Setup of Preventive Disk Maintenance
In this section, the preventive disk maintenance (S.M.A.R.T.) is configured.
If the preventive disk maintenance (S.M.A.R.T.) is enabled (by checking Enable on the setting
screen), the disk fault monitoring function is enabled to detect possible disk faults. Disabling the
preventive disk maintenance disables the disk fault monitoring function.
The table below shows the potential cases in which the setup of the preventive disk maintenance is
modified.
