User Manual 83
5.4.5 Activate Failed Disk
It forces the current failed disk in the system to be back online. Activate Failed Disk
function has no effect on the removed disks, because a removed disk does not give the
controller a chance to mark it as failure.
Followings are considered as Removed-Disk:
(1). Manually removed by user
(2). Losing PHY connection due to bad connector, cable, backplane
(3). Losing PHY connection due to disk fail
Basically, in the eyes of the controller, the disk suddenly disappears due to whatever reason.
5.4.6 Identify Enclosure
To identify an Enclosure, move the mouse cursor and click on Identify Enclosure link.
The Select The Enclosure For Identification screen appears. Tick on the enclosure
from the list of enclosures, then click on the Submit button to identify the selected
enclosure. All disk drives’ LEDs in an enclosure will flash when a particular enclosure is
selected.
