BIOS CONFIGURATION

3.7.5.11 Controller Fan Detection

The ARC-1880ix series incorporate one big passive heatsink that

allows the hot devices such as a ROC and expander chip to keep

cool. In addition, newer systems already have enough air flow

blowing over the controller. The big passive heat sink has pro-

vided enough adequate cooling for ROC and expander chip.

The “Controller Fan Detection” function is available in the firm

ware for detecting the cooling fan function on the ROC which

uses the active cooling fan on the ARC-1882i/x/LP/ixl-8/ixl-12

low profile board. When using the passive heatsink on the con

troller, disable the “Controller Fan Detection” function through

this McBIOS RAID manager setting. The following screen shot

shows how to change the McBIOS RAID manager setting to dis-

able the warning beeper function.

(This function is not avail-

able in the web browser setting.

3.7.5.12 Auto Activate Raid Set

When some of the disk drives are removed in power off state

or boot up stage, the RAID set state will change to “Incomplete

State”. But if a user wants to automatically continue to work

while the 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller is powered on, then user

can set the “Auto Activate Raid Set” option to “Enabled”. The

RAID state will change to “Degraded Mode” while it powers on.
