The
Home
page provides a quick summary of the state of your Nexsan High-Density Storage unit and all of its
modules. Its appearance depends on whether you are connecting to a single storage unit or to a storage
unit/expansion unit pair.
Single Storage Unit
When you are viewing a single storage unit, the
Home
page displays a diagram of the unit with icons for each
component.

icon indicates the current temperature of that RAID Controller.
