CPU Fan Detection
The RAID controller card incorporate one big passive heatsink attaching a active cooling fan 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. If the systems have provided
enough adequate cooling for ROC and expander chip, user can remove the attaching fan on the big
passive heat sink.
The “CPU Fan Detection” function is available in the firmware for detecting the cooling fan function
on the ROC if you want to use the active cooling fan on the low profile board. When using the
passive heatsink only on the controller, disable the “CPU Fan Detection” function through this from
McBIOS RAID manager setting or Web Browser.

SES2 Support (EliteSTOR 12G Series support SES2, only use for non-supported unit)
If your SAS backplane does not implement the correct SES2 function, you can disable the SES2
support on controller. Controller will use SMP (only monitor PHY not environment) to communicate
with SAS backplane, but you will be not able to monitor the backplane information.

Max Command Length
Max Command Length is used to set a "best" IO size for the RAID controller.
•
Auto Activate Incomplete Raid
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
SAS RAID controller is powered on, the user can set the “Auto Activate Incomplete Raid” option to
enable. The RAID state will change to “Degraded Mode” while it powers on.
•
Disk Write Cache Mode
User can set the “Disk Write Cache Mode” to Auto, Enabled, or Disabled. “Enabled” increases speed,
“Disabled” increases reliability.
•
Write Same For Initialization
Drives that support the Write Same feature (SCT) can write to multiple drive sectors at once,
improving initialization time. To take advantage of this feature, all the drives in the unit must
support Write Same. User can set the “SAS And SATA”, “SAS Only”, “SATA Only” or “Disabled” for
the controller initialization.
•
Hot Plugged Disk For Rebuilding
It defines if the RAID array volume should start rebuilding or not when detects a disk is
inserted/re-inserted during online. The options are: “Blank Disk Only”, “Always”, and “Disable”. The
default is “Blank Disk Only”.
