow flashes to the left of any devices where the condensed display
omits information.
