Field
Description
Fail Physical Drive if
Error Threshold
Reached
Marks drive as Failed when error threshold is reached. After
this drive is marked as Failed, it can’t be used anymore. Drive
status can be changed only from the BIOS Configuration
Utility (<Ctrl><M>). This option is not set by default.
Start Rebuilding if Error
Threshold Reached
IDE Software RAID Configuration Console begins an
automatic rebuild if the array has more than a specified
number of errors. If so, it starts an automatic rebuild.
* - This option is valid only for arrays set for reliability mode
(RAID 1 mirrored arrays).
Check Array for Rebuild
at Startup
IDE Software RAID Configuration Console checks the number
of errors in the arrays to see if they need rebuilding.
Stop Rebuilding if
Rebuilding Error
Threshold Reached
If the maximum number of errors allowed is found in an
array during rebuild, IDE Software RAID Configuration
Console will stop the rebuild.
Make Contents of Array
Drives Identical after
Check Consistency error
found
If IDE Software RAID Configuration Console finds mismatches
between two mirrored (RAID 1) arrays, it will copy the data
from one drive to the other to make them identical.
* - This option is valid only for arrays set for reliability mode
(RAID 1 mirrored arrays).
Delete Activity Log Files
when it reaches
maximum Allowed Size
This deletes the activity log file if it reaches the maximum
allowable size (as set in the box below this item).
If checked, the activity log file is overwritten when it reaches
the maximum size. If not checked, the file stops updating
when it reaches the maximum size and is not updated
anymore.
Activity Log File Size
Use this box to select the maximum size for the activity log
file.
Enable S.M.A.R.T. on
Physical Drive
If this option is checked, it enables S.M.A.R.T. monitoring of
all physical drives attached to the RAID controller.
S.M.A.R.T. Poll Interval
This setting allows you to set the time interval that S.M.A.R.T.
status is checked.
