Initialize Logical Drives

: Offers the ability to run a full initialization

of logical drives at a time of your choice, not just immediately
following a new configuration. If it’s inconvenient to follow a
configuration immediately with a logical drive initialization, you can
decline the initialization and use this menu item to start the process at a
later time.



Caution

If you perform an initialization on a logical drive(s)
that you are currently using for data storage, you will
lose the data stored on the drive(s).

•

Controller Information

: Displays key information about the

currently-selected controller.

•

Enclosure Information

: Displays information and status about

components in the external disk enclosure.

•

Controller Options

: Sets various parameters for the selected Disk

Array Controller or SCSI HBA. Unlike Controller Information, user
definable controller parameters are modified in Controller Options.

•

Physical Device Options

: Displays a list of all physical devices

connected on the currently-selected controller and allows the user to
change transfer speed, transfer width, and/or tag value for individual
devices.
