Viewing System health and status
The RamSan makes it possible to view system health variables in a variety
of ways. This allows you to easily determine that the system is in good
health and, under rare circumstances, determine that a failure is imminent
or has occurred.

Front Panel Monitoring
When the menu on the front panel is not in use, the display
monitors various aspects of the system. The display presents the
following information:

During any synchronization

The system displays
