EonStor F16F-R/S4031 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
Configuration Client:
Configuration Client is a powerful sub-
module that runs as a software program independent from
RAIDWatch and can be installed on different management
stations. It is used for event notification via email, fax, LAN
broadcast, SNMP traps, MSN Messenger, SMS (Short Message
Service), and the configuration utility screen. Configuration Client
helps prevent blind time and keeps you constantly aware of system
status. Instructions on activating Configuration Client
functionality are given in the
RAIDWatch User’s Manual
.
LEDs
: Device-status-indicating LEDs are located on all active
components. The LEDs inform you of the integrity of a given
component or a given link. You should become familiar with
different LEDs that are present on the subsystem and their
functions. (See
Section 4.2
)
Audible alarm:
A beeper comes with the RAID controller board
and will be triggered if any of a number of threatening events
occurs. These events usually jeopardize the functional integrity of
the subsystem and must be heeded at all times. Events such as a
violated temperature threshold will trigger the alarm. If a
subsystem manager is present, he can use any of the management
tools to determine the cause of the alarm and take appropriate
measures.
